About this Item
xvii + 191pp, bibliography, index, paperback, little sunning to lower cover, internally clean, overall good to very good. A Study of the social relations in a slum squatter community in a large Indonesian city (Yogyakarta). The author, who lived in the community for the best part of four years and was able to obtain a unique entry into local society at all levels, introduces the study with a description of a kampung and its ways of life. This is followed by an examination of the existing social structure in the community and of the social attitudes prevalent in it. The influx of outsiders who took up residence as squatters in the already-established community is next discussed, and the rest of the study investigates how these two elements have achieved a reasonable measure of cohesion and integration.

The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
