Synopsis
This book describes the wondrous beauty and rich history of Java, the "Paradise of The Eastern Tropics" and "Pearl of The East". The author writes with great passion about the land, its people, its verdant landscapes, active volcanoes, and cultural tapestry. She provides a concise overview of the island's position and broad ethnic breakdown before diving into deeper examinations of the Javanese and their customs. Java's culture, religion, education, architecture, social classes, daily life, and traditions come alive as the author highlights the island's fascinating history. The book not only provides historical insight into the power dynamics at play in the Dutch East Indies but also provides context as to why and how the island became a land of such diversity and cultural interest. She furthermore addresses the topic of Western influence in the region, discussing the Christian and Muslim missionaries who have contributed to the cultural and religious landscape we see today. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone with a passion for Southeast Asian history and culture.
