Review: Updated collection of Willard Hanna's work "Bali Profile" - Bali is being rapidly transformed by the tourism industry and will see a lot of cultural change driven by Western visitors over the next few decades. I was on vacation in Bali and got this book to learn more about this beautiful island. Most of the information were gathered from the colonial-era Dutch archives. The book primarily focuses on the last 500 years of the island, but has a short introduction about the earlier centuries when the first peoples landed. It was definitely an interesting read.
Review: Bali, a foreign country - An old-fashioned but quite interesting book about Balis history. Seen a bit from a European perspective, but perhaps it is because of the lack of sources.

*by C***Z on September 21, 2017*

An old-fashioned but quite interesting book about Balis history. Seen a bit from a European perspective, but perhaps it is because of the lack of sources.
