The arrival of the Dutch in Jambi gave the impression of almost coincidence because Jambi was not familiar and not a large sultanate in Sumatra compared to Aceh. Even Jambi as a relatively small and unimportant kingdom in the 19th century. However, during the colonial era, some penetrations made to the Sultanate of Jambi. This study examines several factors that caused resistance from the rulers and local people of Jambi against the Dutch colonial power. By using a historical method that emphasized on the secondary sources, this study identifies those factors to make penetration. It shows that economic factors in which the Dutch monopoly trading system is not acceptable to the rulers and local people. It is detrimental and contrary to freedom of trade. Meanwhile, colonial expansion is contrary to the ethical principles they profess. In addition, the failure of the Jambi sultanate had the weakness of their political institutions in facing Dutch colonial penetration. The weakness of their political institutions is influenced by the poor main foundation of the empire and the values of the royal tradition.

Testimonials of Aruban history and heritage: the kunuku houses and cas floria On the island of Aruba, traditional houses are often decorated with unique symbols. Houses with these decorations are called ‘cas floria’, meaning decorated house. The origin for this style of building and the meaning of the symbols presumably stem from the culture of the native inhabitants of Aruba (Indians). Over the course of time, the Dutch colonial power had influence on the residential culture on Aruba. They introduced stone houses and building materials such as roof tiles and cement. The native population gradually started replacing their loam houses for stone versions. In the 19th century, the building style of cas floria arose. These houses were found mostly in the historic native settlements. For the colonial settlers, these symbols had no special meaning and so they did not live in decorated houses. Nowadays, a lot of cas floria and traditional kunuku houses have become ruins. However, many of those historic houses have remained and are still inhabited to this day. The Monumentenbureau Aruba has been lobbying with the Aruban Government to grant the traditional kunuku houses and cas floria a protected monumental status, so that this part of Aruban heritage and identity will be preserved for future generations.

 This study aims to describe the enforcement of colonial power in Sambas Sultanate and to analyze the influence of the colonial bureaucratic system on changes in the bureaucratic system in Sambas Sultanate. This study uses a multidisciplinary approach namely the historical approach as the main approach assisted by social science approaches such as sociological, political, anthropological, and economic approaches. The method used is a historical method that includes four steps namely heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The results showed that the establishment of colonial rule in Sambas Sultanate began with an agreement of friendship and fellowship in 1818, continued with the abolition of the Chinese Kongsis, and prevented the expansion of British power. The implementation of the colonial bureaucracy that had led to modernization then influenced changes in the bureaucratic system in Sambas Sultanate, including changes in the administrative area, the implementation of governance with an ambivalent government system (direct and indirect government systems) and the recruitment of officials adjusted to colonial interest. The ambivalent nature of the bureaucracy aims to maintain the hegemony and position of the Dutch colonial as a superstructure. As a result, there was a patron-client relationship between colonial and traditional governments.تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى وصف تطبيق القوة الاستعمارية في سلطنة سامباس وتحليل تأثير النظام البيروقراطي الاستعماري على التغيرات في النظام البيروقراطي في سلطنة سامباس .تستخدم هذه الدراسة نهجًا متعدد التخصصات هو النهج التاريخي باعتباره النهج الرئيسي الذي تدعمه مناهج العلوم الاجتماعية مثل النهج الاجتماعي والنهج السياسي والنهج الأنثروبولوجي والنهج الاقتصادي .الطريقة المستخدمة هي طريقة تاريخية تتضمن أربع خطوات هي الاستدلال، التحقق، التفسير والتأريخ. أظهرت النتائج أن إقامة الحكم الاستعماري في سلطنة سامباس بدأ بمعاهدة الصداقة والزمالة عام 1818 ، تلاه إلغاء المجتمعات الصينية ومنع توسع السلطة البريطانية. أثر تطبيق البيروقراطية الاستعمارية التي أدت إلى التحديث على التغييرات في النظام البيروقراطي في سلطنة سامباس، بما في ذلك التغييرات في المجال الإداري، وتنفيذ الحكومة بنظام حكومي متناقض (أنظمة حكومية مباشرة وغير مباشرة) وتجنيد المسؤولين الذين تم تعديلهم حسب الأذواق الاستعمارية. تهدف الطبيعة المتناقضة للبيروقراطية إلى الحفاظ على هيمنة ومكان الاستعمار الهولندي كبنية فوقية .ونتيجة لذلك، توجد علاقة راعية-عميل بين الحكومتين الاستعمارية والتقليدية. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penegakan kekuasaan kolonial di Kesultanan Sambas dan menganalisis pengaruh sistem birokrasi kolonial terhadap perubahan sistem birokrasi di Kesultanan Sambas. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan multidisipliner yaitu pendekatan historis sebagai pendekatan utama dibantu dengan pendekatan ilmu-ilmu sosial seperti pendekatan sosiologis, politik, antropologis dan ekonomi. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode historis mencakup empat langkah yaitu heuristik, verifikasi, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penegakan kekuasaan kolonial di Kesultanan Sambas dimulai dengan perjanjian persahabatan dan persekutuan tahun 1818, dilanjutkan dengan menghapus Kongsi-kongsi Cina dan mencegah perluasan kekuasaan Inggris. Pelaksanaan birokrasi kolonial yang sudah mengarah ke modernisasi kemudian mempengaruhi perubahan sistem birokrasi di Kesultanan Sambas antara lain perubahan wilayah administrasi, pelaksanaan pemerintahan dengan sistem pemerintahan yang bersifat ambivalent (sistem pemerintahan secara langsung dan tidak langsung) dan rekrutmen pejabat disesuaikan selera kolonial. Sifat birokrasi yang ambivalent tersebut bertujuan untuk mempertahankan hegemoni dan kedudukan kolonial Belanda sebagai superstructure. Akibatnya terjalin hubungan patron-client antara pemerintah kolonial dan tradisional.

Artikel ini membincangkan pembauran antara kaum bumiputra, terutama masyarakat Sunda dan etnis Cina di Kota Garut, Jawa Barat sejak zaman kolonial Belanda hingga post kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia (RI) 1945. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode sejarah yang terdiri empat tahap, yakni heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Untuk membantu eksplanasi tentang pembauran itu, penulis menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi, antropologi, psikologi, dan ilmu politik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada dua faktor yang menyulitkan terjadinya pembauran antara kaum bumiputra dan kelompok etnis Cina. Faktor pertama, yaitu akar sejarah yakni status kelompok etnis Cina lebih tinggi daripada golongan bumiputra. Faktor kedua, perasaan Chinese Culturalism yang masih tertanam kuat di kalangan  kelompok etnis Cina. Akibatnya, perasaan itu mengarahkan mereka kepada sikap untuk senantiasa berorientasi kepada budaya leluhurnya yang memang sudah tua. Kedua faktor tersebut menyebabkan eksistensi masyarakat etnis Cina di Kota Garut, baik sebelum dan sesudah kemerdekaan Indonesia. This article discusses integration between indigenous, especially Sundanese people and group of Chinese ethnic in Garut City, West Java since the Dutch colonial era until the post independence of the Republic of Indonesia (RI) 1945. Method used in this research is  historical method consisting of four steps, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. To assist the explanation of the assimilation, the author uses social sciences, especially sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science. The conclusion of this research  appears to be two factors causing the difficulty of asimilation between Sundanese people and ethnic Chinese group. The first factor, the historical roots in which the Dutch Colonial Government classified Chinese ethnic group into higher position of legal and social than Sundanese people. The second factor, a strong sense of Chinese Culturalism that is still embedded in Chinese ethnic groups, namely a sense that always glorifies the culture of its ancestors. As a result, that a sense leads them to the attitude of always being oriented to the ancient culture of their ancestors. Both factors led to the existence of Chinese ethnic communities in Garut City, increasing prominently, both before and after Indonesian independence.

The events of the Gayo-Alas War that occurred between the Gayo-Alas people against the Dutch colonial marked the end of the Aceh War. This bloody conflict also marked the Gayo Plateau region, especially Takengon, which was occupied by the Dutch colonial authorities. Since then, Takengon, which was originally just an inland region of Aceh, has begun to grow, especially its infrastructure. Therefore, this study aims to examine the infrastructure that was built in the colonial era (1904-1942). The method used in this study is the historical method, which consisted of five analytical stages, namely topic selection, heuristics, leverage, interpretation, and historiography. The results of the study show that since the Dutch colonial came to the Gayo Takengon Plateau in 1904, Takengon was more developed comparing to previous period, all of which was inseparable from infrastructure development by the Dutch colonial. Some of the infrastructures were built successfully, there were the main road between Bireuen and Takengon, central government, Dutch and Tionghoa society, market, and Dutch school.  The development of infrastructure also has had an impact for Takengon's area, such as the new society along Bireuen-Takengon highway, and the construction of Takengon-Gayo Lues' road. In addition, the opening of the road was aimed at opening the Dutch plantations and the private sector has  made the emergence of the society's settlements, like in Redelong, Pondok Baru (Janarata), Lampahan and Isaq.

This study aims to present a historiographic review of the text of the Yellow Tale in the State of Gagelang (hereinafter abbreviated as HSK). This research uses the historical method. The steps used in this study are (1) heuristics; (2) criticism; and (3) historiography. The results of research on this study are known that (1) In the text HSK tells about Sunan Kuning to his descendants and various conflicts in it; (2) The history of the tumult not only describes the conflict between Java and China, but also indicates the interference of the Dutch colonial involvement in it; (3) The relevance between the HSK text and the history of Pacer commotion. The relevance is illustrated by the existence of relevant and interrelated events between the HSK text and the history of Pacer commotion. During this time, the discourse that continues to be "echoed" by the colonial side is the commotion of Chinatown is a dark history for humanity in the archipelago. In fact, the discourse continues to be reproduced when various riots erupted in the country. The discourse that is raised is always based on ethnicity, religion, race, and intergroup. Thus, the presence of the HSK text is an important witness for the history of humanity on earth in the archipelago. In addition, HSK also uses the background of the banner story. It shows that history is not always written by "winners". Because the banner story is a folklore that is so closely related to the life of the Indonesian people. Therefore, a comprehensive and integral study of HSK and other historical texts is absolutely necessary to be carried out in order to reveal the true historical facts. So, Indonesian people can re-recognize the history of their ancestors, both through colonial sources and from the perspective of the nation's own historiography.

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the analysis of time experience and futuremaking through historical case studies in colonial Mexico. Colonial Mexico developed a culture of innovation, human aspiration, and futuremaking that was subsequently forgotten in part because it did not fit with later definitions of modernity and innovation as secular phenomena and things untethered to the past or tradition. This choice of historical method and topics is driven by a desire to step outside some of the dominant paradigms in the study of Latin America and colonialism in general. Examining the relationship between past, present, and future offers a way to reconsider Mexico's colonial era, its subsequent historical development, and how people have understood that history.
