A New Criminal Type in Jakarta - Counter-Revolution Today

"James T. Siegel tells the story of a nation not able to contain its revolution and makes us feel the pathos of its aftermath. This special book challenges any market-optimistic approach to the understanding of Indonesia and non-Western societies in general."--Rudolf Mrazek, University of Michigan

James T. Siegel

Summary

Examining the links between the concept of criminality and scandal, rumour, fear, and the state, this book analyses daily life in Jakarta through the seemingly disparate and strongly connected elements of family life, gossip, and sensationalist journalism.
