PANDANGAN PENGARANG ATAS BURUH MIGRAN INDONESIA DALAM NOVEL SUMAYYAH KARYA NIZAR ABADZAH

Abstract

Indonesian Migrant Workers are Indonesian workers who work abroad. They must leave Indonesia at a productive age, by leaving various social problems to bear the burden of solving family economic problems and providing foreign exchange for the country. These foreign exchange heroes in the country where they work are seen as tools to get work done, and not as human beings who need privacy, protection, respect and other human needs. This view has caused many problems, both psychological and social problems that have not been resolved until now, especially for migrant workers who work in the domestic sector, as happened to Marruni, a character of migrant worker in the novel of Sumayyah by NizarAbadzah. Abadzah is seen as a character who comes from the country that uses migrant workers’ services. This study is needed to understand the root problems that have been faced by Indonesian Workers who working in the Middle East. This study aims to find out author’s world view Marruni, the character of Indonesian Migrant Worker in the Novel of Sumayyah by using the theory of genetic structuralism.
