The Paradox of Islam and Culture (Tradition and Belief abot Gender Perspective in West Sumatra)
Abstract
Abstrak
Artikel ditulis berdasarkan teori bermain peran dalam pendekatan psikologi, yang akan membahas peran laki-laki dalam komunitas Minangkabau. Laki-laki memiliki peran yang banyak dalam masyarakat Minangkabau, seperti sebagai kemenakan, paman, dan pemimpin masyarakat. Sehingga, secara teoritis laki-laki memiliki kekuatan yang banyak. Mereka memiliki tanggung jawab untuk melindungi harta keluarga. Tetapi, sayangnya, posisi mereka ada di bawah kendali perempuan. Semua jenis keputusan harus dikonfirmasikan dengan perempuan (sehingga ada istilah Bunda Kandung). Ini artinya kita harus memikirkan kembali tentang perspektif gender dalam komunitas Minangkabau, karena perempuan mendominasi kekuasaan.

The male has many role in the Minangkabau society, like; (a) as a nephew, (b) as a uncle, (c) as a community leader. So, theoriticaly male have a lot of power. They had responsible to protect their fanily wealth as one example. But, unfortunoutly, their possition in “underarm of women”. All kinds of dicission should be get confirm from the women (“so-called”: Bundo Kandung). It means that we should re-thinking about gender perspective in Minangkabau community, because female dominate the power.
