Hof en handel
De Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC) had haar werkterrein in Azi . De twaalf artikelen in deze bundel analyseren de relaties tussen de Compagnie en de machthebbers op die Aziatische werkvloer.

This section is interleaved with blank shects for...

Meanwhile, migrant workers from Java continue to travel abroad, finding short-term employment in places like Malaysia and the Middle East. This volume traces the different ways in which Javanese migrants and migrant communities are connected in their host society and with Java as a real or imagined authoritative source of norms, values an...
