Books About Indonesia

Indonesia, Etc.: Exploring the Improbable Nation by Elizabeth Pisani.

Declaring independence in 1945, Indonesia said it would “work out the details of the transfer of power etc. as soon as possible.” With over 300 ethnic groups spread across over 13,500 islands, the world’s fourth most populous nation has been working on that “etc.” ever since. Author Elizabeth Pisani traveled 26,000 miles in search of the links that bind this disparate nation.

A Brief History of Indonesia: Sultans, Spices, and Tsunamis: The Incredible Story of Southeast Asia’s Largest Nation by Tim Hannigan.

Indonesia is the largest nation in Southeast Asia and has the fourth largest population in the world. Indonesian history and culture are especially relevant today as the Island nation is an emerging power in the region. It is a land of incredible diversity and unending paradoxes that has a long and rich history stretching back a thousand years and more.
