Robert Holmgren wrote:Your experiences in Indonesia deserves a book (I still remember your post about Pak Kasim!). Not to mention your brillian essay about the past and present of slavery. Believe, Robert, you are a character! (Excuse my spanglish: what I mean is you are like the main character of a good novel). I would like to read your autobiography.I'm a little reticent to talk about this, because -- well, I don't know why, it isn't PC ("politically correct"). But for a year, I lived in a real, existing, nowadays, slaveholding society, on an island in eastern Indonesia (east Sumba). Technically (i.e. in Jakarta), it's illegal -- but if you've ever been to eastern Indonesia, forget technicalities. Tradition rules.All my respect, Manuel Castelao
