Synopsis
What are the limits of cultural critique? What are the horizons? What are the political implications? John Pemberton explores these questions in this far-reaching ethnographic and historical interpretation of cultural discourse in Indonesia since 1965."This is a wonderful book--insightful, funny, engrossing. Through the subject of 'Java, ' it subtly but surely turns over the way we think about the culture of politics and the politics of culture. Everyone who cares about comparative cultural studies should read it."--Anna Tsing, author of In the Realm of the Diamond Queen: Marginality in an Out-of-the-Way Place
