Abstract
The author of this paper is concerned with what Banjar mean by 'Banjar', it is not her intention to discover an essential, authentic or primordial meaning. Identities, of course, are not fixed in space and time, but rather 'socially constructed, historically conditioned, and culturally mediated' (Rosaldo 1988:161), and it is the social construction, historical conditioning and cultural mediation of the identity 'Banjar' which forms the focus of this paper.
