Dialektik Nasionalisme Kumpulan Marginal: Keheterogenan, Konflik, Integrasi Bangsa di Kepulauan Siberut Mentawai Selatan, Indonesia.

The state of equity opportunities and development issues in South Siberut is alarmingly weak. A prime example is the secluded local community of Matotonan, which is often treated as if it is not part of Indonesian territory. This neglect is a result of various factors, including economic deterioration. In terms of its economy, education, health, politics, and infrastructure, this village lags significantly behind other villages in South Sumatera, highlighting the urgent need for intervention.The approach used in this paper is the qualitative approach. Documentary and ethnographic principles are used to attain data. In-depth interviews have also been conducted with several public figures such as sikerei, religious figures, political figures, and youths. The main issues are positive and negative impressions of the Nous relationship between the natives and the newcomers in South Siberut. What causes the peak of this conflict. Heterogeneity or diversity is the peak of this long-continuing conflict caused by economic, social, political and religious factors in South Siberut. Socio-economic inequality between the natives and the immigrant's ethnicity sets up the natives to be in marginalized circumstances. Furthermore, among immigrants, ethnicity has huge conflict potential, which is a religious and political conflict. Economic and social inequality issues are then politicized among the public, especially during elections. This issue is becoming worse to the point that it causes splits.It can be concluded that the marginalized native community's nationalism is, in fact, very fragile. They are often the target of rulers, politicians, and trade experts. They are placed in marginalized circumstances to not be able to rejoice in their independence. They live as a marginalized group to the point where their nationalism is nothing more than a fantasy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
