Yet despite instant name recognition in Indonesia, there has never been a full biography of the prince's life and times based on Dutch and Javanese sources. 'The power of prophecy' is a major study which sets Dipanagara's life history against the context of the turbulent events of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century when the full force of European imperialism hit Indonesia like an Asian tsunami destroying forever Java's 'old order' and propelling the twin forces of Islam and Javanese national identity into a fatal confrontation with the Dutch. This confrontation known as the Java War, in which Dipanagara was defeated and exiled, marked the beginning of the modern colonial period in Indonesia which lasted until the Japanese occupation of 1942-1945. The book presents a detailed analysis of Dipanagara's pre-war visions and aspirations as a Javanese Ratu Adil ('Just King') based on extensive reading of his autobiography, the Babad Dipanagara as well as a number of other Javanese sources. Dutch and British records, in particularly the Residency Archives of Yogyakarta and Surakarta currently kept in the Indonesian National Archives, provide the backbone of this scholarly work. The book will be read with profit by all those interested in the rise of Western colonial rule in Indonesia, the fate of indigenous cultures in an age of imperialism and the role of Javanese Islam in modern Indonesian history. Peter Carey, Laithwaite tutor in History at Trinity College, Oxford, has made a lifetime study of Dipanagara and the history of early nineteenth century Java. His many works include the two-volume Archive of Yogyakarta (1980, 2000), The British in Java, 1811-1816; A Javanese account (1992) and Babad Dipanagara; An account of the outbreak of the Java War (1825-1830) (1981). He is one of Britain's foremost historians of Southeast Asia and has also published on Cambodia, Burma and East Timor. 600 00 Dipanegara,|cPangeran,|d1785-1855. 650 0 Princes|zIndonesia|zJava|vBiography. 650 7 Humanities.|2bicssc 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General.|2bisacsh 651 0 Java (Indonesia)|xHistory. 653 0 1785/1855 653 0 Biographies 653 0 Charisma 653 0 Colonial history 653 0 Indonesia 653 0 Java War 653 0 Javanese 653 0 Jawa 653 0 Netherlands 653 0 Princes 653 0 Sultanates 653 0 Traditional leadership 653 0 Yogyakarta 914 on1030815022 994 92|bCKE
