Description

New in paperback

Human rights lawyer Yap Thiam Hien's (1913-1989) ethnic Chinese roots spurred him to become a courageous defender of the rights of all oppressed Indonesians. In No Concessions, Yap's fascinating story brings modern Indonesian history to life.

Daniel S. Lev (1933Ð2006) was professor of political science at the University of Washington.

"Both Lev and Yap were utterly committed to fundamental reform of Indonesia's legal, political, and moral life. Yap, so reserved in many ways, opened his private thoughts to Dan." --Benedict Anderson, from the Foreword

"This book will inform and inspire a new generation." --Melissa Crouch, Australian Journal of Asian Law
