Rita Smith Kipp author of Dissociated Identities: Ethnicity, Religion, and Class in an Indonesian Society
With this chilling, meticulous study of how ideology begets hysteria, Bowie sets a new standard in the anthropology of the state. She traces the origins and growth of a conservative social movement and plumbs the popular, emotional appeal of its central rite of initiation. Bowie's eyewitness account of this ritual of indoctrination and the politics of class in a developing nation informs the ongoing debate about hegemony and agency.
