A Short History of Indonesia by Colin Brown

A Short History of Indonesia by Colin Brown

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.

Colin Brown is Professor of Asian Studies at Flinders University. He has taught at universities in Australia and Indonesia, and has published widely on Indonesian history, culture and politics. An active member of the Australia Indonesia Business Council, he has been a frequent visitor to Indonesia since 1972.Series Editor Milton Osborne has had an association with the Asian region for over 40 years as an academic, public servant and independent writer. He is the author of eight books on Asian topics, including Southeast Asia: An introductory history, first published in 1979 and now in its eighth edition, and, most recently, The Mekong: Turbulent Past, Uncertain Future, published in 2000.
