Focusing on the work of leading anti-Nazi resisters, John W. Kluge Fellow Jennifer L. Foray will examine how World War II transformed Dutch perceptions of their centuries-old empire. As Dutch resisters planned for a post-war world, they anticipated a new, harmonious relationship between the Netherlands and its most prized colony in the East Indies. Instead, the Netherlands embarked upon a violent decolonization process. Foray will discuss how the resister's vision was trammeled.
