A critique of Gregory Bateson's and Margaret Mead's Balinese Character (which still stands as the definitive reference on Balinese culture and personality), this work studies anew the original issues of the character of the Balinese.

Review
"This book puts Bateson's and Mead's study into its proper context: it was a brave and radical anthropological experiment produced in a colonial context....This book is not to be ignored, for it is a starting point for more complex discussions of the issues which it raises."--Journal of Asian Studies
"Essential for graduate students of anthropology and cross-cultural psychiatry and is of general interest to readers of Mead and Bateson."--Choice
