1This paper is written to mark a long acquaintance with Paul Alexander which began when I arrived to stay at his home in Sydney in February 1983 en route from Auckland to begin a PhD at The Australian National University in Canberra. At the time I knew noone in Australia, and Paul and Jenny demonstrated extraordinary generosity in providing hospitality on that and subsequent visits to Sydney. I owe Paul a further great debt for his enthusiastic support of my research, both during that first visit — when I was still struggling to visualise an unknown place called Indonesia — and since. Paul's work is marked by his suspicion of grand theory and his concern that explanation arise from ethnographic detail. This paper shares those features, although that will probably not stop Paul from disagreeing with some of its conclusions! I am grateful to Barry Hindess for his thoughtful comments on successive drafts of the paper
