This collection of more than one hundred excerpts from speeches,
lectures, articles, and pamphlets, most of the not previously
available in English, is regarded as the principal source book on
Indonesian politics for the post-revolution period of
1945-1965.Chosen to define and illuminate the country's complex
issues, the selections provide a balanced, comprehensive, and
well-ordered survey of Indonesian political thinking from just
before independence to the fall of Sukarno. After an introduction
by Herbert Feith in which he discusses the Indonesian intellectual
and his place in politics, the major and minor Indonesian figures
of the period express their political views and their responses to
the events of the first twenty years of independence. A commentary
at the beginning of each chapter supplies background material
relating to the selections. Three appendixes offer brief
biographies of the Indonesian authors, a glossary of unfamiliar
terms, and a chronological chart. Indonesian Political Thinking,
now brought back to life in Equinox Publishing's Classic Indonesia
series, is a must-have resource for Indonesians and Indonesianists
alike. HERBERT FEITH (year) was professor of Politics at Monash
University, Victoria, Australia. He first became familiar with
Indonesian problems when he was an English Language Assistant with
the Ministry of Information of the Republic of Indonesia during the
1950s. He received the MA degree from the University of Melbourne,
the PhD from Cornell University, and was a Research Fellow in the
Department of Pacific History, Australian National University,
1960-62. Professor Feith is author of The Decline of Constitutional
Democracy in Indonesia, also a memberof Equinox Publishing's
Classic Indonesia series. LANCE CASTLES graduated from Melbourne
University, Australia, received the MA degree from Monash
University, and the PhD degree from Yale University. He is the
author of Religion, Politics, and Economic Behavior in Java: The
Kudus Cigarette Industry.
