Often we hear discordant voices regarding the threat of foreign cultures to Indonesian culture and we are in a hurry to respond to them. Whereas for a long time our scholars and humanists have formulated the concept of Indonesian culture which is compiled in the book Polemik Kebudayaan (Cultural Polemic). The book Polemics of Culture brings together a collection of Indonesian scholars and humanists about culture and its polemics. This anthology book contains the thoughts of Sutan Takdir Alisjahbana, Sanusi Pane, Purbatjaraka, Sutomo, Tjindarbumi, Adinegoro, M. Amir, and Ki Hajar Dewantara. Readers can explore the main thoughts of scholars and cultural observers about how an Indonesian culture should be formed. Surely this book can be an answer for us, that foreign culture is not something to be afraid of.
