Kolonialisme, Budaya Cetak, dan Kesastraan Sunda Abad ke-19
by Mikihiro Moriyama (2003)

Originally published in English as A New Spirit: Sundanese Publishing and the Changing Configuration of Writing in Nineteenth Century West Java, the book reseraches the development of Sundanese language and literature. Moriyama emphasises organic, dynamic nature of language and its geography, paying particular attention the Javanese-Sundanese dynamics & “rivalry” and the constraining power of colonial administration in defining the local language & literature.
