Most of the 3,080 recruits were men from the area of present-day Ghana and Burkina Faso. The modest-scale exhibition opened on 12 May in the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, with an unexpected flurry of publicity in the Dutch media, includ- ing a substantial item in the evening TV news and stories in all major newspa- pers. On display are nineteenth-century paintings and lithographs of African soldiers in the East Indies, and a selection of photographs depicting Indo- African family life on Java.

Portuguese identity in Malacca, Larantuka, and East Timor, for example, has always been associated with Catholicism. But in Batavia, the Portuguese-speaking population (the Mardijkers, slaves, and Burghers) was converted to Calvinism under Dutch colonization, forming the Protestant Portuguese community in Indonesia.

Reenactor menirukan karakter visual serdadu KNIL Andjing NICA era 1945-1950 berdasarkan pelbagai dokumentasi sejarah dari dalam dan luar negeri. Peniruan dilakukan melalui aktivitas-aktivitas yang dalam penelitian ini dipakai dengan istilah ―Panggung Depan‖ dan ―Panggung Belakang‖. ―Panggung Depan‖ terkait tampilan fisik dan visual beserta aktivitas reenactment dan non-reenactment yang dilakukan. Sedangkan ―Panggung Belakang‖ adalah realitas kehidupan keseharian dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat sebagai sikap ―tersembunyi‖ (menjadi ‗the real structure‘) yang membentuk perilaku karakteristik visual serdadu KNIL Andjing NICA pada masa kini. ―Panggung Belakang‖ sangat terkait dengan situasi psikologis dan karakterististik individu yang melatar belakangi munculnya ekspresi dan tampilan pada ―Panggung Depan‖.

  • African Soldiers in the Dutch East Indies As Seen by Dutch Officials and Indonesian Neighbours
    “COURAGEOUS BUT INSOLENT”: African soldiers in the Dutch East Indies as seen by Dutch officials and Indonesian neighbours Transforming Cultures eJournal, Vol. 4 No 2 November 2009 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/TfC Ineke van Kessel1 Abstract Labour shortages were endemic in colonial societies. Plantation and mining labour was notoriously unattractive, but the army posed problems of its own. In their search to satisfy the voracious appetite for labour in commercial empires and colonial societies, rulers developed racial and ethnic stereotypes as to which “race” was most suitable to perform certain jobs. Africans were deemed most suitable for hard physical labour in tropical climates. They were also portrayed as “martial races”, fit to fill the manpower needs of both Islamic and European armies.2 This article will first give a brief overview of the use of African labour in the Dutch East Indies. Next, I discuss in more detail one peculiar aspect of inter-colonial labour migration in the Dutch colonial empire: the recruitment of West African soldiers for the Dutch East Indies army in the 19th century. [Africa, Indonesia, colonialism] Introduction Recruiting labour from West Africa for Southeast Asia deviated from the established pattern of the slave trade in the Indian Ocean world. As part of the Atlantic world, in the Dutch commercial system West Africa belonged to the domain of the West India Company (WIC). East of the Cape of Good Hope, the Dutch East India Company 1 Ineke van Kessel is an historian at the African Studies Centre, Leiden, The Netherlands. She focuses mainly on contemporary social and political movements in South Africa, as well as the historical relations between the Netherlands and the Gold Coast.

  • ORANG KRISTEN ARMENIA Suatu Minoritas Kecil Di Indonesia Yang
    ALLE G. HOEKEMA ORANG KRISTEN ARMENIA Suatu Minoritas Kecil di Indonesia yang Sudah Punah ALLE G. HOEKEMA* Abstract The Armenian Church in the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) came into being after Armenian traders from Persia (Iran) entered to the country in the middle of the 19th century and remained here; at fi rst in Batavia (Jakarta), then also in Central Java, and especially in Surabaya. Both their church life and their attitude in society were inwardly oriented. All of their priests came from Persia. An Armenian trading network existed widely in South East Asia and contacts with the mother church in Persia and Armenia itself were very strong. Though the Armenian community contributed positively to the Indonesian society, nevertheless its closed attitude proved to be a major weakness. During the colonial time the Armenians received an equal status to the Dutch and a number of them perished due to the Japanese occupation. These factors caused the liquidation of this community around 1960. The church buildings were sold and the remaining members migrated to Netherlands, USA, and Australia. Keywords: church history, the Armenians, ethnic minority, diaspora. Abstrak Gereja Armenia di Indonesia (dulu: Hindia Belanda) hadir setelah para pedagang dari Persia (Iran) masuk ke Indonesia pada pertengahan abad ke-19; pertama kali di Jakarta (dulu: Batavia), kemudian di Jawa Tengah, dan yang terutama di Surabaya (Jawa Timur). Baik dalam kehidupan gerejawi maupun dalam sikapnya di dalam masyarakat, komunitas Gereja Armenia berorientasi ke dalam. Semua imam mereka berasal dari Persia. * Mantan dosen Seminari Mennonite dan Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. GEMA TEOLOGI Vol. 37, No.

  • Can the Train Ever Be Stopped Again? Developments in the Moluccan Community in the Netherlands Before and After the Hijackings*
    CAN THE TRAIN EVER BE STOPPED AGAIN? DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MOLUCCAN COMMUNITY IN THE NETHERLANDS BEFORE AND AFTER THE HIJACKINGS* Dieter Bartels Introduction April 25, 1985. Shortly after sunrise, shivering people gather around flagpoles near the churches in Moluccan wards of small towns all over the Netherlands. A brief ceremony of prayers, speeches, and singing culminates in raising the flag of a country which today exists only in the hearts of the participants. Immediately after the ceremony, the people board hired buses, climb onto trains, or pile into private cars to begin their annual pilgrimage to the Houtrusthallen exhibition center in The Hague, the political capital of the Netherlands. On this day, they commemorate the 35th Anniversary of the proclamation of independence of the Republic of South Moluccas (Republik Maluku Selatan, generally referred to as RMS), while simultaneously lamenting their thirty-fourth year of exile in the Netherlands. The annual gathering has essentially two objectives. The first is to remind the Dutch people, and particularly the Dutch government, of their continuing obligation to aid Moluccans in the establishment of a free homeland, independent of Indonesia, to which the exiles in Holland will then voluntarily repatriate. The second objective is a reaffirmation of those goals commonly referred to as the "RMS ideal" or "RMS ideology" 1 among the exile community itself, and a show of * This analysis was carried out while the author worked at the Center for the Study of Social Conflicts (COMT), University of Leiden, The Netherlands (1983-85), conducting research on socialization and identity formation among Moluccans in the Netherlands.

  • The Legacy of New Order Nationalism on Interfaith Relations in Ambon
    Becoming Red and White: The Legacy of New Order Nationalism on Interfaith Relations in Ambon Benjamin L. Moseley A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Studies: Southeast Asia University of Washington 2016 Committee: Laurie Sears Christoph Giebel Program Authorized to Offer Degree: International Studies: Southeast Asia ©Copyright 2016 Benjamin L. Moseley University of Washington Abstract Becoming Red and White: The Legacy of New Order Nationalism on Interfaith Relations in Ambon Benjamin L. Moseley Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Laurie Sears History This paper analyzes the roles of the nationalistic policies and rhetoric of the New Order in facilitating a wave of sectarian violence that plagued the island of Ambon in Indonesia’s Maluku Province from 1999 to 2002. While the sectarian violence in Ambon did not begin until almost a year after the resignation of Suharto in May 1998, this paper endorses the belief that the roots of Christian-Muslim anxiety, mistrust, and, eventually, violence in Ambon can be traced to government efforts to manipulate religious organizations, diminish local institutions, and suppress regional identities. Furthermore, the period of political liberalization that followed the resignation of Suharto, known as Reformasi , created the necessarily conditions for sectarian violence to occur as the different religious and ethnic groups living in Ambon became increasingly nervous about their political, social, and economic positions in a post-Suharto Indonesia. In this paper, newspapers, anthropological articles, and contemporary reports are utilized to examine the outbreak of the sectarian violence, the rhetoric surrounding the violence, and its origins in the policies of the New Order regime.
