An Introduction to Indonesian Historiography
by
Soedjatmoko (Ed.)

In the first major work on Indonesian historiography to have appeared in
any language, twenty-two 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 diff erent social sciences, but also
from those of historians who differ in approach and interpretation from
one another. This unique work proves to be great value to historians and
social scientists as an introduction to both sources for and different
approaches to the history of an important part of the world.
