KITLV Healers on the Colonial Market Def.Indd 1 10-11-11 11:34 HEALERS on the C OLONIAL MARKET Healers on the colonial market Healers on the colonial market is one of the few studies on the Healers on the Dutch East Indies from a postcolonial perspective. It provides an enthralling addition to research on both the history of the Dutch East Indies and the history of colonial medicine. This book will be colonial market of interest to historians, historians of science and medicine, and anthropologists. Native doctors and midwives How successful were the two medical training programmes in the Dutch East Indies established in Jakarta by the colonial government in 1851? One was a medical school for Javanese boys, and the other a school for midwives for Javanese girls, and the graduates were supposed to replace native healers, the dukun. However, the indigenous Native doctors and midwives in the Dutch East Indies population was not prepared to use the services of these doctors and midwives. Native doctors did in fact prove useful as vaccinators and assistant doctors, but the school for midwives was closed in 1875. Even though there were many horror stories of mistakes made during dukun-assisted deliveries, the school was not reopened, and instead a handful of girls received practical training from European physicians. Under the Ethical Policy there was more attention for the welfare of the indigenous population and the need for doctors increased. More native boys received medical training and went to work as general practitioners. Nevertheless, not everybody accepted these native doctors as the colleagues of European physicians. Liesbeth Hesselink (1943) received a PhD in the history of medicine from the University of Amsterdam in 2009. She has had a career in education and in politics. In addition she has published articles on prostitution and the medical history of the Dutch East Indies.

I belong to the last group. This book is the English translation of my revised thesis. When starting my research, it seemed obvious to me that the topic would have something to do with Indonesia, the country where I grew up. In the orientation phase, I stumbled across, more or less accidentally, two schools that were set up by the Dutch government in 1851 in Jakarta: a medical school for Javanese boys and a midwives’ school for Javanese girls. This is remarkable because back then the Dutch government’s policy was not geared in the least to educating the indig- enous population. Why was an exception made for medical training? My curiosity was aroused: I wanted to uncover the colonial government’s motives for establishing these schools and what drove the indigenous students to apply to them. Who were they, what were their backgrounds, and what sorts of careers did they have after graduating? Did the train- ing fulfill the government’s objective? Did the graduates succeed in obtaining positions in the indigenous society? I was also interested in the differences due to gender between the midwives’ training for girls and the doctors’ training for boys. Working for a doctorate is a lonely adventure, especially when one stands outside the academic world and has retired from working life – as I am. I would like to thank my thesis supervisors, Frances Gouda and Harm Beukers, for their mentoring and, particularly, for their enthu- siasm. The combination of a historian and a medical doctor, who had never met before, worked out well in practice; their respective areas of expertise complemented each other perfectly. 1 Introduction medical historiography Until recently, the field of medical history was a specialization of medi- cine rather than of history. The topics were mostly written by, for and about doctors. Then in the second half of the twentieth century, a shift took place. A new generation of medical historians in the Anglo-Saxon world broke with the traditional orientation to standard medicine and made space for alternative medicine and its practitioners. The focus moved to the societal context of medical care. Henri Sigerist, a Swiss who had moved to the USA, introduced the patient into medical his- tory. He is considered the originator of the new American social history movement (Huisman 1995:144-5). The essay by Susan Reverby and David Rosner from 1979, ‘Beyond the “Great Doctors”’, is held to be the manifesto of this movement (Huisman and Warner 2004:21). For historians, anthropologists and sociologists this development was interesting, but many traditional medical history writers in the Anglo- Saxon world, primarily physicians, were not comfortable with topics that were not purely medical and written by academics who were not doctors. The editorial comment in the Journal of the History of Medicine (January 1980) spoke of a ‘medical history without medicine’ (Reverby and Rosner 2004:174). In the Netherlands, G.A. Lindeboom, the éminence grise of the Dutch history of medicine, feared that the new generation would have too little respect for physicians (Huisman 1995:134). This concern reflected the loss of status of medicine and its practitioners in the 1960s and 1970s. Even in the professional group itself, a new wind was blowing: the British professor of social medicine, Thomas McKeown, questioned the conviction of many of his colleagues that better medical care and medicines had spectacularly extended the average life expectancy and | Healers on the colonial market ascertained that more and better food, hygiene and birth control were far more important.1 That the fear of a ‘takeover’ of medical historiography by non-med- ical historians was unfounded was demonstrated by Olga Amsterdamska and Anja Huizing in an analysis of articles in three medical journals (Bulletin of the History of Medicine, Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences and Medical History) from the period 1960-2001. It is true that the number of authors with a strictly medical background had declined from 50% in 1960-1961 to only 13% in 2000-2001. The number of historians increased proportionally from 47% to 78%. Amsterdamska and Huizinga based their research solely on the titles of the articles and ascertained that they contained less spectacular shifts than would have been expected given the changed background of the authors. They pre- ferred to talk of diversification rather than a radical change in themes. In addition, it was apparent that primarily prestigious medical journals such as The Lancet cited articles from those three journals and the periodical Social History of Medicine. Evidently, although the authors of medical his- tory were no longer all doctors, their articles were still read by doctors. This suggested to Amsterdamska and Huizing an explanation for the tra- ditional orientation and isolation of the medical history field compared with other sciences (Amsterdamska and Huizing 2004:241-3, 259).

  • Decolonization of the Dutch East Indies/Indonesia
    Europeans and decolonisations Decolonization of the Dutch East Indies/Indonesia Pieter EMMER ABSTRACT Japan served as an example for the growing number of nationalists in the Dutch East Indies. In order to pacify this group, the Dutch colonial authorities instituted village councils to which Indonesians could be elected, and in 1918 even a national parliament, but the Dutch governor-general could annul its decisions. Many Dutch politicians did not take the unilateral declaration of independence of August 1945 after the ending of the Japanese occupation seriously. Because of this stubbornness, a decolonization war raged for four years. Due to pressures from Washington the Dutch government agreed to transfer the sovereignty to the nationalists in 1949 as the Americans threatened to cut off Marshall aid to the Netherlands. The Dutch part of New Guinea was excluded from the transfer, but in 1963 again with American mediation the last remaining part of the Dutch colonial empire in Asia was also transferred to Indonesian rule.

Source : Wikipédia The Dutch attitude towards the independence movements in the Dutch East Indies Modern Indonesian nationalism was different from the earlier protest movements such as the Java War (1825-1830) and various other forms of agrarian unrest. The nationalism of the Western-educated elite no longer wanted to redress local grievances, but to unite all Indonesians in a nation independent of Dutch rule.

  • Slave Trading and Slavery in the Dutch Colonial Empire: a Global Comparison
    rik Van WELie Slave Trading and Slavery in the Dutch Colonial Empire: A Global Comparison INTRODUCTION From the early seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century, slavery played a fundamental role in the Dutch colonial empire.1 All overseas possessions of the Dutch depended in varying degrees on the labor of slaves who were imported from diverse and often remote areas. Over the past decades numer- ous academic publications have shed light on the history of the Dutch Atlantic slave trade and of slavery in the Dutch Americas.2 These scholarly contribu- tions, in combination with the social and political activism of the descen- dants of Caribbean slaves, have helped to bring the subject of slavery into the national public debate. The ongoing discussions about an official apology for the Dutch role in slavery, the erection of monuments to commemorate that history, and the inclusion of some of these topics in the first national history canon are all testimony to this increased attention for a troubled past.3 To some this recent focus on the negative aspects of Dutch colonial history has already gone too far, as they summon the country’s glorious past to instill a 1.

  • The Dutch Strategic and Operational Approach in the Indonesian War of Independence, 1945– 1949
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 46, Nr 2, 2018. doi: 10.5787/46-2-1237 THE DUTCH STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH IN THE INDONESIAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE, 1945– 1949 Leopold Scholtz1 North-West University Abstract The Indonesian War of Independence (1945–1949) and the Dutch attempt to combat the insurgency campaign by the Indonesian nationalists provides an excellent case study of how not to conduct a counter-insurgency war. In this article, it is reasoned that the Dutch security strategic objective – a smokescreen of autonomy while keeping hold of political power – was unrealistic. Their military strategic approach was very deficient. They approached the war with a conventional war mind- set, thinking that if they could merely reoccupy the whole archipelago and take the nationalist leaders prisoner, that it would guarantee victory. They also mistreated the indigenous population badly, including several mass murders and other war crimes, and ensured that the population turned against them. There was little coordination between the civilian and military authorities. Two conventional mobile operations, while conducted professionally, actually enlarged the territory to be pacified and weakened the Dutch hold on the country. By early 1949, it was clear that the Dutch had lost the war, mainly because the Dutch made a series of crucial mistakes, such as not attempting to win the hearts and minds of the local population. In addition, the implacable opposition by the United States made their war effort futile. Keywords: Indonesian War of Independence, Netherlands, insurgency, counter- insurgency, police actions, strategy, operations, tactics, Dutch army Introduction Analyses of counter-insurgency operations mostly concentrate on the well- known conflicts – the French and Americans in Vietnam, the British in Malaya and Kenya, the French in Algeria, the Portuguese in Angola and Mozambique, the Ian Smith government in Rhodesia, the South Africans in Namibia, et cetera.

  • Willem Banning and the Reform of Socialism in the Netherlands
    Contemporary European History (2020), 29, 139–154 doi:10.1017/S096077732000003X ARTICLE Willem Banning and the Reform of Socialism in the Netherlands Arie L. Molendijk University of Groningen, Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, Oude Boteringestraat 38, Groningen, 9712GK, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract In 1947 the liberal Protestant minister Willem Banning drafted a new programme for the Labour Party, in which the party dropped the Marxist view of history and class struggle. New Labour in the Netherlands was envisioned as a party that strove for a democratic and just society. Banning’s role in reforming the Labour Party was part of his broader project of breaking down structures of socio-political segregation that had existed since the end of the nineteenth century. Banning argued that the Labour Party had to abandon its atheist ideology to open up to Protestants and Catholics. This article will examine Banning’sviewsandideals and show how he contributed to the transformation of Labour into a social democratic party and seek answer to the question: how could a liberal Protestant minister become the main ideologue of the Labour Party? Introduction A touching photograph shows Willem Banning being decorated by Prime Minister Willem Drees on the occasion of his sixty-firth birthday in February 1953. The demeanour of the two social democrats displays a degree of ambiguity: they both seem to be fully enjoying this special moment, while at the same time being sceptical of such honours. In his words of gratitude Banning said that his resistance had been over- come by his friends’ insistence that he should accept the distinction.1 The Dutch Labour Party could not have been what it was in the 1950s without the decisive input of Drees and Banning.

The Dutch Political Experiment: Phase Three Omar El Zoheiry I. Introduction In the past two decades, many Western liberal democracies have undergone fundamental political transformations. Faced with the challenges of adapting to globalization and the world’s increasingly interconnected financial system, many of these democracies have found it necessary to implement a technocratic form of governance. The distance between the political elite and the people was allowed to grow under these regimes in order to achieve the much-needed efficiency in policy formulation and international integration. This article utilizes the case study of the Netherlands to analyze the implications of this gap, perhaps the most significant of which being the rise of “contemporary populism.” It attempts to make sense of seemingly random and unrelated events that have recently shocked Dutch society and politics within a framework of structural change instead of treating these events as temporal occurrences. It demonstrates how such a framework is necessary in understanding the true reason behind these events and why a temporal argument might lead to superficial conclusions.
