Here is an open door into one of the most complex societies in the
world today. These colorful stories, each uniquely different in
style and subject matter, take issue with worn stereotypes and
reflect both everyday life and the great upheavals that have marked
modern Indonesian national life: the end of Dutch and then Japanese
colonial rule, the bloody collapse of Sukarno's Old Order,
subsequent consolidation of a regime commited to development, and
coming soon a major and unpredictable leadership transition as
Soeharto's thirty-year rule winds down. With a population
approaching 200 million speaking 583 languages spread across 13,600
islands on 3 million square miles of ocean and with one of the
world's largest economies, growing fast in the midst of persistent
poverty, Indonesia demands our attention and understanding. Yet
information about it is woefully scarce.
Anyone interested in Indonesia and its literature will find
"Nusantara" (Homeland), expertly translated and introduced, an
excellent place to begin.
