Description:
Paperback / softback. New. Draws on published works and private papers to describe to way Dutch racial scientists tried to make sense of the human diversity in the Indonesian archipelago. The making of racial knowledge, it contends, cannot be explained solely in terms of internal European intellectual developments but it was "on the ground", that ideas about race were made and unmade.

Description:
Singapore: NUS Press, 2017. Paperback. New. The Netherlands ruled the Dutch East Indies at a time when Europeans were fascinated with the science of race and the relationship between races. In this study Sysling uses both published works and private papers to unearth what anthropologists and others were up to as they attempted to impose preconceived ideas of race on the situation they found in throughout the archipelago. Very often those ideas were not supported by reality. So adaptations had to be made and new theories produced, which very often floundered as well. 305 pages.
