Online Issue 8.10

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the Fall 2006 issue of Antara Kita.  Once again, I would also like to thank those of you who have taken the time to contribute to Antara Kita.  Your efforts help make Antara Kita an important forum where scholars of Indonesia from around the world can keep up-to-date on Indonesia and East Timor. As in the past, we welcome short articles, current books and other media for review, letters from scholars currently doing research in Indonesia and East Timor, educational and employment opportunities, announcements of upcoming professional meetings, and links to other sites that might be of interest to scholars and others who have a special interest in Indonesia and East Timor.

Several years ago, we decided to convert our now-dated Directory of Indonesia Scholars to a flexible database. We are continuing to work on this and hope to have it completed soon.  In the meantime, please check your entry in the Directory and send us any changes you would like us to make.  If you are not listed and would like to be, please let us know that as well.

We will continue the practice, begun in 2003, in which all Articles and Reviews are dated as per their date of first placement on the website. In cases where an Article or Review is later modified (updated), the date of its most recent update will be added. Meetings and Events and Educational and Job Opportunities will continue to be added when received and deleted once past.

If you know of a book, film, or other media that you would like to see reviewed or review yourself (you get to keep it books!), please contact:

Ian Parker, Antara Kita Book Review Editor, Asian Cultural History Program - Smithsonian, NHB Rm. 311; MRC 112, PO Box 37012, Washington, DC 20013-7012,USA

Don't forget to check out "Resources for Researchers!" where you will find the latest edition of "What's Up on the Web" by Elizabeth Coville.  Appearing every two weeks, the current column is at the top of the page, and all the archived earlier ones are clickable at the bottom.

We are highly gratified at the response to Antara Kita on-line. Please continue to let others know about Antara Kita. We want Antara Kita to increasingly serve the needs of scholars and others interested in Indonesia and East Timor. To do so, we need YOUR input, so keep us posted on items of mutual interest.

Wassalam,
