The oral examination took place on 15 July 2020.Firstly, I wish to thank the members of my doctoral committee, Anne Kwaschik, Marcus Sandl and Sven Trakulhun. A huge thanks to Sven Trakulhun, who took on this project without really knowing what he was getting into and who never ceased to believe in it for the last decade or so. For commenting on an early draft of the first chapters, I would like to thank Gert Oostindie and Henk Schulte Nordholt of the Royal Netherlands Institute for Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV) in Leiden. Anne-Lot Hoek in Amsterdam and Jennifer Foray at Purdue University, USA, were both generous in sharing their ideas on some of the issues I discuss. A special thanks to Remco Raben at the University of Amsterdam for his encouragement and his very generous support. Thank you to Mariam Habibi at the American Graduate School in Paris for sharing ideas on collective memory. Thank you to Inge Genee and the anonymous reviewers of the Canadian Journal of Netherlandic Studies; my discussion of the works of Maria Dermoût is better for their constructive suggestions. A special thank you to Julia Benschop-Plokker, Irene van Rossum and Jaap Wagenaar at Amsterdam University Press for guiding me through the process of bringing this work to publication. I am indebted to Judith Allan and Ed Hatton for their outstanding editing. I am very grateful to Esther Captain of KITLV in Leiden and Nicole Immler of the University of Humanistic Studies in Utrecht; they both read the entire manuscript and their perceptive suggestions helped to make it a better work. It goes without saying that any remaining errors of fact or misinterpretations are my sole responsibility.Thank you to the staff, librarians and archivists at the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV) in Leiden, the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies in Amsterdam, the Eye Film Institute in Amsterdam and the Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum. The digitalized historical collection of newspapers at the Royal Library in The Hague, known as Delpher, was a godsend to me, while working remotely in Switzerland. A special thanks to Anja Doolan for being my secret library assistant at the University of Amsterdam. I am grateful to Eilís Doolan, who did most of the proofreading, and Esther de Vries, who 10 COLLEC TIVE MEMORY AND THE DUTCH EAST INDIES checked the footnotes. Thanks to Jutta Pfleger and Vera Lutzke for helping with the German summaries in my original thesis.My numerous research trips to the Netherlands were made extra pleasant by the fact that I was always provided with a roof over my head by friends.
