THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR: Understanding Indonesia
Published by University of Western Australia Press

How should Australians react to the world’s most populous Muslim nation? In this book Walkley-award winning journalist Duncan Graham crosses the cultural divide to probe the way Indonesians live, work and interact. The tales he unearths from city slum-dwellers, shopkeepers, beleaguered householders, teachers, writers, political malcontents and many others are funny and sad, incisively revealing and refreshingly accessible.

‘The People Next Door is a book that will open eyes. Its insights into the lives of ordinary Indonesians, their beliefs and aspirations, will give business people and many others a deeper understanding of a complex society. The reward will be a richer bonding with a vibrant northern neighbour.’
Janet Holmes a Court AO, former Pro Chancellor the University of western Australia.

‘Duncan Graham writes with a deep knowledge drawn from his personal experiences about the complexities inherent in Indonesian, especially Javanese, culture and society. As he concludes, the Indonesian way is not our way but it is worthy of our study, respect and understanding.’
Richard Woolcott AC, Founding Director of the Asia Society and former Ambassador to Indonesia.
