Raiding the Land of the Foreigners. The Limits of the Nation on an Indonesian Frontier.
United States. Princeton University Press. 2003. Reprint. Stock ID #177058 "What are the limits of national belonging? Focusing on Biak, a group of islands off the coast of western New Guinea, in the Indonesian province of Irian Jaya, Danilyn Rutherford's analysis calls for a rethinking of the nature of national identity. With the resurgence of separatism in the province, Irian Jaya has become the focus of fears that the Indonesian nation is falling apart. Yet in the early 1990s, the fieldwork for this book was made possible by the government's belief that Biaks were finally beginning to see themselves as Indonesians." (Publisher's description).
