{"product_id":"the-history-of-indonesia-steven-drakeley-9780313331145","title":"The History of Indonesia","description":"\u003cp\u003eCulturally and politically, Indonesia is one of the more complex countries in the world, with 336 ethnic groups speaking 583 languages and dialects. It is only recently that these people have been contained within one political framework. Throughout most of history, Indonesia's inhabitants were divided politically in many different ways as a bewildering array of kingdoms and empires rose and fell within the region. Since independence in 1945, one of the challenges Indonesia faces is constructing a unified national identity. Through six chapters, Drakeley discusses Indonesian history beginning with settlement and social development in 5,000 BCE, through the Colonial Era, the Independence Movement, the Sukarno Era, and the Soeharto Era, to the 2004 elections. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIdeal for students and general readers, the \u003ci\u003eHistory of Indonesia\u003c\/i\u003e is part of Greenwood's \u003cb\u003eHistories of Modern Nations\u003c\/b\u003e series.
