The glossy guide book image of Bali is of a timeless paradise
whose people are devoutly religious and artistically gifted.
However, a hundred years of colonialism, war and Indonesian
independence, and tourism have produced both modernizing changes
and created an image of Bali as 'traditional'.
Incorporating up-to-date ethnographic field work the book
investigates the myriad of ways in which the Balinese has responded
to the influx of outside influence. The book focuses on the
fascinating interrelationship between tourism, economy, culture and
religion in Bali, painting a twenty-first century picture of the
Balinese. In documenting these diverse changes Howe critically
assesses some of the work of Bali's most famous ethnographer,
Clifford Geertz and demonstrates the importance of a historically
grounded and broadly contextualized approach to the analysis of a
complex society.
