Neill, W.T. — Twentieth-Century Indonesia
Columbia University Press New York xiv, 413, 1 map, b/w photos. . HB. 8vo, qtr leather. Plates slightly trimmed. From the library of the entomologist and traveller Guillaume Marie de Rougemont (1945-2020).Vg.. Introduction states From almost any standpoint--geological, biological, historical, cultural-the Republic of Indonesia is complex. Even the country's official motto, <i>Bhinneka Tunggal Ika</i>, emphasizes ethnic heterogeneity, the courtly Javanese phrase being translatable as 'Unity in Diversity'. This book is intended to unravel some of the complexities; to make Indonesia clearer in the mind's eye, and more intelligible to Westerners.". [9780231035477]
