Princeton. Princeton University Press. 1985. Stock ID #180164

Map, black and white photographic plates, xi + 290pp, index, bibliography, appendix, spine little sunned, otherwise a very good paperback copy.

"The most important study of Javanese religion since Clifford Geertz's Religion of Java (1960). An ethnographically rich and historically detailed portrait of the last Hindu enclave in Muslim Java, Hefner's work is also a compelling account of the symbolic processes involved in religious conversions.

This is a brilliant study which is certain to appeal to readers concerned with post-structuralist theory as well as specialists in Asian Studies, Hinduism, and Islam" (Publisher's description).
