"The author draws on his long and culturally rich association with Java to put together this far- reaching ethnographic and historical interpretation of cultural life in Java, from the days of the Javanese kings until the New Order period under Suharto. As an ethnomusicologist and later, anthropologist, John Pemberton draws on his learning and experience to stitch together a complete scenario of palace as well as peasant life in Indonesia's most populous and culturally dominant island."
