Husain Index Z4t Preface The origin of this book goes back to the conference on 'The decolonization of the Indonesian city in (Asian and African) comparative perspectivel held in Leiden, from zG to z8 April zoo6. Most of the articles were first presented as a paper at this conference, but a few articles were added later. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the conference received from the Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogs-, Holocaust- en Genocidestudies (Nroo) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, Section Social Sciences (wwo-MaGW) in The Hague, the Leids Universiteits Fonds (rur) in Leiden, and the Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde (rIrr,v). The conference was one event of the research pro- gramme 'lndonesia across Orders', which was coordinated by the Nron. This programme was funded generously by the Dutch Ministry for Health, Welfare and Sport (Ministerie van Volksgezondheid, Welzijn and Sport). We would also like to acknowledge the generous support ofthe KITLv, which has enabled our volume to be available as an open access publication. We feel deep sorrow for Saki Murakami, who passed away before this book was published. Despite her young age, Saki was a central figure at the conference: witty, sunny, kind, and able to communicate in three languages with participants coming from three different continents. We dedicate this book to her fond memory.
