both a deep knowledge of recent events in Indonesia and an
admirable familiarity with social theory...this book succeeds in
transcending customary analytical frameworks. It is a valuable book

Indonesia's post-1965 politics."--Pacific Affairs, Vol 79 No 1,

extended analysis of a case study and a variety of materials from
popular culture, Ariel presents a thesis that should be of great

political culture."--Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies, Vol
