Always, memoirs contain many important documents of the past. This memoir, more so than RA Kartini's psychological letters from the same period, dealt with far more 'external' matters from the great changes of the Dutch East Indies (Java-Indonesia) towards the end of the 19th century to the 20th century . A time that will show a lot of new things in the daily lives of indigenous people.
Of course, Ethical Politics plays a very important role. And the Djajadiningrat family is a very abundant and very valuable document. It is from this family that can be traced to the great transition of the pattern of aristocratic family education from pesantren to modern schools. The main character here is Dr. Snouck Hurgronce and the children of the Djajadiningrat family are very successful 'guinea pigs'!
This book also contains a lot of how politics is carried out by the Dutch Indian government and the politics of the nobles, including when dealing with the Cilegon rebellion of 1888 which became a great dissertation of Sartono Kartodirdjo.
