In 1945, Indonesia’s declaration of independence promised: ‘the details of the transfer of power etc. will be worked out as soon as possible.’ Still working on the ‘etc.’ seven decades later, the world’s fourth most populous nation is now enthusiastically democratic and riotously diverse – rich and enchanting but riddled with ineptitude and corruption.
Elizabeth Pisani, who first worked in Indonesia 25 years ago as a foreign correspondent, set out in 2011, travelling over 13,000 miles, to rediscover its enduring attraction, and to find the links which bind together this disparate nation. Fearless and funny, and sharply perceptive, she has drawn a compelling, entertaining and deeply informed portrait of a captivating nation.

一句话荐书:本书推荐给对印尼已有感性认识的人士,能够更加深入了解印尼不同地区(尤其是东部)的人文风貌和社会文化。 我记得第一次到访问机构的时候,一位印尼研究人员要请我喝一杯咖啡,我按照从小学的中式英语,回答了“No, thank you.”。我满以为跳过这一步可以直接聊事... (展开)理想国:对世界做观察分析讨论的老坐标点及其体系已淡化

从七月开始在通勤路上断断续续的看这本印尼游记,作者在1988年被路透社外派到印尼,又在2012年去而复返写下此书。作者用游记的方式展示了一个集体主义、信仰自由又不自由、官僚做派、腐败、好客、暴力的improbable and contradicted nation,值得一读。刚好读到书的最后一章作者回到雅加达的时候,我自己也该启程去雅加达外派工作了。
