Summary

This book examines the ways in which certain national politicians, ethnic groups, and local communities in the Malay-Indonesian world express their ethnicity--and how their ethnicity is portrayed and identified by others, whether they be near (fellow citizens and the like) or far (Europeans, for instance). A full range of images relevant to Malay-Indonesian selfhood is presented, from symbols of national identity to those at the regional and local levels.
