Sömürgeciliğe Önemli Darbe Vuran Roman: Yayımlanışının 150. Yılında Max Havelaar
Novel of Colonialism: 150th Anniversary of Max Havelaar

Summary/Abstract: In this article, the famous novel Max Havelaar of the Dutch author Eduard Douwes Dekker (author’s pseudonym is Multatuli, meaning “I have suffered much” in Latin) will be studied from the perspective of imperialism, colonialism, Dutch colonial history, literature and culture. The theoretical framework which is posited by Edward Said as an extension of the orientalism, and in which he scrutinizes the phenomena culture and imperialism in the same context, will be primarily used to understand better an enlightened and literary figure Multatuli. However, at the same time it will be used to relativate the approach itself efficiently.
