Offering important new understandings of the Indonesian
independence struggle, this fine-grained study explores the
international activities in the capitals of interwar Europe of the
Perhimpoenan Indonesia (PI), an Indonesian nationalist student
organisation based in the Netherlands. Operating in a vibrant
political environment, the PI interacted with different
anticolonial movements in cities across Europe. Focusing on the
period between 1917 and 1931, the book follows the personal
journeys of different students to cities such as Zurich, Paris,
Brussels and Berlin as they established contacts, joined
associations and attended international conferences. Here, the
complex reality of movement building is examined, going beyond
superficial suggestions of contact and collaboration. The study
shows that the activities of the PI reverberated in the Indonesian
political landscape, where the new collaborations in Europe were
followed with great interest. In this way, the book offers new
findings for multiple audiences - Indonesianists and scholars of
anticolonial resistance alike. However, it also demonstrates that
the political awakening of Indonesian elites should be understood
not just as an indigenous response to Dutch rule but also as part
of global anticolonial movements and struggles.
