Une histoire à parts égales, tramée avec des sources non exclusivement européennes, est proposée ici comme remède à l'européocentrisme. Le récit des premiers contacts entre Hollandais, Malais et Javanais au tournant du XVIIe siècle montre que les explorateurs découvrent à Java une société complexe et cosmopolite, insérée dans des réseaux commerciaux et animée de débats politiques sophistiqués. …
