The Kuta bomb that touching happened in October 2002, bashed without the
Balinese pardon and the world of his tour.
The modern Balinese history showed
that without the occurrence of the tragedy although, the impact of tourism was
increasingly flowing in the other emergence of excesses that not increased the
level of the life but precisely influence the quality of the social life and the
Balinese environment
With his endurance and his creativity that extraordinary high as being
pointed out by his history, Pringle optimistic that Bali will always be able to
rise with the note, when the awareness of the history and Balinese's culture as
part of his asset still was continuing to be maintained.
Thinking that was based by the upper concern the Kuta bomb, Bali, in the last
three years of course the part most valuable from Pringle discussions and to
meditation most was relevant to Bali after second bomb.
These discussions were revealed clearly and explicitly in the chapter 10 Bali
the Age 21: the New Challenge including Terrorism, as well as the end chapter of
Some Cover Thinking (the matter 227-230).
The look method that was offered by Pringle in his book clear will make
Hanna's argumentation become obsolete appearance.
However like that, actually Hanna's book also still was relevant to several
reasons.
When rising was the classic source spoke England the only one reveal the
Balinese past that long fully details and nuances.
Possibly did not have even one issues about Bali after that that neglectful
reconcile him?
Two famous anthropologists, Clifford Geertz and James A the Boom, made use of
information and Hanna's views for their monumental research that afterwards the
day was part of the current dissemination our knowledge would Bali.
Although afterwards also was unproven, Hanna's efforts expressed the concern
through the debate ”culture versus tourism” for the Balinese future in a manner
indirectly became the inspiration that made us aware so that always questioned
while look for the best solution for the Balinese problem other that
increasingly the day increasingly the complex, that including being the
emergence of the terrorism threat in Bali.
Must be remembered that the publication of the Pringle book with all the
expressions, the new element, and the concern would the Balinese future that was
based on essence of the culture and the history him was part of the synthesis of
the knowledge tradition that in part was pioneered by Hanna.
That was the reason Hanna's book was regarded as latest by the work of the
standard that still often must be viewed by the Balinese expert even.
When Hanna gave Balinese history bases classic him that in the eyes of Bali
clear pride assets were valuable, the Pringle book that apparently more could
inspire us for the search for accurate methods how actually brought the Balinese
future that was based by front problems of the appearance eyes more real in the
globalisation era.
They who had an interest in building Bali and wanting to take part in being
involved give the Balinese history direction that took sides with the
community's Balinese goodness in the future apparently must consider well
Hanna's thinking and Pringle that most recorded in the newest issue about Bali.
