Traveler's Companion Indonesia


Book Description

Sensuous, exotic, and incredibly diverse, the Indonesian archipelago stretches for more than 5,000 km (3,200 miles) along the equator. Like lumps of rough-hewn jade on a velvet field of blue, its 13,600 islands have captured the imagination of travelers for centuries. Redolent of romance and the scent of drying cloves, Indonesia is the largest country in Southeast Asia. But one need not travel far to experience Indonesia's diversity. Tea plantations blanketing the slops of dormant volcanoes are only a few hours drive from coastal waters where lanteen-rigged prahus set sail much as they did centuries ago when the first Arabian traders arrived. As you page through "Traveler's Indonesia Companion", you will travel deep into a country of colorful contrast where temple cities bear silent witness to the greatness of vanished civilizations and costumed rituals dating back hundreds of years proceed amid the distant roar of jet aircraft. In the "Traveler's Indonesia Companion", the authors explore this vast archipelago from the riverine jungles of Borneo and the Dutch canals of old Batavia to the mist-shrouded mountain valleys of Irian Jaya where stone age tribes barely a generation removed from head-hunting still pursue a life of subsistence farming. Whether you are dreaming from an armchair or booking your flight, the Traveler's Indonesia Companion guides deliver the best information and guidance for exploring this breathtaking destination.

The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Nineteenth-Century Latin America


Book Description

The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Nineteenth-Century Latin America provides a unique, comprehensive, and critical overview of Latin American studies in the nineteenth century, including the major regions and subfields. The essays in this collection offer a complex, yet accessible transdisciplinary overview of the heterogeneous and asynchronous historical, political, and cultural processes that account for the becoming of Latin America in the nineteenth century—from Mexico and the Caribbean Basin to the Southern Cone. The thematic division of the book into six parts allows for a better understanding of the ways in which different themes are interrelated and affords readers the opportunity to draw their own connections among subfields. The volume assembles a robust sample of recent and innovative scholarship on the subject, reformulating from fresh perspectives commonly held views on the issues that characterized the era. Additionally, it provides an overarching analysis of the field and introduces cutting-edge concepts all within one expansive volume, opening the dialogue about topics that share common denominators and modeling how those topics can be approached from a variety of perspectives. The innovative volume will be of interest to students and scholars of Latin American studies and Spanish studies. Readers unfamiliar with the period will acquire a comprehensive view of its complexities, while specialists will discover new interpretations and archives.
