The Unlikely Nation?

A Short History of Indonesia: The Unlikely Nation?
Author: Colin Brown
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
Date: 2003
Pages: 270
Description:
This succinct work of history charts the growth of Indonesia, a remarkable nation of more than 6,000 inhabited islands. With lucid originality, the text incorporates more than 2 million years of history with depth and brevity -- particularly focusing on Indonesia's development into a microcosm of a multi-ethnic modern world. Many current concerns are perceptively addressed, such as the legacy of European-Asian trade, Dutch colonialism, and the emergence of what has become the largest Muslim population in the world.
