Presents a study of the people of Aru, an archipelago in eastern Indonesia. This title focuses on the fraught identification of Aruese people with two imaginary elsewheres - the 'Aru' and the 'Malay' - and the fissured construction of community that has ensued from centuries of active international trade and encroachments of modernity.
