Maps, black and white photographic illustations, xviii + 287pp, notes, glossary, bibliography, index, spine trifle sunned, a very good paperback copy.
Citing evidence from his research, internal military documents, and ethnographic accounts, Jamie S. Davidson refutes popular explanations for these flare-ups. The recurrent violence has less to do with a clash of cultures, the ills of New Order - led development, or indigenous marginalization than with the ongoing politicization of ethnic and indigenous identity in the region."
