Kina (1896) is een roman geschreven door Karel Wessel van Gorkom. Het verhaal speelt zich af in Nederlands-Indi����� en gaat over de jonge plantage-eigenaar Jeroen van Berkel, die verliefd wordt op een inheems meisje genaamd Kina. Hun relatie wordt bemoeilijkt door de culturele en raciale verschillen tussen hen en de sociale normen van de koloniale samenleving. Het boek beschrijft de complexe relatie tussen de Nederlandse kolonisten en de inheemse bevolking en de impact van het kolonialisme op individuen en gemeenschappen. Kina is een belangrijk werk in de Nederlandse koloniale literatuur en biedt een kritische blik op de koloniale samenleving en de ongelijkheid die daarin heerste.This Book Is In Dutch.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
