African Indonesians refers to Indonesians of full or partial African ancestry.[1] They may have been born in or immigrated to Indonesia. The first wave of immigration was in the 19th century, between 1830 and 1872.[2][3]
One of the last Belanda Hitam settlement in Indonesia was in Kampung Afrikan (African Village), Pangenjurutengah, Purworejo District, Purworejo Regency. Most chose Dutch citizenship after Indonesian independence; even so, one Belanda Hitam family, descendant of a soldier called De Ruiter, used to live there whose descendant, called Eveline, married Djarno, a local Purworejo, and had three children, who later moved out. However, Eveline died in 2002, while Djarno died in 2007.[4]
