(Paperback)

Herb Feith came to Australia as a Jewish refugee from war-torn Europe in 1939 and went on to become an internationally renowned and passionate scholar of Indonesia. This engaging biography tells his own extraordinary story and traces his interest in Indonesia, his determination to establish networks of serious study of Indonesia and Southeast Asia and his commitment to peace activism.

(Paperback)

This is the first book in almost two decades to bring together scholars of Indonesia from the Australian academy to reflect on and engage in a deep critique of their field, resulting in some divergent views on the fundamental questions of how Indonesia should be studied and the uses of Indonesia knowledge for activism.
