Between Dayak and Dutch: The Economic History of Southeast Kalimantan 1880-1942

---

J Thomas Lindblad

The author's research covers about three-quarters of the island of Borneo under Dutch control, equivalent roughly to the modern provinces of Kalimantan Timur and Kalimantan Selatan. The period chosen for research was one of rapid change, when the population increased from approximately three-quarters of a million at the turn of the century to nearly twice that at the time of the Japanese invasion. The main spur for the change was a concerted push to exploit the natural resources of this heavily forested region. Very Good Hardback. 282 pages with a bibliography and index.
