locher-scholten

The first English translation of Professor Locher-Scholten’s 1994 Dutch text, a study of the reaction to Dutch colonial expansion by the Sumatran sultanate of Jambi. The Dutch text has been called ＂an excellent teaching tool for work on the Netherlands imperial project ＂ [Locher-Scholten’s] extensive archive work, in both Holland and Indonesia, her explicit reference to secondary theoretical works, and her useful lists mean that her analysis is transparent and accessible.＂
