| Summary | "Merauke, en wat daaraan voorafging" by Johannes François Snelleman is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the establishment of Dutch colonial power in the southern coastal regions of New Guinea, specifically focusing on the Merauke area and its interactions with indigenous populations. It discusses the complexities of colonial encounters, indigenous resistance, and the broader implications of Dutch rule in the region. The narrative unfolds the history of Dutch expeditions and settlements in Merauke, beginning with initial forays into the area in the late 19th century. The author chronicles early interactions with the local Tugere tribes, who were notorious for their raiding and headhunting practices. Snelleman details the establishment of a colonial administrative structure, the challenges faced by settlers, and the gradual transformation of the indigenous way of life amid colonial influences. The account emphasizes the delicate balance between governance, exploration, and cultural misunderstandings that characterized the Dutch colonial experience in this remote part of New Guinea, ultimately illustrating the long-lasting impacts of imperialism on both the colonizers and the colonized.
