Ratu
PAGI itu Baizura terjaga dari tidur dan berasa hidupnya kosong. Dia seperti kehilangan sesuatu. Hidupnya tidak ubah macam boneka. Bila diperlukan dibelai dan disayangi tapi bila sudah tidak diperlukan ditinggalkan begitu sahaja. Sepatutnya dia gembira kerana berpeluang melancong ke Hong Kong secara percuma. Hanya di hari pertama sahaja dia berasa gembira tapi tidak di hari ketiga ini. Fikirannya melayang jauh. Cahaya mentari pagi masuk melalui tingkap yang terbuka luas di depannya. Dari katilnya dia boleh melihat pemandangan sebahagian dari Pelabuhan Hong Kong yang sentiasa sibuk itu. Pantulan cahaya di permukaan laut itu membalikkan kilauan warna-warna kristal dan menyilaukan mata. Beberapa buah tongkang kecil bergerak perlahan-lahan dan memecah kilau permukaan laut yang kelihatan berkaca itu.

The Pacific Way
Ratu Sir Kamisese's thoughtful and entertaining memoir of his personal and political life candidly outlines significant events in the development of Fiji, a plural society for which The Pacific Way holds a special and evocative meaning. The phrase inspired his 1970 partnership with the Indian opposition leader to produce a constitution whereby, in his own words, "people of different races, opinions and cultures can live and work together for the good of all, can differ without rancour, govern without malice, and accept responsibility as reasonable people intent on serving the interests of all." After leading Fiji through 17 years of multiracial harmony, he found it ironic that his defeat in ...
The Life of a Balinese Temple
Should a temple be seen as a work of art, its carvers as artists, its worshipers as art critics and patrons? What is a temple (and its art) to the people who make and use it? Noted anthropologist Hildred Geertz attempts to answer these and other questions in this unique look at transformations in material culture and social relations over time in a village temple in Bali. Throughout Geertz offers insightful glimpses into what the statues, structures, and designs of Pura Désa Batuan convey to those who worship there, deepening our understanding of how a village community evaluates workmanship and imagery.

A Fragile Nation

Racial and religious clashes, culminating in riots, burning and chaos, have become a daily event throughout the country. There are signs that this multi-racial, multi-religious and multi-cultural country may disintegrate just as Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. There are two major reasons why Indonesia is facing the crisis. First, Suharto failed to keep the balance of power between the armed forces and Islam, just as Sukarno had failed in his interplay of strength between Communism and the armed forces. When the balance was tilted, chaos and ...
