An old review from The American Journal of Sociology is inserted in the book.
The geographer author visits the Dutch East Indies and observes the rulers and the ruled.
He posits many disproven theories of race and the social values of the Javanese.
4 stars for quality entertainment, obviously not for accuracy of content, or sensitivity to diversity. It is available on Googlebooks. I highly recommend at least reading the introduction. Priceless!
