<p><em>Nusantara</em> is a new Dig series on the history of Indonesia: a hinge in the world system where colonialism and revolution have decisively shaped the trajectory of global history. This episode traces a long period of European plunder and domination that began with the Portuguese and then continued, for centuries, under the Dutch—a story stretching from the murderous mercantilism of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) seeking to monopolize the spice trade to a modern colonial administration profiting from plantations, petroleum, and countless commodities. The first installment features Rianne Subijanto and Made Supriatma. Other scholars of the archipelago will join us in the episodes that follow.</p> <p>Support The Dig at <a href="http://Patreon.com/TheDig" target="_blank">Patreon.com/TheDig</a></p> <p>Sign up for <em>SUDAN: Confront Empire Together</em> by April 5th at <a href="http://comrades.education" target="_blank">comrades.education</a> </p> <p>Find <em>Boom to Bust: How Streaming Broke Hollywood Writers</em> at <a href="http://UCPress.edu" target="_blank">UCPress.edu</a> </p>

<p>Featuring Ben Mabie and Salar Mohandesi on what the war on Iran tells us about US imperialism, and why the US doesn’t have a massive anti-war movement even amid historic anti-war public sentiment. Capitalist states have changed war-making in ways that insulate imperialism against popular resistance. We must make movements that can thrive and win under new conditions. </p> <p>Find <em>Venezuela in Crisis</em> at <a href="http://haymarketbooks.org" target="_blank">haymarketbooks.org</a> </p> <p>Find <em>Anti-Eviction</em> at <a href="http://UCPress.edu" target="_blank">UCPress.edu</a></p> <p>Support The Dig at <a href="http://Patreon.com/TheDig" target="_blank">Patreon.com/TheDig</a></p> <p>Dig party in London with <em>Equator</em> magazine this Friday March 13.
