Product Description
Product Description
This study of Jakarta presents a general history of the city. It follows two main themes: Jakarta as the showpiece for social policies in the Indonesian archipelago and the rich complexity of Jakarta's population. For centuries the city grew relatively slowly, and immigrant groups of Chinese, Arabs, Europeans and Indonesians from all over the archipelago mingled to produce unique cultural forms. In the last 40 years, that intricate web has been torn apart by political changes and massive waves of Indonesian immigrants who are still struggling to create their own urban culture in a predominantly rural country.
