- Summary:
- This former Dutch colony developed a sensational image as an unspoiled island paradise between the two world wars. Tourism thrived under the Dutch, but the Balinese people seemed to have gained little from it prior to the Japanese occupation. The reasons for Bali's popularity among Westerners and the effects on native culture are explored.
