Bijna drieduizend Molukse mannen, vrouwen en kinderen komen in 1951 in Drenthe terecht. Ze wonen er verspreid over zeven barakkenkampen en kennen elkaar in het begin soms nauwelijks. Wat de toekomst brengt is onduidelijk. Gaan ze terug naar de Molukken of blijven ze in Nederland? Met de verhuizing naar de Molukse wijken in Assen, Bovensmilde en Hoogeveen verdwijnt het laatste sprankje hoop op terugkeer. Jonge Molukkers komen in opstand. Tijdens de Molukse acties in de jaren ’70 zijn de ogen van de hele wereld op Drenthe gericht. In dit boek lees je hoe de Molukkers in Nederland terechtkwamen, hoe de zeven woonoorden in Drenthe van elkaar verschilden, wat de Molukse acties in Drenthe teweegbrachten, hoe de Molukkers ondertussen langzaam maar zeker integreerden en welke ontwikkeling hun identiteit doormaakte. Tussendoor maakt de lezer kennis met zeven jonge, ambitieuze Molukkers uit Drenthe. Ze vertellen over hun familiegeschiedenis en hun ambities voor de toekomst.

On 16 April the exhibition Menyala – The extraordinary history of the Moluccans in Drenthe opens in the Drents Museum in Assen. The exhibition – co-created with seven young Moluccans with roots in Drenthe – sheds a different light on Moluccan history as we usually know it. After the war of independence in Indonesia, large groups of Moluccans came to the Netherlands. Of the nearly 13,000 Moluccans who arrived in 1951, about 3,000 ended up in Drenthe. Most were young and full of dreams for the future. The exhibition Menyala – Malay for ‘shine’ – uses a hundred objects, videos, photos and spoken word to tell about the pain and sorrow, but also about the ambitions and ideals. It highlights the sensitive past with its raw edges, but also the passion and resilience of the Moluccan community. The exhibition will be on display until 1 October 2023.
