Batavia, which is now called Jakarta, is a city with a very long and complex history. As a center of power and trade in Southeast Asia during the VOC and Dutch colonial period, Batavia has witnessed various political, economic and social dynamics that shaped their faces to become modern capital today. It also witnesses the combination of local culture with foreign influences, creating a unique identity in Indonesian history.
Batavia from Time to Time contains a brief overview starting from Sunda Kelapa, Jayakarta, until long-lasting to Batavia. By tracing historical traces in Batavia, we can understand how this city is able to adapt and develop amidst various challenges. How many cities go through many transformations that are not only administrative, but also touch the social and cultural aspects of their society.
Being a strategic trade center, Batavia plays an important role in world spice lines. However, on the other hand, this city holds stories about colonial injustice and people's resistance to be independent from colonialism.
