Question
A dissertation based on fieldwork in this island’s village of Kajar (“kuh-JAR”), which argues that underdevelopment was the result of a lack of capital rather than cultural differences with the West, was posthumously published as the book Surviving against the Odds. Ann Dunham’s work with metalworkers on this island inspired her to create a microfinance model to help rural artisans. A chapter on “Conflict and Integration” in a 1960 book about this island calls the Rijaja (“ree-yah-YAH”) holiday a “master symbol” for its culture. A communal feast on this island called the slametan (“slah-muh-TAHN”) is analyzed in that book, which divides the title phenomenon into abangan (“ah-bung-UN”), santri (“SAHN-tree”), and prijaji (“pree-yah-YEE”) variants. This island’s “religion” titles a book by Clifford Geertz, whose work here informed the majority of his book Islam Observed. For 10 points, name this island that yielded the type specimen for Homo erectus. ■END■
