The Hunt for the Heart
Born in Holland of East Indian descent, Jan Boon's two pseudonyms corresponded to his two different writerly incarnations. As Tjalie Robinson, the journalist and activist, Boon worked to preserve the distinctive Indo-Dutch ("Indo") culture in the Dutch East Indies. As Vincent Mahieu, he wrote the stories collected in this anthology, unique and engaging stories about the Indos with whom he grew up in the colonial society of the Indies.
The Komedie Stamboel
Originating in 1891 in the Port City of Surabaya, the Komedie Stamboel, or Istanbul-style theater, toured colonial Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia by rail and steamship.
Transport of Dangerous Goods
This book addresses the various risks associated with the transport of dangerous goods within a territory. The emphasis of the contributions is on methods and tools to reduce the vulnerability of both the environment and human society to accidents or malicious acts involving such transport. With topics ranging from game theory to governance principles, the authors together cover technical, legal, financial, and logistic aspects of this problem. The intended audience includes responsible persons in territorial organizations, managers of transport infrastructures, as well as students, teachers and researchers wishing to deepen their knowledge in this area.
Verzameld werk
Het Verzameld werk van Vincent Mahieu bevat de twee bundels die de schrijver zelf samenstelde en publiceerde: Tjies (1958) en Tjoek (1960); de twee bundels die Rob Nieuwenhuys bezorgde en die postuum gepubliceerd werden: Schuilen voor de regen (1989) en Schat, schot, schat (1990); en zes niet eerder gebundelde verhalen. Bijna alle verhalen die Boon onder het pseudoniem Vincent Mahieu schreef zijn in een korte periode van ruim een jaar geschreven, omstreeks 1952, in Sampit (Borneo), maar de tijd heeft er geen vat op: Mahieu schreef toen al in het Nederlands dat wij nu dagelijks om ons heen horen.

Transnational Migration and Human Security
The volume places the migration-development-security nexus in the field of transnational studies. Rather than treating these three categories as self-evident, the essays excavate aspects of power and privilege built into their governing frameworks and conflicting rationales apparent in practices of control. Bringing together diverse experiences and case studies, the volume highlights the problematic nature of maintaining distinct and disconnected frameworks of governance. It argues for a new approach that demonstrates the significance and usefulness of comparative ethics in conceptualising migration from a human-centered and gendered perspective in order to address the multi-facetted and multi-dimensional nature and meanings of "security".
Post-Colonial Immigrants and Identity Formations in the Netherlands
In this book Ulbe Bosma explores the experience of immigrants in the Netherlands over sixty years and three generations. Looking at migrants from all countries, Bosma teases out how their ethnic identities are informed by Dutch culture, and how these immigrant identities evolve over time.“Fascinating, comprehensive, and historically grounded, this essential volume reveals how the colonial past continues to shape multicultural Dutch society. . . . It is an important counterpart to work on France, Britain, and Portugal.”—Andrea Smith, Lafayette College

O'G. Anderson.
Chewing Over the West
The orientation of academic institutions has in recent years been moving away from highly specialized area studies in the classical sense towards broader regional and comparative studies. Cultural studies points to the limitation of Western approaches to non-Western cultures - a development not yet reflected in actual research and data collections. Bringing together scholars from all over the world with specialized knowledge in both Western and non-Western languages, literatures, and cultures, this collection of essays provides new insights into the agency of non-Western literatures in relation to the West - a term used with critical caution and, like other common binary dualisms, challenged...
