Violence and vengeance : religious conflict and its aftermath in eastern Indonesia

Christopher R. Duncan (Author)
Between 1999 and 2000, sectarian fighting fanned across the eastern Indonesian province of North Maluku, leaving thousands dead and hundreds of thousands displaced. What began as local conflicts between migrants and indigenous people over administrative boundaries, spiraled into a religious war pitting Muslims against Christians and continues to influence communal relationships more than a decade after the fighting stopped. This book examines how the individuals actually taking part in the fighting understood and experienced the conflict
