Summary

"This volume on social and economic change in Minahasa is an attempt to make up for the remarkable lack of regional studies on Indonesia. Minahasa has the reputation of being economically and socially more advanced than other outer island regions of the country. Hence, an in-depth regional study, despite obvious individual characteristics of the area, shows development trends for most parts of Indonesia. Based on extensive empirical field-work in rural Minahasa, the research findings presented in this book add to a wide and colourful picture of the various aspects of the modernization process, with its peculiar mix of continuity, change, and social aspirations. The collection of articles contains relevant information for students and researchers with an interest in village politics, religious life, women's role in rural development, and the impact of state ideology on development."--BOOK JACKET.
