Howard Dick/Vincent Houben/Thomas Lindblad/Thee Kian Wie
The emergence of a national economy: An economic history of Indonesia, 1800-2000.
KITLV Press: Leiden 2002.
Paperback, 304 Seiten.
ISBN 90-6718-192-7

History matters. At the beginning of a new century and amidst the turmoil of a new democracy, a historical perspective on modern Indonesia is needed more than ever. This innovative economic history connects back to the colonial era and helps to explain why the transition from colonialism to Independence and from the New Order to democracy has been so difficult and sometimes traumatic.
The Emergence of a National Economy identitifies three grand themes in this transformation: globalisation, state formation and economic integration. Globalisation affected the Indonesian archipelago even before the arrival of the Dutch - the New Order experience was only the most recent wave. Modern state formation began in Java under Governor-General Daendels (1808-11) and culminated in the centralised, military-bureaucratic state of Soeharto's New Order (1966-98). A national economy emerged gradually from the 1930s as the Outer Islands were reoriented towards an industrialising Java.
These three themes link chronological chapters from the pre 1800 period through the modern colonial era to the breakdown of the colonial system after 1930, the birth of modern Indonesia, the remarkable economic transformation under the New Order, and the 'meltdown' during the Asian crisis of 1997/98. This overarching story gives a unity and rythm to Indonesia's modern history, while helping to explain why the future is likely to be different.
The four authors - senior scholars from Australia (Howard Dick), Germany (Vincent Houben), the Netherlands (Thomas Lindblad) and Indonesia (Thee Kian Wie) - draw on a very wide range of sources to combine the insights of history, economic history and economics.

Gerry van Klinken
Minorities, Modernity and the Emerging Nation - Christians in Indonesia, A Biographical Approach.
KITLV Press: Leiden 2003.
Peperback, xii, 285 Seiten.
ISBN 90-6718-151-X

This book examines the development of Indonesian nationalism from the viewpoint of a minority – the urban Christian elite. Placed between the Indonesian nationalist promise of freedom and the (equally Christian) Dutch colonial promise of modernity, their experience of late colonialism was filled with dilemma and ambiguity. Rather than describe dry institutions, this study traces the lives of five politically active Indonesian Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, spanning the late colonial, Japanese occupation and early independence periods: Amir Sjarifoeddin, Bishop Soegijapranata, Kasimo, Moelia and Ratu Langie. For most of them the main problem was not so much the protest against colonialism, but the transition to more modern forms of political community. Their status as a religious minority, and as urban middle class 'migrants' out of their traditional communities, made them more aware that achieving moral consensus was problematic.
This book should be of interest to students of Indonesian history, as well as those studying the history of Third World nationalism and the history of Christian missions.
Gerry van Klinken taught science at universities in Malaysia and Indonesia between 1979 and 1991. Since then he has taught and conducted research at a number of Australian universities. At present he is a researcher at KITLV.
What the reviewers say:
‘This is the best work I have read on Indonesian colonial politics as seen through the eyes of ethnic and/ or religious minorities... It is the kind of carefully contextualised intellectual history that needs to be written on Indonesia.’ (Prof. John Ingleson, University of New South Wales)
‘I have enjoyed reading this thesis more than any for some time. It is both extremely well researched and exceptionally well written. It revisits the Indonesian nationalist movement, which had seemed in danger of being rendered stale and stereotypical by the black/ white categories of nationalist historiography, and brings it back to life in a biographical approach full of ambivalence and inner tension.’ (Prof. Anthony Reid, Australian National University)

The origins of islamic reformism in Southeast Asia - Networks of Malay-Indonesian and middle eastern ‘ulama’ in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
KITLV Press / Allen & Unwin 2004.
Paperback, ix, 254 Seiten.
ISBN 90-6718-2281-1

Islamic renewal and reformism is an ongoing process which is commonly thought to have started only in the twentieth century. Professor Azra’s meticulous study, using sources from the Middle East itself, shows how scholars in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were reconstructing the intellectual and socio-moral foundation of Muslim societies. Drawing on Arabic biographic dictionaries which have never before been analyzed or used as research materials, Professor Azra illuminates a previously inaccessible period of history to show the development of the Middle Eastern heritage in the Indonesian archipelago.
The reader can trace the formation and expression of Indonesian Islam and the adaptation of the Arabic intellectualism into recognizably Indonesian idioms. For the first time we have a description of the actual process of localization, a process of interest to historians, anthropologists and sociologists, and also a subject of intense contemporary relevance.
Azyumardi Azra is one of Indonesia’s leading academics and is President of the prestigious State Islamic University of Jakarta. He has published many books on contemporary Islam and is a regular writer for Indonesian newspapers and journals. He is also a noted commentator on Indonesian Islam and politics for the Indonesian and international media.

Multiple centres of authority - Society and environment in Siak and Eastern Sumatra, 1674-1827.
KITLV Press, Leiden 2003.
Paperback, xvi, 206 Seiten.
ISBN 90-6718-219-2

Offering access to an extensive and resource-rich hinterland, eastern Sumatra was an important trading region between the Melaka Straits and the Minangkabau highlands of Sumatra prior to colonial rule. Traditionally under the control of Johor, the various communities in eastern Sumatra were united under the leadership of an adventurer named Raja Kecik in the early eighteenth century and formed an independent community along the Siak River. Over the next century Raja Kecik and his descendents attempted to gain control over the trade that flowed through the Straits, while keeping the numerous communities within their territories united by means of marriage alliances, warfare, raiding, trade, and myth. By the end of the eighteenth century the ‘multiple centres of authority’ that constituted Siak represented the dominant Malay community in the Straits of Melaka, only to fall into decline due to the rise of British trading communities in Singapore and Penang.
This book, based on VOC (Dutch East Indies Company) archives and traditional Malay texts, examines the rise of a ‘Malay’ state in the early modern era. It focuses on the ecological frontier of eastern Sumatra, with its multi-ethnic communities, and how they were able to transform themselves, in the words of an English visitor, into ‘a summit of prosperity’ by the end of the eighteenth century. Particular emphasis is placed on the methods used by Siak leaders used unite the disparate communities in the region, and how this was viewed in other Malay communities.
Timothy P. Barnard, who has worked extensively in eastern Sumatra, is an assistant professor in the Department of History at the National University of Singapore.

The Leiden Legacy - Concepts of law in Indonesia
KITLV Press, Leiden 2004.
Paperback, xvi, 269 Seiten.
ISBN 90-6718-175-7

The Dutch colonial power in Indonesia in the nineteenth century needed to clarify its understanding of the legal values and conventions of the peoples whom it claimed to rule. Dutch colonial lawyers tended to rationalize this legal culture, lumping together all kinds of indigenous legal customs from different areas as manifestations of adatrecht, or customary law. The status of this legal system vis-à-vis Dutch colonial law was a source of continual debate and disagreement. The champions of adatrecht, known as the Leiden School, with C. van Vollenhoven in the forefront, scored a victory around 1927 when adatrecht gained official recognition, though on the other hand it became the subject of mounting criticism. After World War II, the independent state of Indonesia paid lip service to adatrecht principles, but in practice treated it as irrelevant, or even an embarrassment.
Peter Burns, a retired Australian academic, describes the debate and analyses the rise, development, and fall of the concept of adatrecht , which is so closely connected with the Leiden University and the KITLV

Catholics in Indonesia, 1808-1903 - A documented history, volume 1
KITLV Press, Leiden 2004.
Paperback, xviii, 534 Seiten
ISBN 90-6718-141-2

This first of two volumes documents the history of the Roman Catholic Church in Indonesia from 1808, when, after two centuries, priests were again allowed in the Dutch colony, until 1903, when the the number of Catholics, only 27,000 at the time, started to grow spectacularly.
The story of slow growth among the indigenous population, with many setbacks, is illustrated by 98 documents, which are included in their complete format and original language (mostly Dutch). Half of the book contains a lenghty introduction in which the history of Catholic missionary effort is spelled out, with, of course, a lot of attention for the islands where the Catholic clergy was actively engaged in proselytizing. This introduction is the first survey in English on the subject.
Karel Steenbrink has written extensively on Islam in Indonesia, where he taught for a number of years. He is now affiliated with the Interuniversity Institute of Missiological and Ecumenical Research in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Weathering the Storm
The Economics of Southeast Asia in the 1930s Depression
ISEAS: Singapore 2000 & KITLV Press: Leiden 2000.
Paperback, 332 Seiten.

The principal cause of the 1930s depression in Southeast Asia lay outside the region - through a sharp contraction in demand for the region's major commodity exports. But it had important internal causes, too: an oversupply of primary commodities and an increasing scarcity of new agricultural land leading to higher rents and lower wages, rising indebtedness and increasing landlessness. This work thoroughly analyses the pre-war depression. It also looks at the changes in the basic structures of the economies of Southeast Asia that were of long-term importance, such as the role of the state in the economy. The authors also draw similarities and contrasts between the 1930s depression and the 1990s Asian crisis.

A Modern History of South East Asia - Decolonization, Nationalism and Seperatism.

Hardcover mit Schutzumschlag, xii, 286 Seiten.
ISBN 1-85043-997-4
EUR 58,00 / SONDERPREIS EUR 25,00 gilt nur für Online-Bestellungen.

The massive transformations that occurred in the decade 1940-50 were decisive in shaping the modern history of Southeast Asia, and have determined the course of politics in the region right up to the present day.
The 1940s saw the break-up of the European colonial empires in Southeast Asia and the creation of independent nation states. However, this nationalist revolution met resistance, not only from the colonial powers, but also from peripheral communities and regions that felt their identity to be threatened by these emerging nation-states and by the ideologies dominating Asian nationalism. A number of secession movements developed and separatist rebellions broke out and, although no movement achieved its objectives, some were resurrected during the Cold War when the region came to be seen as a key strategic zone.

TABLE OF CONTENTS:
Part 1 Decolonization, separatism and loyalties: stranded by the tide - the Straits Chinese of Penang; anatomy of a betrayal - the Karens of Burma; loyalism and "Special War" - Montagnards of Vietnam; defining "Self-Determination" - the Republic of Indonesia vs the South Moluccan Republic.
Part 2 National identity - decolonization and separatism in the Muslim regions of Southeast Asia: Islam, ethnicity and separatism in Southeast Asia; nationalism and the "House of Islam" - the Acehnese revolt and the Republic of Indonesia; at the frontier of the Islamic world - the Arakanese Muslims; ethnicity, Islam and Irredentism - the Malays of Patani. Appendices: the Straits Chinese Memorandum; the Karen Memorial; the Montagnard Declaration; Declaration of Independence of the South Moluccas - 25 April 1950; manifesto of the Atjeh Rebels (1953, selections); Patani petition.

Koloniaal dodenkabinet
KITLV Press, Leiden 2003.
Paperback, 228 Seiten.
ISBN 90-6718-212-5

De wereldgeschiedenis wordt wel beschreven als een lange aaneenschakeling van gewelddadigheden. Bezien vanuit deze eenzijdige invalshoek vormt de Nederlandse koloniale geschiedenis bepaald geen uitzondering. Onthutst verhaalden de eerste ontdekkingsreizigers en kolonisten over de gewelddadige gewoontes die zij aantroffen in wat spoedig Nederlandse bezittingen zouden zijn. Om die kolonisatie mogelijk te maken en vervolgens hun macht blijvend te vestigen, namen zij vervolgens hun toevlucht tot ‘legitiem geweld’ dat niet zelden neerkwam op brute onderdrukking. In een dertigtal fragmenten geeft Koloniaal dodenkabinet een beeld van deze geschiedenis. We lezen hoe pioniers als Padtbrugge en Valentijn met afschuw berichten over koppensnellerij en kannibalisme in de Molukken en Minahasa, hoe het koloniaal gezag meedogenloos slavenopstanden in Suriname en Curaçao onderdrukt en ten koste van enorme verliezen onder de nieuwe onderdanen buitengewesten als Bali en Atjeh onderwerpt, hoe voortdurend verzet en de twintigste-eeuwse onafhankelijkheidsstrijd nieuw geweld oproept. Daarnaast zijn er verhalen opgenomen over de soms wrede natuur, die met aardbevingen, vulkaanuitbarstingen, wilde dieren en vreselijke ziektes talloze slachtoffers maakt. Ook wordt er verhaald van wilde pogroms, van crimes passionels en van publieke berechtingen van vermeende misdadigers. Vrijwel alle verhalen zijn ontleend aan ooggetuigenverslagen of ten minste in de tijd zelf opgeschreven documenten. Daarnaast zijn fragmenten uit de mondelinge overlevering opgenomen. Slechts een enkel fragment is ontleend aan fictie. In alle gevallen geldt dat de fragmenten mede zijn uitgekozen op hun leesbaarheid voor een 21ste-eeuwer. Zo is Koloniaal dodenkabinet een even huiveringwekkend als leesbaar memento geworden voor drieëneenhalve eeuw Nederlandse aanwezigheid in ‘Oost en West’.

L. de Jong
The collapse of a colonial society - The Dutch in Indonesia during the Second World War
KITLV Press, Leiden 2002.
Hardcover, xii, 517 Seiten.
ISBN 90-6718-203-6

This is the first book to offer a thorough English-language study on the vicissitudes of the Dutch and Dutch Eurasians during the Japanese occupation of the East Indies. Dutch historian Louis de Jong’s extensive study Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden in de Tweede Wereldoorlog (1969-1988), whose 13 parts were published in 27 volumes and together add up to almost 15,000 pages, is considered to be the standard work on the history of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Second World War. The present book, a translation of chapters 5 through 10 of Part 11b - one of the five volumes on the East Indies - makes a section of De Jong’s magnum opus available to English readers. It presents an impressive account of the experiences of the Dutch civilians and prisoners of war under the Japanese occupation. An extensive introduction by Jeroen Kemperman sketches the course of events from the arrival of the Dutch in the Indonesian archipelago to the capitulation of the Dutch East Indies in March 1942.
Louis de Jong (1914) studied social geography and history at the University of Amsterdam. In October 1945 he was appointed head of the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation (RIOD). He functioned as its director until his retirement in 1979. De Jong is one of the few nationally renowned Dutch historians.

"DAS LAUB FÄLLT ZUR BAUMWURZEL NIEDER"
Maos Ex-Dolmetscher kehrt nach China zurück
"Ja, ich habe Heimweh" gibt Zhou Chun offen zu, "ich bin doch nicht anders als die vielen Chinesen im Ausland, die am Ende ihres Lebens gerne in ihre Heimmat zurückkkehren möchten. - Das Laub fällt zur Baumwurzel nieder - nennen wir das."
Zhou Chun, geboren 1926 in Shanghai, lebte seit dem Massaker auf dem Platz des Himmlischen Friedens 1988 als Gastprofessor, Journalist und Autor in Berlin. Von 1949 bis 1955 war er erster Dolmetscher für Deutsch im Außenministerium der Volksrepublik China, übersetzte u.a. für Mao Zedong und Zhou Enlai. Die Jahre von 1957 bis 1979 verbrachte er als sogenannter Rechtsabweichler in Straflagern und in der Verbannung.
Nach seinem viel beachteten autobiographischen Roman "Ach, was für ein Leben!" hat Zhou Chun nun kurz vor der Rückkehr nach China einen zweiten Roman auf Deutsch vorgelegt: "Tochter der Partei". Dem Roman liegt das Schicksal seiner Schwester zu Grunde, die sich auf Drängen der KP von Ihrem Mann trennen mußte.
