This book tells the story of Bali--the "paradise island of the
Pacific"--its rulers and its people, and their encounters with the
Western world. Bali is a perennially popular tourist destination.
It is also home to a fascinating people with a long and dramatic
history of interactions with foreigners, particularly after the
arrival of the first Dutch fleet in 1597. In this first
comprehensive history of Bali, author Willard Hanna chronicles Bali
through the centuries as well as the islanders' current struggle to
preserve their unique identity amidst the financially necessary
incursions of tourism. Illustrated with more than forty stunning
photographs, A Brief History of Bali is a riveting tale of one
ancient culture's vulnerability--and resilience--in the modern
world.
