[edit] Earlier unsigned item

I removed the following sentence:

Although his thesis in "Imagined Communities" depends upon his work on Latin America, Anderson admits his inability to read Spanish (see "Imagined Communities").

This is inaccurate. In the Preface to the Second Edition he says that while he could not read Spanish in the first edition, he has learned the language since, which has led to some changes in the book (pp. xii-xiii). See also pp. 26-27 for a long passage which he translated from Spanish.

[edit] Indonesia section to expand

The work of Anderson on Indonesia is vital to understand his work - it needs to be included in article like this SatuSuro 13:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
