The Domestication of Desire: Women, Wealth, and Modernity in Java
Suzanne April Brenner
Focuses on Laweyan, a production center of batik textiles that had embraced modernity under Dutch colonial rule, only to fend off the modernizing forces of Indonesia during the twentieth century. This book portrays a merchant enclave clinging to its forms of social life and highlights the power of women in the marketplace and the home.
