Review
"Taylor's approach challenges and opens the mind." - Jaime James, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Clear, erudite, and authoritative, this book provides a rich coverage of the vast tapestry of Indonesian society." - Ben Kiernan, Yale University "A rich and fascinating excursion into Indonesian history that is guided not only by the usual commanding authority of political events, but by the story of how different peoples, as communities, have interacted over the centuries to produce an Indonesia that, although diverse, can also be called a nation." - Foreign Affairs"
