Description: This book relates the story of Bali, its rulers, its people, and its encounters, often traumatic, with the Western world. Spanning the entire period since the beginning of recorded Balinese history, it sketches the history, economics, culture, and politics of the island as a background to the dilemma confronting the Balinese: the choice between economic decay or cultural decadence in the face of "cultural tourism", Bali's only really promising industry.--From back cover.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [254]-256).
