Interpreting the Existence of Dewala and Ina Leta as the Center of the Tounwawan People's Life Narrative in Southwest Maluku, Indonesia
Dewala and Ina Leta mean stone walls and mother village, respectively. These are monuments that symbolize “the beginning of life” narrative of the Tounwawan people of Moa Islands, Maluku, Indonesia. This first settlement narrative has become the collective memory of the Tounwawan community. It preserves their socio-cultural identity and helps them understand their roles and positions, perceiving themselves and others living together in the same e…
Searching transnational relations between Moluccans in the Netherlands and the Moluccas
This article deals with the transnational relations between Moluccans in the Netherlands and the Moluccas. Former Moluccan colonial soldiers and their families were forced to go to the Netherlands because of political developments in Indonesia after the transfer of sovereignty in 1949. They hoped to return soon to an independent South Moluccan Republic but, more than seventy years later, they still live in the Netherlands. This article first desc…
Ethnic 'Ferociousness' in Colonial Wars
This article explores the myths and evidence surrounding extreme violence and the framing of 'ethnic soldiers' as loyal and indispensable Moluccan soldiers in the Dutch army in the Indonesian War of Independence, 1945-1949. In this article, we first interrogate the origins of this framing in the Dutch-Indonesian case and the type of sources underlying this perspective. Next, we present the results of our research, which combines a study of Dutch …
In and Out of Uniform
At the beginning of the twenty-fi rst century, there were some fi fty thousand Moluccans living in the Netherlands. 1 Except for a very few Moluccans who served in the Dutch colonial army and/or their wives who came to the Netherlands in 1951 after the decolonization of Indonesia, they were the descendants of these Moluccan soldiers. During the late colonial era, the Moluccan soldiers had become the most valued ‘ethnic soldiers’ in the colonial a…
Colonial Figures
This article explores post-colonial memories about street traders among individuals who lived in the former colony of the Dutch East Indies. It argues that these narratives romanticize the relationship between Europeans and indigenous peoples. Street vendors are also used to differentiate between periods within colonial and post-colonial history. The nostalgic representation of interracial contact between Europeans and traders is contrasted with …
Remembrance of Dutch War Dead in Southeast Asia, 1942-1945
Recognition of the war experience in Southeast Asia in the Netherlands was not easy. The Indisch community, those who had to leave the Netherlands East Indies after decolonization, did not feel that their war experience was accepted. The arena for these actions was not only the Indisch monument in the Netherlands, but also the War cemetery in Thailand. The former Dutch POW ended up in a dispute with the Australian caretaker of that cemetery over …
