A prime example are the initiatives by Johannes van den Bosch, who first in 1818 established \u2018peat colonies(!)\u2019 in the Netherlands, where the urban poor were transported to become industrious agrarian workers.<\/p>\n<p>In 1830, the same Van den Bosch introduced the Cultivation System in the Netherlands Indies, likewise, to increase Javanese peasants\u2019 industriousness. During the nineteenth century, ideals and practices of the male breadwinner started to pervade Dutch working-class households, and child and women\u2019s labour laws were issued.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7267\" style=\"width: 220px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7267\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7267  \" src=\"https:\/\/arbark.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/meerkerk-seminariebild-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"158\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Weefster Indonesi\u00eb, Fotografi fr\u00e5n IISG:s samlingar.

What is more, they presented the inherent differences between Indonesian and Dutch women as legitimation for the protection of the latter: a fine example of what Ann Stoler and Frederick Cooper have called a \u2018grammar of difference\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Elise van Nederveen Meerkerk is Associate Professor at the Rural and Environmental History Department of Wageningen University, The Netherlands.
