Singapore. Oxford University Press. 1986. Stock ID #214395 "A study of the social relations in a slum squatter community in a large Indonesian city (Yogyakarta). When referring to this item please quote stockid 214395.
xvii + 191pp, bibliography, index, paperback, spine a little faded, first and last leaves a trifle browned but internally clean, overall good to very good.
The author, who lived in the community for the best part of four years and was able to obtain a unique entry into local society at all levels, introduces the study with a description of a kampung and its ways of life. This is followed by an examination of the existing social structure in the community and of the social attitudes prevalent in it. The influx of outsiders who took up residence as squatters in the already-established community is next discussed, and the rest of the study investigates how these two elements have achieved a reasonable measure of cohesion and integration."
