About The Book
Aluk To Dolo shows how a family history became intertwined with the colonial history of the former Dutch East Indies. The story is set in Central Celebes (now Sulawesi), Indonesia, the home of the Toraja people, where the grandfather of Ringel Goslinga was appointed missionary doctor in 1933. In this exceptionally layered book, a hybrid collection of elements from the present and the past are woven together to create a kaleidoscopic view that invites the reader to explore.
