Dutch colonial violence and the missing voices of Indonesians

NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide studies

Research output: Working paper/discussion paper › Web article › Professional

Abstract

The Dutch continue to widely underestimate their colonial violence of the past. The publication of the hard-hitting conclusions of the Independence, Decolonization, Violence and War in Indonesia 1945-1950-program revealed the Dutch state actively condoning systematic and structural violence during Indonesia’s War for Independence. Discourse management, short-term perspectives and diminished Indonesian perspectives explain how Dutch perpetratorship is still under negotiation in the Netherlands.
