These exiles, around 500 in number, spent about fifteen years in socialist countries, mainly China, the USSR, Vietnam and Albania, most of them undergoing military and ideological training, and preparing themselves to bring revolution to Soeharto’s New Order, but they ended up moving to Western Europe in the 1980s and settling in capitalist countries like the Netherlands, France and Sweden. These exiles have produced an important corpus of works (about 130 books), among which are a number of autobiographical texts, which constitute a specific branch of Indonesian autobiography as a literary genre. The exiles write mainly with the aim of recovering their identity; they have been excluded, they want to go back home and be recognized as Indonesian citizens again. Most of them, however, have returned to Indonesia on visits as European nationals, thus remaining forever exiles. La « littérature d’exil » indonésienne (sastra eksil) désigne l’ensemble des écrits d’auteurs indonésiens qui furent contraints de vivre à l’étranger pour des raisons politiques après le putsch du 30 septembre 1965. Ces exilés, au nombre d’environ 500, passèrent une quinzaine d’années dans des pays socialistes, en particulier la Chine, l’URSS, le Vietnam et l’Albanie, suivant pour la plupart une formation militaire et idéologique, et se préparant à porter la révolution contre l’Ordre Nouveau de Soeharto, mais ils partirent finalement pour l’Europe de l’Ouest dans les années 1980 et s’installèrent dans des pays capitalistes comme les Pays-Bas, la France et la Suède. Ces exilés ont produit un corpus d’ouvrages important, environ 130 livres, parmi lesquels se trouvent un grand nombre de textes autobiographiques, qui constituent une branche particulière de l’autobiographie en tant que genre littéraire. Les exilés écrivent principalement dans le but de recouvrer leur identité ; ils ont été exclus, ils veulent rentrer chez eux et être reconnus à nouveau comme des citoyens indonésiens. La plupart d’entre eux, cependant, sont retournés en Indonésie en visite, comme citoyens europeens, demeurant définitivement des exilés.
