Around the warning three years of the Bali bombing tragedy, in the middle of active efforts although unsteadily constructive degradation the world of Balinese tourism that no longer has been restored as the direct impact of this bomb, we were startled again by the occurrence of the deadly second bali bombing recently.
For some observers, this incident was predicted would make the condition for tourism that was the main backbone of the life of the economy of the Balinese community increasingly was stricken.
More again far, this incident was worried increasingly pinned in fact soldered the violence as the dominant part of the episode of the contemporary history in Bali.
Therefore, apparently hope showed again the book of Willard Hanna as efforts to oppose image the violence that more claimed attention of the world to Bali since this Kuta bomb apparently was difficult to fill his main target.
The book that the first time rose in 1976 with the title Balinese Profile: people, events, circumstances 1001-1976 indeed the draught would the reflection image exotism and Balinese romanticism that became the attraction of his attraction in the era pre the 1970 's.
No one could deny that image Bali that especially, unique, and lived in Bali dozens of length years were important Balinese assets that big his role for the life of his community.
However currently, efforts to restore Bali in the context community social that wider was too naive when exclusively only depend in the focus of the return of the Balinese image like the era the 1970 's that.
Balinese restoration efforts that was continuous, that was based on the space of the real strength of the history, the culture and Balinese was the appropriate urgent answer thoughts sides that wanted looked for the best formulation for the Balinese future. For reasons of this not Hanna's book that was regarded as classic this was still significant his presence.
Long discussions participation the width about actors in tourism (the matter 156-210), for example, always will be useful.
The completeness of details narrative descriptive that was enriched by the statistical data and social information through the projection of tourism definitely was part of the history of the development of Balinese tourism that must be studied as the research base that wider, namely the context of the history culture social Bali.
Nevertheless, in order to be able to detect his place in space contemporary past (the contemporary past) this Bali, this book necessarily was considered together with the work of the Balinese history other that more newer.

The article Robert Pringle, A Short of History of Bali: Indonesia’s Hindu Realm (2004) apparently the appropriate choice for this comparison.
Although being compiled with the understanding, the context, and the different era, the American observer together wrote the two books and together chose to express the concern would the development that happened in Bali.
As has been noticed the Balinese specialist Prof Adrian Vicker in Hanna's book escort (the matter 15-21), the work that covered the Balinese history that stretch since before the 18th age till the 1970 's must be understood in the Indonesian context up to the beginning of the Order Just.
Whereas the Pringle book personally, although also bring the long Balinese history was begun since Bali the bronze time, placed the Balinese history from the perspective of the occurrence of the bomb Kuta Bali 2002.
By producing 2 books subject the culture and the Balinese community that his discussions was withdrawn behind, an understanding of the Balinese history that was full of nuances, deep and holistic apparently really will be very promising.
Divided by above 16 discussion chapters, various views were written about Bali, including concerning important leading figures who lived and progressed in Bali through to the beginning period of the New Order reconsolidate Hanna in his book explicitly.
Although being not equipped by footnotes, the discussion about the Balinese dilemma, discussions about the Great God and the Balinese kings before the 18th age, the strong Westernises influence including also principles back to Balinese completely was explained by his writer with very harmonious.
On the other hand, the writer also stressed the importance of the Gianyar kingdom as well as the sight and the recorder of the view pro-contra Balinese against Soekarno.
This clears a photograph of the interesting recorder for the observer's Balinese historian.

Various episodes of the Balinese history that was created three decades afterwards, where being gotten by the Balinese situation really the New Order, Reform, including Bali post the Kuta bomb 2002, of course was apart from the range of Hanna's book.
Here the main role of the presence of the Pringle book that consisted of 11 chapters.

Emerge come not only equipped, he also ”update” contemporary Balinese rumours that for us canned be heard more were relevant to the recently Balinese problem.
When Hanna accused the practice of tourism as taros of conservation of the Balinese culture of the emergence of the impact of the negative (the matter 7), Pringle precisely regarded that the threat from and the fear would the practice of tourism that was connected with the aspect of the culture of the negative in Bali as the view that really did not have a basis.
As also has been shown him by the predecessor, Michel Picard in Cultural tourism and touristy culture (1996), the aspect of Balinese tourism precisely gave the identity of the special culture, unique, and important, main him bring up renesans for the Balinese culture.
The importance of tourism for Bali did not stop there then.

Most Balinese experts other also agreed that tourism placed the Balinese position and Balinese became so important in the depths of national politics of the life arena.
The success of the tourism strategy in Bali so the contribution that could be imitated other areas in Indonesia that still drawn looked for sources of the improvement of economics for his community.

For Pringle, main rumours of the impact of Balinese tourism not were located in the culture, but more to the corner of the ecology and the environment.
Identified by him clearly the dilemma that was dealt with Bali in an effort to make use of the wealth and his potential continuously.
Convincingly was pointed out that poverty of the awareness of the management of the two aspects in fact has influence the quality of the life of Balinese apart from external factors other.
This will be a serious impact in the future that in a manner indirectly determined the history direction of the Balinese community personally. (continued)
