A history of Christianity in Indonesia /
:
Indonesia is the home of the largest single Muslim community of the world. Its Christian community, about 10% of the population, has until now received no overall description in English. Through cooperation of 26 Indonesian and European scholars, Protestants and Catholics, a broad and balanced picture is given of its 24 million Christians. This book sketches the growth of Christianity during the Portuguese period (1511-1605), it presents a fair account of developments under the Dutch colonial administration (1605-1942) and is more elaborate for the period of the Indonesian Republic (since 1945). It emphasizes the regional differences in this huge country, because most Christians live outside the main island of Java. Muslim-Christian relations, as well as the tensions between foreign missionaries and local theology, receive special attention.

Official History in Modern Indonesia : New Order Perceptions and Counterviews /
:
Dealing with New Order perceptions of the past this study gives insights into how the past can be used for purposes of national-building and regime legitimization and into the nature of the New Order. The Suharto regime created a coherent history that is reflected in recent archaeological and historical research, in popular histories and biographies, in monuments and in school textbooks. The author describes an official history stretching from the proto-Indonesia of Majapahit, through the Indonesian Revolution up to the birth of the New Order in 1965. He also gives a counterview to this history stressing Indonesia's place in the larger Islamic world. The past emphasized political stability and national unity under the guidance of the military and socially disruptive ideas were to be avoided.

Mission schools in Batakland (Indonesia), 1861-1940 /
:
The expansion of Christianity is often described from the viewpoint of the western missionaries. This book, however, focuses on the large group of indigenous teachers and their pupils at the mission schools in Batakland. These educational activities in fact provided the most important incentive for the birth and growth of the Lutheran Batak Church since 1860. With 3 million members this is the largest protestant church in Indonesia, a Southeast Asian country with 190 million inhabitants, 85% of whom are Muslim. The study is based on archival sources in German, Dutch, Indonesian and Batak, as well as on interviews with local teachers. This is an important case-study about the place of education within the missionary enterprise, the cooperation and conflicts between foreign missionaries and their indigenous helpers, the delicate relation between the Dutch colonial government and a German mission board.

Het Proces Sneevliet 1917 /
:
Het artikel 'zegepraal', een jubelkreet over de Russische Februarirevolutie in het dagblad De Indiër in maart 1917 van Henk Sneevliet, voorman van de kleine groep linkse socialisten in Nederlands-Indië, leidde tot het eerste grote openbare politieke proces in de kolonie. De officier van justitie te Semarang achtte Sneevliets artikel opruiend op grond van de 'haatzaaiartikelen'uit het Wetboek van Strafrecht voor Europeanen em daagde Sneevliet voor het gerecht. De conservatieve Hollandse gemeenschap hoopte dat er eindelijk met de socialistische 'opruier'en revolutionair zou worden afgerekend. Het proces in november 1917 duurde vier dagen. Sneevliet voerde zelf zijn verdediging en hield een urenlang betoog tegen het Nederlandse koloniaal bestel. Hij werd schuldig bevonden, maar hiervoor echter niet strafbaar gesteld. Sneevliet werd ontslagen van rechtsvervolging. In december volgde echter, ook door de druk van de reactionaire pers, externering uit Nederlands-Indië vanwege zijn revolutionaire activiteiten. De overvloedig gedocumenteerde verdedigingsrede en het verslag van de procesgang werden door A. Baars en Sneevliet in januari 1918 gepubliceerd in een door henzelf beperkte oplage uitgegeven boek Het proces Sneevliet: De Sociaal-Democratie in Nederlandsch Indië . Deze unieke bron, waarvan slechts enkele bibliotheken een exemplaar bezitten, is in facsimilé herdrukt en door Fritjof Tichelman van een uitgebreide inleiding voorzien.

Recht en rechtspraak in Nederlands-Indië /
:
In Recht en rechtspraak in Nederlands-Indië wordt een overzicht verschaft van het ingewikkelde rechtsstelsel van Nederlands-Indië, zoals dat van 1848 tot 1950 functioneerde, en dat voor een groot deel is overgenomen door de Republiek Indonesia. Tot nu toe bestond zo'n beknopt overzicht niet. Het is bedoeld voor hen, die voor het eerst kennis maken met het recht van Nederlands-Indië en behoefte hebben aan een overzicht van de hoofdlijnen van het stelsel en de belangrijkste rechterlijke instellingen. Het is geschreven voor (rechts) historici, antropologen en andere geïnteresseerden in het Nederlands-Indische rechtsstelsel. Recht en rechtspraak in Nederlands-Indië is een bewerking van een inleiding geschreven voor het boek Nederlands-Indische jurisprudentie: Register op de geannoteerde rechtspraak in het "Indisch Tijdschrift van het Recht" (1949-1950) en de "Mededelingen van het Documentatiebureau voor Overzees Recht" (1950-1958) . Dit boekje kwam tot stand naar aanleiding van een opdracht voor een documentatieproject dat voor de Nederlandse Raad voor Juridische Samenwerking met Indonesië te Leiden werd uitgevoerd door het Van Vollenhoven Instituut van Rijksuniversiteit te Leiden.
