| dc.description.abstract | A reconsideration of Anton Mussert, party leader of the Dutch Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging (NSB, National-Socialist Movement), who wrote and spoke regarding the significance of the Indies to the Netherlands before and during World War II. An Indies branch of the NSB was established in 1930, and its attempts to shape a program and message illustrate the dilemmas encountered by a fascist party in a colonial outpost. The colonial authorities in the Indies sought to control the potentially inflammatory rhetoric of the fascists, and Mussert dissuaded NSB members in the Indies from criticizing and challenging those same authorities. Mussert wanted to protect and sustain the Indies branch of the NSB in large part because funds collected from it helped support his efforts in Holland. As the war approached, the party splintered, divided by disagreements over the role and status of Indo (mixed-blood) members of the Indies NSB, who constituted 75 percent of the membership. Anti-semitism and intolerance for “race-mixing” increased. “In the end, the Indies NSB was doomed to fall on its own sword.” | |
