Resistance on the National StageTheater and Politics in Late New Order IndonesiaMichael H. Bodden

“The scholarship of the manuscript is impressive, and the research thorough, painstaking and up to date. Its original contribution lies in the detailed, perceptive discussion of theatre activities and performances, linked with sophisticated, highly-informed analysis of contemporaneous political structures, events and currents of thought. The breadth of sources drawn on for such analysis, including many newspaper reports and reviews as well as play-scripts, unpublished papers and interviews, is a major strength of the study.”—Barbara Hatley,author of Javanese Performances on an Indonesian StageNo. 123 • 2010 352 pages978-0-89680-275-9 pb $29.95
