Contents:
Introduction: Democracy, markets and the assertive middle / Gerry van Klinken -- Part one. Class -- Betting on the middle? Middletown, Mojokuto and "middle Indonesia" / Ben White -- Working class revisited : class relations in Indonesian provincial towns / Nicolaas Warouw -- Class mobil / Jan Newberry -- Part two. The state -- A divided provincial town : the development from ethnic to class-based segmentation in Kupang, West Timor / Sylvia Tidey -- Ethnicity and young people's work aspirations in Pontianak / Wenty Marina Minza -- Resisting reforms : the persistence of patrimonialism in Pekalongan's construction sector / Amalinda Savirani -- Part three. Everyday culture -- Growing up in Kupang / Cornelis Lay (with Gerry van Klinken) -- Islam in provincial Indonesia : middle class, lifestyle and democracy / Noorhaidi Hasan -- In search of middle Indonesian : linguistic dynamics in a provincial town / Joseph Errington.
Summary: The middle classes of Indonesia's provincial towns are not particularly rich yet nationally influential. This book examines them ethnographically. Rather than a market-friendly, liberal middle class, it finds a conservative petty bourgeoisie just out of poverty and skilled at politics. Please note that Sylvia Tidey's article (p. 89-110) will only be available in the print edition of this book (9789004263000).
