The Dark Side of Paradise" is an attempt to put the politics back into Bali's 20th-century history. Exploring both Indonesian and Dutch sources, Geoffrey Robinson analyzes the class tensions between aristocrats and commoners during the late colonial period. This work demolishes the fiction of the "peaceful Balinese" that pervades academic and popular literature, and places modern political history directly into the middle of Balinese scholarship.
