Woman and the Colonial State deals with the ambiguous relationship between women of both the European and the Indonesian population and the colonial state in the former Netherlands Indies in the ...first half of the twentieth century. Based on new data from a variety of sources: colonial archives, journals, household manuals, children's literature, and press surveys, it analyses the women-state relationship by presenting five empirical studies on subjects, in which women figured prominently at the time: Indonesian labour, Indonesian servants in colonial homes, Dutch colonial fashion and food, the feminist struggle for the vote and the intense debate about monogamy of and by women at the end of the 1930s.

Wayang beber je kazalište svitaka s indonezijskog otoka Jave. Ta je višestoljetna tradicija započela u kraljevskim palačama te se prenijela u sela Središnje i Istočne Jave gdje se zadržala do danas. ...Međutim, usprkos velikoj važnosti te snažnim performativnim i ritualnim aspektima koje je wayang beber imao u prošlosti, taj je kazališni oblik postao rijedak i nepoznat većini Javanaca. Članak daje povijesni pregled wayang bebera i analizira njegovo postojanje danas u tradicionalnim i suvremenim oblicima.
