This literary research delves into the forms of human rights violations in the novel Namaku Alam, specifically employing the theoretical framework of new historicism. New historicism, which emphasizes the interplay between historical context and literary texts, provides a rich lens through which to analyze the representation of human rights issues in Indonesian literature. This study reveals how the novel Namaku Alam reflect and critique societal norms and political structures that perpetuate human rights violations.The research identifies several key themes that resonate with the principles of human rights, including discrimination, inequality, and the struggle for justice. Through a close reading of the texts, it becomes evident that this novel not only depict the violations of human rights but also serve as powerful tools for raising awareness about that issues. New historicism allows for a nuanced understanding of how literary works are embedded within their historical contexts. This approach reveals how the author draw upon historical events, cultural traditions, and contemporary political debates to create narratives that are both deeply personal and profoundly political. The findings of this research underscore the significance of literature as a medium for addressing human rights issues. By engaging with the theoretical framework of new historicism, this study highlights the critical role that literary works can play in shaping public discourse and influencing societal attitudes towards human rights. Ultimately, this research argues that literature can serve as a powerful tool for promoting empathy, understanding, and social change, thereby contributing to a more just and equitable society.
