Editor's Note:
Mengenal Sejarah Sulawesi Selatan*Warisan Arung Palakka; Sejarah Sulawesi Selatan Abad ke-17 merupakan alternatif bacaan tentang sejarah daerah-daerah di Indonesia, yang kini sebagian masih bebenah diri. Karya penulis asal Selandia Baru, Leonard Y Andaya ini bukanlah tentang dongeng sebuah negeri.Lebih dari itu, banyak isu kontroversial yang jawabannya berusaha dipaparkan dalam buku ini. Mulai dari perdebatan nama Makassar dan Ujung Pandang; Siapakah sang pahlawan, Sultan Hasanuddin atau Arung Palakka; Siapakah yang menunggangi atau ditunggangi dalam usaha penyerangan Kerajaan Gowa, Arung Palakka atau VOC?Begitu pula isu penting lainnya yang belum banyak dikenal publik, seperti perbedaan konsep hukum Eropa dan Sulawesi Selatan (Sulsel) yang mempunyai andil besar menimbulkan konflik terbuka antara VOC dengan Gowa. Latar belakang pribadi Arung Palakka dan Speelman yang mendorong mereka ”menafsir ulang” perintah Batavia dan mengadakan serangan total ke Makassar.Buku ini merupakan salah satu terjemahan tentang literatur sejarah Sulsel. Berbagai bahan tulisan, mulai dari naskah lontara, cerita-cerita rakyat di berbagai daerah di Sulsel, serta syair gubahan orang Makassar keturunan Melayu. Berikut surat-menyurat VOC, catatan perjalanan serta tulisan-tulisan ilmiah yang berasal dari Eropa, membuat tulisan ini semacam magnum opus kajian wilayah Sulsel.
