The Politics of the Periphery in Indonesia is a thought-provoking examination of local politics and the dynamics of power at Indonesia's geographic and social margins. After the fall of Suharto in 1998 and the introduction of a policy of decentralization in 2001, local stakeholders secured and consolidated decision-making power, and set about negotiating new relations with Jakarta. The volume deals with power struggles and local-national tensions, looking among other things at resource control, the historical roots of regional identity politics, and issues relating to Chinese-Indonesians. The authors develop information in ways that transcend the post-colonial territorial boundaries of Indonesia in the Malay-Indonesian archipelago, and use case studies to show how the changes described have galvanized Indonesian politics at the cultural and geographical peripheries.

Buku The History of Java telah menjadi salah satu sumber sejarah paling penting untuk mengetahui kehidupan masyarakat Jawa di masa lalu. Buku ini ditulis oleh Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, seorang administrator kelahiran Inggris, yang sangat terobsesi untuk merekam eksotisme dunia Jawa yang penuh dengan keragaman serta keunikan geografis dan budaya. The History of Java diterbitkan pertama kali pada tahun 1817 dalam dua volume. Volume Pertama berisi tentang inti buku itu sendiri secara lengkap, sedangkan Volume Kedua berisi informasi tambahan dan lampiran. Kedua volume itu kemudian dirangkum menjadi satu dalam buku ini. Isinya antara lain mencakup keadaan geografis, informasi mengenai penduduk asli Jawa, keadaan pertanian, kepercayaan dan upacara keagamaan, bahasa, serta beberapa hal-hal menarik lainnya. Kerja keras dan ketekunan Raffles telah membuahkan sebuah masterpiece yang sangat berharga bagi masyarakat Indonesia.
