Tana Toraja

"This study traces the history of Tana Toraja over more than a century, from 1870, forty years before the Dutch took control of the highlands, to the 1990s. It shows how the people of this area re-negotiated their place in the province and in the Indonesian nation during times of major political change, and succeeded in avoiding ethnic and religious hostility of the sort that has plagued nearby Central Sulawesi and other parts of Eastern Indonesia."--BOOK JACKET.
