Abstract
This study aims to explain the practice of social generosity that originates from oral tradition. This practice was carried out by Dutch colonial plantation workers in West Bali in the early 20th century. They were workers who were brought in from outside the island for special tasks and with contract worker status. This study uses a historical research method. The first stage of this method is the heuristic stage which is carried out using field observation, literature and interviews. The second stage is source criticism who collected data is codified. The third stage is interpretation who interpreted data into facts, then narrated. The fourth stage is historiography who delivered the argumentative narrative. The results of this study indicate that the practice of social generosity in West Bali between Dutch colonial workers with various cultural and religious backgrounds occurred through a long historical process. Babad Cendek is an oral culture that has not only been successfully written into traditional manuscripts, but has also been practiced as a historical consensus in the community in the region.
