Imej Suku Dayak di Mata Pengarang Melayu: Suatu Penelitian ke Atas Naskhah Syair Perang Cina di Monterado
Abstract
Buku sejarah Eropah sebelum tahun 1800 Masihi tidak ketinggalan dari memerihalkan penempatan mereka iaitu Pulau Kalimantan sebagai sebuah tempat utama yang penuh dengan kekejaman, keganasan dan kematian yang mengejut. Demikianlah gambaran yang sering kali melekat dengan sosok suku ini sewaktu namanya disebutkan sesuai dengan konotasi kata “Dayak” itu sendiri. Menjalani kehidupan jauh diceruk pedalaman yang berhutan tebal dan bergunung ganang memungkinkan suku ini tidak terdedah dengan beberapa aspek penting dalam kehidupan terutamanya dalam bidang keilmuan dan keintelektualan. Keterlambatan suku Dayak terdedah
dengan bidang keilmuan membataskan mereka untuk menguasai sistem tulis dan baca sehingga menyebabkan mereka hanya bergantung kepada tetek tatum iaitu kesusasteraan lisan yang diwarisi untuk mengujarkan latar belakang mereka. Senario ini sedikit sebanyak memberikan kesukaran kepada para sarjana untuk menekuni perihal suku Dayak ini. Namun, dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi dalam meneliti naskhah historiografi Syair Perang Cina di Monterado, analisis mendapati bahawa pengarang naskhah ini tidak hanya merakamkan peristiwa peperangan yang berlaku di Kalimantan Barat semata-mata malah turut memanfaatkan ruang karyanya itu untuk memuatkan sejumlah gambaran mengenai suku Dayak. Imej suku Dayak yang diabdikan oleh pengarang lewat naskhah syair historiografi ini sedikit sebanyak dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu sumber untuk mencermati dan mengenali suku Dayak dengan lebih dekat lagi.
