Dans l'archipel des Moluques, les îles Kei sont encore mal connues. A l'extrémité sud-ouest du groupe se trouve Tanebar-Evav, une petite île où vit une société de moins de mille personnes. Ici comme dans d'autres régions d'Indonésie, la maison est l'unité sociale fondamentale, le foyer et l'acteur de toutes les relations. Les maisons sont parties prenantes et donnantes dans tous les événements sociaux: mariages, funérailles, rituels saisonniers et occasionnels, et s'entraident en toute chose. Entourant les maisons, l'espace du village est fortement structuré, avec ses murs d'enceinte, ses portes, ses places, ses lieux marqués par les mythes des origines. Il est de plus imprégné de deux conceptions distinctes et complémentaires de la société, vue d'un côté dans ses lois internes et sa particularité - haratut -, de l'autre dans sa relation au dehors et à la loi universelle - lór. Cette double référence articule tous les niveaux de l'organisation sociale qui combine dans une structure complexe des traits relatifs à la filiation et à l'aînesse d'une part, à l'alliance asymétrique et à la relation frère-soeur de l'autre. Dans ce système, les maisons constituent les unités concrètes d'un ordre immédiat et permanent au nom duquel se maintient une société attachée à son identité, mais animée aussi par une très ancienne et profonde relation au monde et à l'histoire. The islands of Kei in the Moluccan archipelago are little known. This is a study of one of them - Tanebar-Evav - a small isolated island of fewer than 1000 inhabitants, situated at the south-west end of the archipelago. Cécile Barraud has carried out an intensive study of this small community, and has made a detailed analysis of its social organisation. Here, as in other parts of Indonesia, the fundamental social unit is the house, which is the agent and the focal point of all social relations. The houses are partners of exchange in all social events: marriages, funerals, seasonal rituals and others. They are…

Given the brutality of mass atrocities, it is no wonder that one question dominates research and policy: what can we, who are not at risk, do to prevent such violence and hasten endings? But this question skips a more fundamental question for understanding the trajectory of violence: how do mass atrocities actually end? This volume presents an analysis of the processes, decisions, and factors that help bring about the end of mass atrocities. It includes qualitatively rich case studies from Burundi, Guatemala, Indonesia, Sudan, Bosnia, and Iraq, drawing patterns from wide-ranging data. As such, it offers a much needed correction to the popular 'salvation narrative' framing mass atrocity in terms of good and evil. The nuanced, multidisciplinary approach followed here represents not only an essential tool for scholars, but an important step forward in improving civilian protection.

An obvious hiatus amidst the abundance of Pacific War studies is the story of Indonesia during that period. The Encyclopedia of Indonesia in the Pacific War, edited under the aegis of the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation, now fills that gap. This state of the art work reflects the different experiences and historiographic traditions of Indonesians, Japanese, and Dutch. The aim is to present the developments in the Indonesian archipelago in as much a rational and dispassionate way as possible, taking into account regional and social variations and interpreting them within the international context of pre- and post-war trends. With due acknowledgement of different perspectives, ambiguities, unresolved issues and conflicting views, it sets out to enhance mutual understanding and academic dialogue.
