NEW BOOK: An Indonesian Frontier: Acehnese & Other Histories of Sumatra, by Anthony Reid

We've taken delivery of this in our bookshop on the NUS campus, and will be launching it next week in Taipei. However the book will not be scaled out to bookshops in the region till after the end-of-year holiday rush.

From the blurb:

This book is the fruit of 40 years' study of Sumatran history, from the 16th century to the present. While seeking patterns of coherence in this vast island, it focuses on Aceh, which has both the most illustrious past and the most troubled present of any Sumatran region.
