Madelon H. Lulofs’s Rubber is a vivid and semi-autobiographical portrayal of life on a rubber plantation in East Sumatra during the late 1920s, capturing both the intoxicating wealth and the underlying tensions of colonial planter society. Set against the looming economic collapse of 1929, the novel illuminates the rigid social hierarchies, cultural dissonance, and racial prejudices that defined the planter community, while giving voice to the marginalized Indonesian laborers through empathetic narrative reflection. Upon its 1931 release, Rubber caused a sensation across Europe, rapidly becoming a bestseller, translated into at least fifteen languages, and later adapted for stage and film—a testament to its raw insight into colonial life and its unsettled reception both in the Indies and abroad.
