| dc.description.abstract | Pieter Elberveld is a story written based on the historical facts of the revolt of
an Indo-German descendant against the Dutch colonial government in Batavia.
The revolt got a lot responses from different writers, either local, Dutch, or Chinese,
including Tio Ie Soei. Giving the focus on the representation, this article attempts
to give answers, based on the postcolonial perspective, to the following
questions: (1) how was the revolt represented by the author, (2) what did political
identity the author have, and (3) what were textual and political strategies employed
in the story. In order to answer those questions, this article gives the focus
on the image of the indigenous people, space structures, and text purposes in the
representation framework of the postcolonial study. | en_US |
