[Marxism] An important development on the Indonesian left

Peter Boyle’s curious intervention on Marxmail

Bob Gould

Over the past week or so Max Lane has put on his own longstanding blog 
at Sydney University, and more recently on Marxmail, one of his periodic 
accounts of developments on the left in Indonesia.

Max is no ordinary observer of Indonesia, but the major translator of 
the novelist Pramoedya Ananta Toer, and an important promoter of Toer’s 
works in the English-speaking world.

In the course of his work as an academic specialising in Indonesia he 
has spent long periods in Indonesia and some time in East Timor. To sum 
up, he’s the Australian left expert on Indonesia.
