Through historical study of village-level participation in the Darul Islam rebellion in West Java and a survey of Sundanese villagers in 1969, Karl Jackson seeks to establish that "traditional authority relations" rather than ideology, aliran, media exposure, socialization into national symbols, economic deprivation or physical isolation are the key to Indonesian peasant political behaviour. Primary and secondary historical sources pertaining to the rebellion are cogently synthesized in the opening chapter, and appendix contains translations of several documents, including a draft constitution for an Indonesian Islamic State.
The final chapters are devoted to more theoretical concerns. And the central concept of traditional authority is defined and differentiated from more materials, opportunistic, and short-term patron-client relations.
