Lay Atjien Liok and the Lidak War of 1852: Chinese networking, indigenous agency and colonial intrusion in eastern Indonesia 2011 (English)Conference paper, Published paper (Other academic)

Abstract [en]

The conference paper studies the circumstances of a Timorese case of resistance against Dutch colonial rule in 1852-57, the Lidak War. It is pointed out how indigenous political mobilization in combination with influence from Overseas Chinese traders was able to keep the Dutch on the defence for several years, and how this was commemorated in the local collective memory.
