Editor's Note:
Het ‘prachtig ryk van Insulinde dat zich daar slingert om den evenaar, als een gordel van smaragd’. Met die woorden verheerlijkte Multatuli de kolonie Nederlands-Indië in zijn Max Havelaar (1860). In de vroege negentiende eeuw, na de ondergang van de VOC, werd Indië voor het eerst een echte kolonie van Nederland. Vanaf dat moment gingen reizigers op pad om de binnenlanden van Java, Sumatra en de ‘buitengewesten’ te verkennen: natuuronderzoekers, predikanten, zendelingen, taalgeleerden, ambtenaren, militairen en gelukszoekers, en later ook vrouwen en toeristen. Zij schreven volop reisverhalen om het ‘moederland’ te informeren over het koloniale project.Hoe reisden ze in die periode in Indië? Welke woorden gebruikten ze om uiting te geven aan hun ervaring van de tropen? Wat zagen, hoorden, roken en proefden ze? Welke onbekende planten, dieren en mensen kwamen ze tegen? En wat zeggen de publicaties van negentiende-eeuwers over hun manier van denken? De ontdekking van Insulinde laat niet alleen zien hoe Nederlanders réisden, maar ook hoe ze dáchten en de koloniale stereotypen vorm gaven die tot op heden invloed uitoefenen.
