Resistance on the National Stage analyzes the ways in which, between 1985 and 1998, modern theater pracxadtitioners in Indonesia contributed to a rising movement of social protest against the long-governing New Order regime of President Suharto.

Trade Review
“The scholarship of the manuscript is impressive, and the research thorough, painstaking and up to date. Its original contribution lies in the detailed, perceptive discussion of theatre activities and performances, linked with sophisticated, highly-informed analysis of contemporaneous political structures, events and currents of thought. The breadth of sources drawn on for such analysis, including many newspaper reports and reviews as well as play-scripts, unpublished papers and interviews, is a major strength of the study.”
“Featuring many illustrations of works in performance, this book will appeal to anyone interested in Indonesian history and politics, or in postcolonial theater and culture.” * Book News *
