Abstract

This research examines the identity development of blasteran (mixed-race) individuals in Indonesia, with
a focus on how they navigate their cultural heritage and social integration within Indonesian society.
Drawing from qualitative data, the study explores the experiences of seven informants, aged 19 to 22,
who live in urban areas such as Jakarta and Bekasi. The informants, representing a range of mixed ethnic
backgrounds, provide insight into the complexities of identifying as both Indonesian and foreign. The
research investigates the personal experiences of these individuals, emphasizing how familial dynamics,
societal expectations, and cultural influences shape their sense of self and belonging. Through
phenomenological analysis, the study highlights how cultural, social, and familial factors contribute to the
sense of belonging and self-acceptance of blasteran individuals. The findings reveal a nuanced
understanding of identity, where mixed-race individuals experience both a sense of pride and challenges
in reconciling their dual heritage. This study contributes to the broader discourse on race, ethnicity, and
identity in Southeast Asia, particularly in post-colonial contexts, and underscores the importance of social
acceptance and personal agency in the development of a coherent mixed-race identity.
Key Words: Mixed-race, Biracial Individuals, Blasteran, Identity Development, Identity
Development Theory, Multicultural Individuals, Mixed-heritage.
