Description
C.W. Watson explores the intricate relationship between self-identity and national narrative in modern Indonesia through a critical examination of eight autobiographical texts. The author delves into how these personal stories illuminate broader cultural and historical contexts, offering readers a nuanced understanding of Indonesian identity.
Each autobiographical work serves as a lens into the complexities of individual and collective experiences within a rapidly changing society. By analyzing the interplay of personal narrative and national representation, Watson invites readers to reflect on the ways in which individual lives contribute to the ongoing discourse of national identity in Indonesia.
