About This Item
Durham, North Carolina.: Duke University Press.. 1996.. Map, black and white photographic illustrations, xvi + 349pp, bibliography, index, edge and upper edge a little foxed, prior owner's name front free endpaper, some occasional pencilling in margins, otherwise a very good hardback copy. "The stories of Indonesian women have often been told by Indonesian men and Dutch men and women. This volume asks how these representations reproduced, transformed, and circulated in history, ethnography, and literature have circumscribed feminine behavior in colonial and postcolonial Indonesia.
Presenting dialogues between prominent scholars of and from Indonesia and Indonesian women working in professional, activist, religious, and literary domains, the book dissolves essentialist notions of women and Indonesia that have arisen out of the tensions of empire. The contributors examine the ways in which Indonesian women and men are enmeshed in networks of power and then pursue the stories of those who, sometimes at great political risk, challenge these powers."
