496 Matthew Isaac Cohen's evocative social history situates the Komedie Stamboel in the culture of empire and in late nineteenth-century itinerant entertainment. He shows how the theater was used as a symbol of cross-ethnic integration in postcolonial Indonesia and as an emblem of Eurasian cultural accomplishment by Indische Nederlanders. A pioneering study of nineteenth-century Southeast Asian popular culture, The Komedie Stamboel gives a new picture of the region's arts and culture and explores the interplay of currents in global culture, theatrical innovation, and movement in colonial Indonesia. </p><strong style='display: block;'><a onclick='javascript:openTab('edreviews')' href='#TABS' class='left-arrow-small'>More Reviews and Recommendations</a></strong><h3>Biography</h3><p>Matthew Isaac Cohen is senior lecturer in Drama and Theatre Studies at Royal Holloway University of London.
