Abstract
Historical events are one source of inspiration for writers to write literary works. Thus, historical events are not only found in historical texts, but also in literary works. One of them is the novel entitled Napoleon dari Tanah Rencong which is a historical novel because it revives the history of the Aceh War in the context of social revolution in Aceh. This study aims to show the representation of jihad in Napoeon dari Tanah Rencong by Akmal Nasery Basral. The concept of representation and hegemony will be used to address problems in this study. The method used in this research is qualitative with descriptive design. The results of the research show that Napoleon dari Tanah Rencong is able to reveal something different about the representation of jihad from what has been known by most of the people of Aceh. Jihad's representation in the novel is related to hegemony, politics and interests.
