Title: Book Review: Village Java under the Cultivation System 1830–1870: By R.E. Elson

Abstract: The Cultivation System (CS), aimed at spurring the production of export crops on Java, existed for only about forty years, but the image of the colonial experience in Indonesia, both in the popular mind and in historical research, draws heavily on the economic conditions and social relations of the period. R.E. Elson suggests that this emphasis is not misplaced.
