Abstract

This study aims to analyze the fate of peasants in South Sumatra against the exploitation carried out by the New Order government and capitalists in the plantation and forestry sectors and its impact on peasants. This study uses a historical method consisting of topic selection, source collection (heuristics), source sorting (verification), interpretation (interpretation), and writing history (historiography). The sources used consist of contemporary newspapers, records of the Central Statistics Agency, articles, and books. The results of this study explain that there is a rural conflict between forest and plantation exploitation. Thus, it gave rise to protests and social movements carried out by peasants. As happened in Ogan Komering Ilir, Ogan Komering Ulu, Muara Enim Regencies, South Sumatra. The peasant demanded compensation for land that the government and companies forcibly took. However, the realization of the replacement has yet to be achieved. Instead, it has caused physical and legal conflicts between the government, companies, and peasant.
