Jakarta Jive - A Story Of Survival In A City Of Upheaval
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
The months following the fall of Soeharto in May 1998 comprise one of the most tumultuous periods of modern Indonesian history. Many Indonesians refer to those months as the 'jaman edan', a poetic term for a chaotic time when evil is rewarded and good punished. The jaman edan, while a time of horror and suffering, also had its share of absurdity and farce. Jakarta Jive is a chronicle of the jaman edan through the eyes of those who lived through it. At times humorous, at other times harrowing, Jakarta Jive evokes the multifaceted character of that seminal period in the Indonesian nation's eventful history. Through accurate portrayal of public events and intriguing insight into private lives, Jakarta Jive will become a must-read book for anyone with an interest in modern Indonesia. Written by Jeremy Allan who lived in Indonesia from 1980 and who based this book on the stories of many of his friends. Paperback in good condition. The cover is clean and intact with a fold along the left hand edge. The binding is secure and the pages are clean. There is fading to the page edges and tops throughout.
