Sinopsis

This is devinitive history of Dutch colonial literature set in Indonesia, now available in a handy paperback edition. The author discusses a wide range of work from fiction to natural history, religious sermons, pamphlets and the accounts of travelers from the seventeenth through to the twentieth  century.

What emerges from this comprehensive approach is an unusually through an sensitive account of the many and varied encounters of the Dutch with the Indonesian peoples that they conquered and ruled for more than 300 years. Holland and Indonesia were never the same again, and the fascinating interaction of these widely differing cultures is mirrored in an extensive literature that was rarely studied prior to Nieuwenhuys’ important book.
