Review: "Beginning to Remember addresses the many ways in which Indonesians have dealt with memory, its formation and its manipulation."Summary: "The writers in this collection consider how narratives of the past have taken shape, at local, national, group and individual levels in Indonesia, exploring the reasons why various understandings of issues such as national solidarity, citizenship, power, ethnic identity, religious belief and regional loyalty appeal to different elements in modern Indonesian society. They focus in particular at how Indonesia remembers trauma and violence. This diverse group of Indonesian and international scholars and commentators develop an understanding of the issues that most concern Indonesians as they reinterpret their recent history and the society it has shaped."--Jacket.
