Editor's Note:
Kesultanan Sumatra dan Negara Kolonial; Hubungan Jambi - Batavia (1830 - 1907) dan Bangkitnya Imperialisme BelandaElsbeth Locher-ScholtenImperialisme Belanda di Indonesia sudah dikaji dari banyak sudut pandang. Meskipun demikian, salah satu pendekatan yang sebelumnya kurang adalah studi kasus hubungan pemerintah kolonial Hindia Timur dan sebuah kesultanan lokal selama sebuah periode yang panjang. Studi semacam ini bisa melukiskan praktek kolonial dalam beberapa lapisan. Buku ini berupaya mengisi kekosongan dengan mengeksplorasi hubungan antara Batavia dan Kesultanan Jambi dalam kurun 1830-1907, dengan epilog pada 1907-49Mengapa Jambi yang tidak begitu dikenal dan bukan Kesultanan Sumatra yang lebih besar seperti Siak atau Aceh? Sekalipun para sejarawan kolonial generasi pertama memberi kesan bahwa nyaris kebetulan belaka Belanda membangun kehadiran administratif di Jambi pada awal 1830-an, peristiwa-peristiwa yang terjadi di pinggiran koloni itu ternyata sangat membuka wawasan.Sejarah hubungan Batavia dan Kesultanan Jambi adalah bidang bersegi banyak yang mencakupi teori-teori imperialisme modern, campur tangan asing, eksploitasi perompakan ala petualang Amerika Walter Murray Gibson, akal-akalan konyol utusan palsu Sultan Turki, sikap menghindar yang dipertahankan Sultan Taha selama beberapa dekade, peran yang dimainkan minyak, perang, aktivitas gerilya, dan akhirnya, antara 1945 dan 1949, perkembangan separatisme pro-Belanda dan anti-Republik. Pokok bahasan ini, yang terus-menerus membalikkan asumsi awal yang sudah mapan, menawarkan contoh bagus kolonialisme Belanda selama satu abad lebih di daerah tersebut.The first English translation of Professor Locher-Scholten's 1994 Dutch text, a study of the reaction to Dutch colonial expansion by the Sumatran sultanate of Jambi. The Dutch text has been called "an excellent teaching tool for work on the Netherlands imperial project [Locher-Scholten's] extensive archive work, in both Holland and Indonesia, her explicit reference to secondary theoretical works, and her useful lists mean that her analysis is transparent and accessible."
