The 13,000 islands of their homeland, scattered along the equator, stretch the distance from London to Tehran, and the residents of the capital, Jakarta, tweet more than those of any other city on the planet.

One in 30 of the people on this planet is Indonesian. The 13,000 islands of their homeland, scattered along the equator, stretch the distance from London to Tehran, and the residents of the capital, Jakarta, tweet more than those of any other city on the planet. By any standard, Indonesia is a global hub, one of the most dynamic and diverse countries of the 21st century. But you don't have to look far from metropolitan Jakarta to find poverty, superstition, ancient rituals and black magic.Travelling from volcanoes and jungles to reefs and snowy peaks, investigative reporter Elizabeth Pisani sets out to capture the real Indonesia. On the way she meets the Sultan of Jogjakarta, a former presidential candidate who keeps a posse of albino dwarfs in his court, visits one of the largest red light districts in Asia, joins protesters trying to ban Lady Gaga from their homeland, and takes tea with a recently deceased grandmother.Written with Pisani's trademark wit and brio, this is an entertaining and indispensable guide to a fascinating country we can't afford not to know more about.

暴乱再起,印尼怎么了?
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
全球化与现代化的浪潮正以前所未有的力度席卷世界每个角落,国家之间的文化多样性正被一种同质化的“现代模板”逐渐覆盖,世界正在变得越来越相似。 在这一宏大背景下,印度尼西亚却仍然以其惊人的多元性挑战着这种“全球趋同”的叙事。作为世界上最大的群岛国家,印尼横跨三个... (展开)其他事项(Etc)都有哪些

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
