"In this book, the author examines the rural history of Java during Dutch times and describes how the peasant protest movements were uncoordinated, each breaking out in response to some local initiative - be Islamic revivalism, a charismatic leader, or self-consciously political motives. Despite these different catalysts, the author argues, such movements were remarkably similar in ideology, organisation and development, thus making it possible to treat them as a concatenation which produced the seed of social change."
