The Balinese People: A Reinvestigation of Character

By Luh Ketut Suryani and Gordon D. Jensen

Book Overview

A critique of Gregory Bateson's and Margaret Mead's Balinese Character (which still stands as the definitive reference on Balinese culture and personality), this work studies anew the original issues of the character of the Balinese. The authors present alternative formulations of psycho-social aspects of this culture in an attempt to establish a more valid portrayal of Balinese life.
