description: Indonesia, one of the largest and most diverse countries of Asia, is undergoing rapid social transformations. Based on intensive field research in Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan the authors discuss modernization and social change at the grassroots, like ethnic and cultural dynamics, changing gender and labour relations, social mobility and middle class formation. Furthermore a general cultural analysis of the Indonesian state and society is designed to put diverse processes into a consistent framework and enable the reader to interpret current political and economic trends.
