In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

xiii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The compilation of the anthology greatly benefited from the intense and continual oral and written exchange between the contributors and the two editors. The result is a coherent line of reasoning which runs through the whole book and turns each chapter into a necessary, well-integrated part of the whole. We are deeply grateful to Mohammad Sadli who actually planted the seeds for the whole project. His continued inspiration and insightful comments, which by far transcended the framework of his own contribution, have guided our discussion until the end. Martin Sander’s astute critical reading of the chapters of Part I of the present volume accelerated the conclusion of this project. We are equally indebted to Milan Titus, whose expansive knowledge of the subject served as a never-ending source of inspiration. The editing of the individual chapters profited from Stewart Robson’s erudite translation of two very technical Indonesian contributions. Marleen Dieleman gave valuable comments as to the organization of the chapters, and Lika Meissner graciously assisted us in the final stage of the editing process. Last but not least, we would like to thank Wim Stokhof, former Director of the International Institute for Asian Studies, who encouraged us to publish the anthology in the IIAS series at ISEAS in Singapore. 00 D&RA_Indonesia Prelims 9/16/09, 8:40 AM 13 xiv 00 D&RA_Indonesia Prelims 9/16/09, 8:40 AM 14 ...
