"S. Ann Dunham, was an anthropologist who specialized in social and economic development in Indonesia. Dunham received her doctorate in 1992. She died in 1995, at the age of 52, before having the opportunity to revise her dissertation for publication, as she had hoped to do. Dunham's thesis adviser, Alice G. Dewey, and her colleague, Nancy I. Cooper, undertook the revisions at the request of her daughter, Maya Soetoro-Ng. The result is 'Surviving Against the Odds', a book based on Dunham's fourteen years of research among craftsmen in Java, the island home to nearly half Indonesia's population.

A work of economic anthropology, 'Surviving Against the Odds' reflects Dunham's commitment to helping small-scale village industries survive; her pragmatic, non-ideological approach to research and problem-solving; and her impressive command of history, economic data, and development policy. Along with photographs of Dunham, the book includes many pictures taken by her in Indonesia." (Publisher's description).
