Buku ini menceritakan perihal cara orang berinteraksi dengan monumen dan legenda Pieter Erberveld. Kedua tulisan yang ada di buku ini menyajikan pendekatan yang sangat berbeda untuk melihat sejarah monumen Erberveld.

In the early hours of 1722, there was a Eurasian who had reportedly prepared to revolt against the Dutch in Oud Batavia. Unexpectedly, the plan was leaked and reached Dutch ears. He was immediately arrested, tried, and executed in a very cruel manner. Pulled with two horses and ran in opposite directions, his body was ripped apart, split into two parts and his head chopped off. After the execution, the VOC authorities erected a monument commemorating the revolt. This monument decorated with a skull was the monument of Pieter Erberveld.

This book is about how people interacted with the monument and the legends of Pieter Erberveld. The two papers published here present two very different approaches to seeing the history of the Erberveld monument
