Rebellion to integration : West Sumatra and the Indonesian polity, 1926-1998
"Rebellion to Integration explores West Sumatra's political history from the late colonial period up to the present. It focusses mainly on the course and degree of the Minangkabau people's integration into the Indonesian state, and gives a local perspective on the growth and development of the nationalist movement in Indonesia, the struggle for independence, and the viability of post-colonial Indonesia. A major theme of the book is the contrast between Minangkabau and Javanese perceptions of the nature of the Indonesian state that replaced the Netherlands East Indies."--BOOK JACKET
