This book offers a sweeping overview of Javanese musical and
cultural interactions with the rest of the world, providing
critique and reconsideration of the prevalent themes and ideas that
have fascinated scholars for decades. It will be essential reading,
not only for Javanists but for scholars of postcolonialism in
general.
