Opium to Java: Revenue Farming and Chinese Enterprise in Colonial Indonesia, 1860-1910 (Asia East by South) - Hardcover
Synopsis
James R. Rush explains the workings of the opium farm system by measuring the social, economic, and political reach of the opium monopolies within the Dutch-dominated colonial society. Tracing the development and decay of the opium "farm," Rush offers new perspectives on the colonial state that emerged in Indonesia in the early twentieth century, when Holland increasingly subordinated its colonial subjects to bureaucracies of a modern kind.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. x, 281 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. Opium smoking was a widespread social custom in nineteenth-century Java, and commercial trade in opium had far-reaching economic and political implications. As in many of the Dutch territories in the Indonesian archipelago, the drug was imported from elsewhere and sold throughout the island under a government monopoly - a system of revenue "farms". These monopoly franchises were regulated by the government and operated by members of Java's Chinese elite, who were frequently also local officials appointed by the Dutch. The farms thus helped support large Chinese patronage networks that vied for control of rural markets throughout Java. Seller Inventory # bm303
