AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This monograph presents a study of Javanese culture history and ethnography from approximately 1815-1990. Of particular interest in this document is the author's description of the differences between the cultures of the peasant population in the rural village communities and that of the intelligentsia in civil servant occupations in the more urban environments. Additional topics in this work include information on population, religion, social organization, the economic system, and language. The final chapter of this study, largely theoretical in nature, presents information on the Javanese symbolic system and value orientation. An extensive bibliography will be found at the end of this work.
