Aletta Jacobs, "In the Philippines" -- Rouffaer's diary -- Hendrik P.N. Muller, "The Philippines".

Around 1910, three Dutch intellectuals separately visited Manila. Feminist doctor Aletta Jacobs, orientalist scholar Gerret Rouffaer, and ethnologist Hendrik Muller were all curious to see how the Americans were implementing their colonial policy of “benevolent assimilation.” In this book their reports are for the first time made available, adding to the social history of the city and the country.
