‘LEKRA represents the first sustained attempt in modern Indonesian history to address what has been one of the major themes of world-wide intellectual and cultural history since the mid-nineteenth century. It was the first organisational response in Indonesia to the question of the relationship between a commitment to social and political change and the practice of art and literature’ (p.201).
