"Nog eens: de millioenen uit Deli" by J. van den Brand is a critical examination of the socio-economic conditions in Deli, a region in Sumatra, written in the early 20th century. The text reveals the harsh realities faced by workers in the area, contrasting the perceived prosperity depicted in colonial reports with the underlying exploitation and suffering that characterize life for the laborers. The author addresses industry stakeholders and colonial authorities, challenging them to confront the injustices perpetuated under the guise of economic progress. At the start of the work, the author shares reflections on a prior pamphlet that sparked significant outrage among those profitably invested in Deli. He explores the incredulity that many felt upon hearing allegations of worker mistreatment, contrasting popular perceptions of a thriving region with the grim truths faced by local laborers. The introductory sections outline the author's defiance against accusations of exaggeration, asserting the necessity of addressing the oppressive realities inflicted upon the workers by the colonial system. The opening sets a tone of determined advocacy for change, aiming to draw attention to systemic injustices while calling for accountability from those in power.
