| Summary: | Colonization was the Dutch East Indies� ethical politics implementation since
the beginning of the 20th century. In spite of parsing the density of Java population,
colonization also expected to boost the economic growth in the destination regions,
which are the island outside Java. However, the migration process of Javanese is not
an easy case because of socio-cultural and psychological factors. Therefore, the
colonial government issued a series of propaganda in various media such as
photographs, books, leaflets, and film that illustrate the potential for colonization
region. The government also used Javanese cultural sym bols such as making use of
the village chief as propagandist, organizing folk theaters, and using puppet figures in
a number of media propaganda. This is expected to change the paradigm convince
people of the tanah sabrang. In fact, these media were not entire successful to attract
the Javanese people attention. For example, the screening of propaganda film, �Tanah
Sabrang� was not able to raise the rate of departure colonist even though this was
always flooded with thousands of people. Apparently Javanese people were more
interested in the �wrap� rather than its essence.
The changing implementation of the colonization system from time to time
also affects the amount of Javanese people�s interest in boyong. Colonization initially
held with the freely system, those who depart are exempted from any cost, even given
sufficient supplies. This system did not last long until the colonization experiences
the absence of this system, in 1930
