Abstract
This paper is the second part of the two articles that discuss the controversy
over the conversion of religion in the family of Shaykh Yusuf of Makassar
after being exiled in South Africa during the Dutch colonial period at the end
of the seventeenth century. This second part provides a critical and holistic
analysis of the historical sources and historians’ initial arguments regarding
the two families, Shaykh Yusuf and his in-laws. This paper also tries to
review the main arguments of this paper so as not to get caught up in excessive
demystification. In addition, it also discusses the implementation of the Dutch
colonial policies as well as the issue of poverty and the practice of marriage
policies that have contributed to settling this conversion problem.
