Malay culture acculturation: the existence and the globalization

Noor Efni

Abstract: 

At this present time, Malay culture in Riau Province faces three conditions affecting its existence. Firstly, the coming and domination of contemporary culture that influenced by the globalization. Secondly, Indonesian culture is always side by side with local cultures. Thirdly, primordialism still exists in several Riau Malay people who refuse any mixing and changing. Among of those three conditions, the changing brought by the globalization seems unavoidable. Making integration is needed to be done with negotiation and consolidation between sub-culture or culture function with running-time context. Malay at the very beginning which is essential should be changed into contextual. Negotiation and consolidation is actualized in the process called acculturation.
