Recenzii

'Riots and Representation uses rich data and careful fieldwork in Indonesia to shed new light on the old problem of ethnic conflict during political transitions. Rather than attributing violence to regime, emotions, or economic grievances, Risa Toha shows convincingly that political actors use violence together with other strategies to seek recognition and accommodation during moments of political change.' Tom Pepinsky, Walter F. LaFeber Professor of Government and Public Policy, Cornell University
'All too often, democratic transitions are accompanied by ethnic violence. Risa Toha persuasively argues and meticulously demonstrates that in Indonesia, the largest country to democratize since the Cold War, transitional violence was less an expression of ethnic hatred than of political voice. Her central lesson that young democracies must quickly build new institutions to secure widespread political inclusion should resonate far beyond Indonesia's shores.' Dan Slater, Ronald and Eileen Weiser Professor of Emerging Democracies, University of Michigan
'Risa Toha offers a satisfyingly straight-forward explanation for ethnic rioting across sub-national districts in Indonesia during democratic transition. Accounting for specific features of Indonesia, Toha's parsimonius explanation generates a surprising number of implications, which are tested using a mix of methodological approaches. In this rich account of Indonesian politics, the author reminds us of the importance of a grounded understanding of local politics. This book offers a framework that likely will elucidate sub-national variation of ethnic political rioting across many other ethnically diverse political transitions.' Jóhanna Kristín Birnir, Professor, Department of Government and Politics, University of Maryland
'What causes inter-group violence in Indonesia and other transitional democracies? Showing why explanations often derived from other institutional contexts just don't work, Risa Toha's new book convincingly demonstrates that violence in Indonesia has been the tactic of local and excluded political groups. The good news, though, is that various tactics of political inclusion have been effective in reducing violence once it breaks out. A must read for all those interested in Indonesia, and in the broader causes of ethnic violence.' Steven Wilkinson, Nilekani Professor of India and South Asian Studies, Yale University
