What is it about?
This extended comment attempts to balance two very similar critical reviews of Leonard Andaya's, The World of Maluku (1993), both by Chris van Fraassen, who published an authoritative ethnography of Ternate in Dutch in 1987. Since too few historians work on eastern Indonesia, the appearance of profound conflict between these two authorities needed to be placed in a context for the non-specialist.
