Abstract

Ethnic Chinese is an ethnic group that has long been part of the people of Bangka Island. The harmonious relationship between the ethnic Chinese and the indigenous population shows that the habituation process is going well so that their existence is accepted as a social reality. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods to collect data from interviews and observations in regencies/municipalities within Bangka Island. This research finds that the existence of the Chinese ethnicity has been processed by strengthening the four main capitals of the Chinese ethnicity (Bourdieu’s view): economic capital, social capital, cultural capital, and symbolic capital. Capital control has encouraged good role-sharing politics because capital control is carried out transformatively. It is not surprising that the Chinese minority subculture, although in many ways it feels dominant, can still be accepted as a social reality that forms intercultural harmony on Bangka island.Etnis Tionghoa merupakan etnis yang telah lama menjadi bagian dari masyarakat Pulau Bangka. Hubungan yang harmonis antara etnis Tionghoa dan penduduk lokal menunjukkan bahwa proses habituasi berjalan dengan baik sehingga keberadaan mereka diterima sebagai realitas sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif untuk mengumpulkan data dari hasil wawancara dan observasi di kabupaten/kota di Pulau Bangka. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa keberadaan etnis Tionghoa telah diproses melalui penguatan empat modal utama etnis Tionghoa (pandangan Bourdieu): modal ekonomi, modal sosial, modal budaya, dan modal simbolik. Penguasaan modal telah mendorong politik berbagi peran yang baik karena penguasaan modal dilakukan secara transformatif. Tidak mengherankan bahwa subkultur minoritas Tionghoa meski dalam banyak hal terasa dominan, masih bisa diterima sebagai realitas sosial yang membentuk harmoni antarkultur di pulau Bangka.
