In The Netherlands East Indies at the Tropenmuseum, sections of the well-known ethnographic collections from Indonesia are interpreted as colonial collections. As such, these objects and images express a specific culture of colonialism and colonial society in which ethnography, art, applied art and crafts from Europe and Southeast Asia merge. For more than a century, these objects and images have played a dynamic role in creating coherence in the ethnographic collections as a whole. Through this new interpretation of such objects as colonial collections, the contours of the many diverging and contradictory social relationships that existed within colonial society become visible. In eight essays, invited authors elaborate on this approach and challenge the Tropenmuseum to extend its policies on the interpretation and presentation of ethnographnic collections in a national and international dialogue on art, cultural heritage and the legacies of colonial culture.

Product Description:
In this volume the exhibition "Eastward Bound! Art, Culture and Colonialism" forms the background against which a variety of experts discuss the issue of the museums collection which, along with the history of the formation of the collection, forms a unique source of knowledge about the way in which the Dutch have handled issues surrounding colonialism and decolonization in the past centuries. A variety of objects, representative for the four phases in the colonial relations, from 1600, through the period of colonial expansion with Dutch administration, ethical politics and finally decolonization, are depicted.
From the Inside Flap:
In dit eerste deel van de tiendelige serie collectieboeken van het Tropenmuseum worden specifieke secties van de welbekende etnografische collecties uit Indonesië geïnterpreteerd als koloniale collecties. Als zodanig vertegenwoordigen deze objecten en beelden een bijzondere cultuur van kolonialisme, waarbinnen etnografie en (toegepaste) kunst uit Europa en Zuidoost-Azië in elkaar overlopen.

Meer dan een eeuw lang, en vrijwel onopgemerkt, hebben deze objecten en beelden een dynamische rol gespeeld in de totstandkoming van een samenhangende etnografische collectie. Via deze nieuwe interpretatie worden de contouren van uiteenlopende en dikwijls tegengestelde sociale relaties, zoals ze voorkwamen binnen de koloniale samenleving, zichtbaar. In een aantal uitdagende essays geeft een aantal auteurs hun visie vanuit deze benadering en dagen ze het Tropenmuseum uit nog verder te gaan en een internationale discussie te voeren over cultureel erfgoed en de erfenis van koloniale cultuur.

Janneke van Dijk is voormalig conservator fotografische collecties bij het Tropenmuseum en is nu freelance onderzoeker op dit gebied
Susan Legêne is voormalig hoofdconservator bij het Tropenmuseum en tegenwoordig als hoogleraar politieke geschiedenis verbonden aan de Vrije Universteit Amsterdam.
Essays van: Margareta Dorilla, Thomas Lindblad, Elsbeth Locher-Scholten, Pamela Pattynama, Ratna Saptari, Edy Seriese, Harm Stevens en anderen.
