"The Dark Side of Paradise is an effective attempt to put the
politics back into Bali's twentieth-century history. With a sure
mastery of both Indonesian and Dutch sources, Robinson analyzes the
class tensions between aristocrats and commoners during the late
colonial period."—Times Literary Supplement"Robinson's work
reaches beyond history, amply illustrating the possibilities of
what might be termed a 'comparative historical sociology'
approach."—Indonesia"Robinson's incisive, well-written work
demolishes the fiction of the 'peaceful Balinese' that pervades
academic and popular literature, and, for the first time, places
modern political history directly into the middle of Balinese
scholarship."—Choice"This is a brilliant book that must be read
by anybody interested in modern Indonesia."—Journal of the Royal
Institute of Linguistics and Anthropology
