Margreet in Nederlansch Indie is a historical fiction novel that explores the life of Margreet, a mixed Indo-European girl growing up in the colonial Dutch East Indies. Told from her first-person point of view, the novel captures her inner conflicts as she navigates between two worlds, neither fully accepted by the Dutch nor by the native Indonesian. The objective of this creative work is to explore the emotional journey of identity formation through the lens of psychosocial development, especially in the context of adolescence. Instead of focusing only on cultural or racial identity, the novel highlights the internal struggle for belonging and self-compassion. Inspired by postcolonial theory, the concept of hybrid identity and my grandmother’s story, this work was developed through observation, interviews, and document study to ensure contextual and emotional authenticity. The results of this creative work show that the novel successfully gives voice to those who feel emotionally and socially marginalized by being a place for them to find comfort, self-compassion, and reminding them that being different is not a problem.
