The Course of Successful Sustainable Sugar Production in Colonial Java, Dutch East Indies (1870 – 1930)
L’Indonésie pendant la Guerre froide

Created with graduate students from Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam across diverse language groups, this oral history project provid…
The Historical Figure of Omar al-Mukhtar and Islamic Martyrdom in Indonesia
The story of Omar al-Mukhtar resisting Italian colonisation of Libya had great potential as a rallying point for anti-colonial sentiment in the Indies stirred up by Islamic politicians under a Pan-Islamic banner. The Dutch colonial government was quite aware of the issue’s sensitivity. It forbade newspapers and Islamic leaders from even mentioning the story of Omar al-Mukhtar with the result that the proposed boycotts against Italy could not beco…
