Synopsis

In this innovative volume, Anto Mohsin brings Indonesian studies together with science and technology studies to tell the story of the entanglement of nation building and social justice during the state's rapid post-World War II project to supply electricity to the entire country. He shows that attempts to illuminate the country were inseparable from the effort to maintain the new nation-state, chart its path to independence, and legitimize ruling regimes. In exchange for an often dramatically improved standard of living, people gave their votes, and their acquiescence, to the ruling government.
