In the first major work on Indonesian historiography to have appeared in any language, 22 outstanding scholars survey available source materials in Asia and Europe and discuss the current state of Indonesian historical scholarship, the approaches and methods that might be fruitful for future research, and the problems that confront Indonesian historians today. The contributions which can be made to historical studies by other disciplines - such as economics, sociology, anthropology, and international law - are discussed by specialists in these fields. Problems of Indonesian historiography are presented not only from points of view of the different social sciences, but also from those of historians who differ in approach and interpretation from one another. Originally published by Cornell University in 1965, this book has now been reprinted in 2007 as part of the Equinox Classic Indonesia series.
