However, the thirst of obtaining excessive lands and the whole expropriation process have now been questioned. In the research, I aim to focus on the aftermath that land grabbing has brought to the locals in their daily lives. In my findings, I’ve found out that for both cases, for those who win and those who lose their lands, the impacts are there in the environment they live in and the networks they had before, and therefore, I argue that people’s emotional bonds to their lands and homes should also be taken into consideration when major projects are considered. The outcome of this research is presented in both written and audio-visual components. For the video, please refer to the following link: http://youtu.be/pyaMvMKWkscShow less

Ik beantwoord deze vraag door eerst een impressie van de historische context te geven. Vervolgens bespreek ik de daaruit volgende integratie van de Indische Nederlanders in Nederland, waarbij Indisch zwijgen en hun manier van aanpassen centraal staan. Daarna komt mijn casus uitgebreid aan bod: de zoektocht van mijn tante naar het verleden van haar ouders, uitgaande van persoonlijke objecten uit de koffer van haar vader. Tenslotte bespreek ik voorbeelden van resultaten van zoektochten naar het verzwegen verleden van de eerste generatie en manieren van generatieoverdracht van de tweede en derde generatie Indische Nederlanders. Mijn casus loopt als een rode draad door de scriptie heen.Show less
