Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict in Indonesia

Más información sobre el libro

The book examines the surge of ethnic and religious conflicts in Indonesia following the end of Suharto's authoritarian rule in 1998. Jacques Bertrand argues that the constraints of Suharto's regime left the nation ill-equipped for political and social transformation, leading to a reevaluation of national identity. This analysis provides significant insights into the complexities of religious and ethnic strife in Indonesia, contributing to a deeper understanding of the country's sociopolitical landscape.
