About This Item
New Haven.: Yale University Press.. 1985.. Maps, black and white photographic illustrations, xii + 244pp, index, bibliography, notes, cloth along lower edges discoloured in places, light shelf wear dustjacket, otherwise good hardback copy. "Over the last century, North Sumatra has been the site of one of the more intensive and successful pursuits of foreign agricultural enterprise in the Third World and of overt - sometimes violent - confrontation between capital and labour. This fascinating ethnographic history by Ann Laura Stoler analyses how popular resistance actively molded both the form of this colonial expansion and the social, economic, and political experience of the Javanese labouring communities on Sumatra's plantation borders".
