	Australian Journal of Anthropology, The: Remaking Maluku - Social Transformation in Eastern Indonesia - Review
		There are few anthropological volumes dealing exclusively with the Indonesian province of Maluku; fewer still that deliberately distance themselves from the influence of the 'Field of Anthropological Study' (FAS) approach associated with Leiden structuralism and its concern with 'Eastern Indonesia'.

		Despite this, Remaking Maluku remains a topical collection of papers addressing relevant aspects of contemporary processes in a region seldom appearing alone as a focus of anthropological interest.
