Summary "Indonesian Politics and Society is a tool for understanding social and political change in Indonesia over more than three decades. It contains more than eighty translated extracts of speeches, pamphlets, manifestos and poems, providing a unique insight into the social thought and political concerns of a wide range of actors intimately involved in the struggle to shape modern Indonesia following the triumph of Soeharto's New Order in the 1960s." "Much of the material presented is made accessible for the first time to English-language readers. As such, the book is a text for scholars of modern Indonesia, and for those who seek to understand the ideas that continue to be relevant to the actors currently reshaping the country's social and political terrain."--BOOK JACKET
