    The book explores the surge of ethnic and religious conflicts in Indonesia following the end of Suharto's authoritarian regime in 1998. Jacques Bertrand posits that these tensions stem from the constraints of Suharto's rule, which left the nation ill-equipped for political and social transformation. It critically examines the evolving definitions of Indonesian identity and offers significant insights into the complexities of religious and ethnic strife within the country.
