Jan Breman dives deep into the intricate world of plantation society in East Coast Sumatra, shedding light on the intersecting dynamics of colonial rule and labor. Through a careful examination of the lives of coolie workers, he unveils the harsh realities they faced under the Dutch colonial order, painting a vivid picture of their struggles and resilience.
Breman's exploration goes beyond mere historical facts; it delves into the societal structures that both defined and confined the plantation workers. Readers will find themselves immersed in the rich tapestry of this region, gaining insight into how colonial practices shaped the lives of many. It's a thought-provoking journey through an era marked by exploitation yet also brimming with the spirit of resistance.
