"... the main strength of Activist Archives is that it raises important questions by not providing all the answers. In this way, it invites frequent re-reading, creating a richer understanding of the micropolitics of student activism upon each re-read." — Yatun Sastramidjaja, Contemporary Southeast Asia

"Lee has produced an exemplary study of the under-researched field of the everyday life of Indonesian politics and its forefront agent of change." — Kharisma Nugroho, Journal of Applied Youth Studies

"Lee has produced an exemplary study of the under-researched field of the everyday life of Indonesian politics and its forefront agent of change." —Kharisma Nugroho, Journal of Applied Youth Studies

"Elegantly written, rich with ethnographic and archival material, and bursting with theoretical insights, Activist Archives offers novel analysis of one of the most important subjects of contemporary Indonesia. In Doreen Lee's sensitive ethnography the student activist emerges expressing a mix of fiery passion, intellectual idealism, irreverent playfulness, hipster self-consciousness, nostalgia, rivalry, and disillusionment. Artfully tacking between theory and the activists' everyday experiences, Lee shows how 'generation 98' has both sustained its identity and faded in relevance. Activist Archives will be a classic." — Karen Strassler, author of, Refracted Visions: Popular Photography and National Modernity in Java

"Following the students through the city's streets, highways, dormitories, cafes, and other city spaces, Doreen Lee brings Jakarta to life, and what she tells us is truly enlightening. Activist Archives makes a significant contribution to Indonesian studies and to the study of youth activism in the world generally." — Rudolf Mrázek, author of, A Certain Age: Colonial Jakarta through the Memories of Its Intellectuals
