About This Item
Honolulu.: University of Hawai'i Press.. 2000.. xi + 257pp, index, bibliography, notes, some pencil marking still a good paperback copy. "Recent scholarly work on nationalism has revealed the importance of the nation imagined as a community. The subjects of these works, however, have been largely political speeches, polemical essays, and radical journalism. Missing has been the one literary genre where the individual's commitment to the imagining of the nation is most explicitly addressed: autobiography. In looking critically at eight autobiographical works, all concerned in one way or another with the question of what it means to be an Indonesian in the twentieth century, C. W. Watson demonstrates the value of reading autobiographies as accounts of nation-building." Publisher's description. .
