this book my friend co-edited looks amazing.
"This edited volume highlights the work of a new generation of scholars who have reignited the study of the Indonesian Left, particularly the PKI, across continents and disciplines. It reinterprets the Indonesian Left and its associated organisations not simply as a local and national phenomenon but as a force of global relevance."

You'll see stone lanterns in many Asian gardens & lining pathways & entrances of Buddhist temples. They have a long history.

History of stone lanterns:

#StoneLanterns have been known in #China as early as the Han dynasty (202 BCE–220 CE), and prevailed from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties all the way up to the Tang Dynasty, when they were introduced to #Japan. The earliest known extant stone lantern in China is the Northern Qi (550-577) stone lantern in the remains of Tongzi Temple in Taiyuan, Shanxi. Other early stone lanterns which date from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) remain extant in several temples around China, such as the stone lantern in Faxing Temple in Zhangzi, Shanxi which was built in 773.

I understand that asians profit from anti-Black suffering (proof: https://mastodon.social/@audubonballroon/114111650250527218 ); but I stand for everyone though especially for Black People
