ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This volume is the outcome of a workshop on ''The Indonesian City Revisited" orga­
nized by the Research Association Urban Development in Developing Countries
(WUOO) and hold in 1993 in Leiden under the auspices of the CNWS, the Leiden
School for Asian, African and Amerindian Studies. I thank both these organizations
for their support. I also most grateful to Dr. Freek Colombijn and the staff of
am
Excerpta Indonesica of the Royal Institute of Linguistics and Anthropology (KITL V)
for the help rendered in compiling the bibliography which is included in this volume
and especially to Mrs. Rosemary Robson and Dr. Willem Vogelsang for their kind
advise on matters of translation and publication.
The editor.
