For Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, the years 2000-2002 were characterized by a painful and rocky transition to democracy, as well as by the difficult aftermath of 9/11. For Marta Hoilman, living in Jakarta during this time not only meant dealing with the ramifications of such historic events, but also meant grappling with the often maddening, frequently funny, and sometimes terrifying challenges of expatriate life in a developing country.

Just how do you maintain a low profile while being several heads taller and several shades blonder than the local population? What type of shoe is best to kill an Asian cockroach the size of a D battery? And what forces are behind the Great Fresca Drought?

The tales in Adventures in Indonesia chronicle with humor and generosity of spirit the follies, foibles and joys of expatriate life in Indonesia from presidential impeachment, to earthquakes and floods, through evacuation and familial separation.

This book was written to draw the attention of its readers to the increasing social, economic, and political predicament of African nations. Traditionally, in addressing African problems the western media has focused on such areas as war, famine, and disease, but has devoted little or no time to internal issues and conflicts. Usually by the time the western media covers such news, it is too late. Many people still remember the Biafran quagmire and the millions of lives lost in that war. More recently, the genocide in Rwanda happened under the watchful eyes of the international community. The territorial integrity of Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa, is being threatened by ethnic conflicts, but of greater significance is the threat from religious fundamentalism.Over the past five years tens of thousands of Nigerians have died in senseless riots, most of which have religious connotations. Nigeria: One Nation Two Systems chronicles many such riots and also examines some cases of Shria convictions, mostly of poor women charged with such offenses as adultery or having a baby outside of marriage. While Nigeria remains a secular and democratic entity, some disgruntled politicians have found ways to instigate trouble between Muslims and Christians who have lived in harmony for generations. While the focus of this book is on Nigeria, lessons learnt here also apply to many other nations in Africa..
