Abstract

This study investigates the integration and assimilation trajectories of Indonesian citizens of European descent in the aftermath of the national revolution. Focusing on the Partai Indo Nasional (PIN) and the Indo-Eenheids Verbond (IEV), later transformed into the Gabungan Indo untuk Kesatuan Indonesia (GIKI-IEV), the research explores the divergent strategies adopted by these two prominent organizations to navigate their post-colonial identity. While both groups sought integration into Indonesian society, their approaches varied significantly. PIN prioritized legal assimilation without imposing cultural uniformity, whereas GIKI-IEV emphasized social work and education as avenues for both integration and cultural adaptation. Despite facing numerous internal and external challenges, the assimilation process accelerated after 1959, coinciding with the dissolution of both organizations. Their contrasting perspectives on national culture and integration fostered internal divisions and influenced the broader contours of Indo-European assimilation in Indonesia.

Abstract

Long before Covid-19, in the 19th to early 20th century, pageblug (epidemic) hit the residents of the Vorstenlanden and claimed many lives. This article aims to review the pageblug phenomenon in urban Java during the colonial period using a local history approach. Based on manuscript, archive and mass media data, it is known that Javanese society responded with irrational actions and belief in gugon tuhon (local beliefs) because of the pageblug. In the Western perspective, which prioritized logical thinking, this was seen as unreasonable and even to be considered occult. The results show that there was a relationship between pageblug, jampi (mantra), and gugon tuhon. There had been various efforts to overcome disease or illness using medical and non-medical methods. The method of medical treatment with jampi is recorded in Serat Primbon Mixture of Jampi Jawi and Serat Gugon Tuhon. Because there were rational and irrational thoughts about pageblug, the way jampi was used was also rational and irrational in the view of today’s society. The irrational side was supported by the gugon tuhon which was believed in by the local community.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze with the historical method how literature from the Dutch East Indies written by an Indo-European, a person from mixed Asian and European ancestors, attempted to educate the Dutch overseas in Europe. The early 20th century saw several technological developments which raised interest in Asia in the Netherlands and caused a spike in immigrants in the Indies. The Dutch were interested in reading about life in their colonial holdings overseas, especially those who were contemplating making a trip to the Indies. Many writings emerged to teach, warn, or push potential immigrants who wished to go to the Indies. However, those were mainly written by Dutch people who had lived or were living in the Indies temporarily. Indo-European writers had different concerns and interests from the Dutch, which pushed them to also write literary works that were partly aimed at the Dutch overseas. They hoped their writings would help them understand life in Java and to prepare properly. J.E. Jasper, an Indo-European colonial official, was the most outspoken critic of his literature. His work, heavily influenced by the Ethical Policy while developing his thoughts reminded and taught the Dutch about what was important about life in the Indies.
