Date sent: Wed, 21 Sep 1994 10:53:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Ken Pomeranz <kpomeran@benfranklin.hnet.uci.edu> Subject: novels for world history and lit To: h-world <h-world@msu.edu> Though I haven't used it in a world history class, I've often thought that Multatuli's _Max Havelaar_ might work well -- particularly because the shifting back and forthe between Holland and Java. On the other hand, the sentimentality, bordering at times on condescension towards the "our innocent natives" worries me a bit. Has anyone ever used it in a class? How did it go? Ken Pomeranz U.C.
