Mark Dingemanse on Mythryl: “Never heard about these atrocities at school. Learnt of the Banda…”

Never heard about these atrocities at school. Learnt of the Banda massacre much later, when I read Wallace and found that today, Bandanese is only spoken on the Kei islands 400km away from Banda, where some survivors fled Down with JP Coen statues!

Last heartbreaking example because it should be brought to light what vile things the Dutch have done and are still largely proud of. > The population of the Banda Islands prior to Dutch conquest is generally estimated to have been around 13,000-15,000 people...
