In Search of Middle Indonesia

The middle classes of Indonesia's provincial towns are not particularly rich yet nationally influential. This book examines them ethnographically. Rather than a market-friendly, liberal middle class, it finds a conservative petty bourgeoisie just out of poverty and skilled at politics.
Please note that Sylvia Tidey's article (pp. 89-110) will only be available in the print edition of this book (9789004263000).
