war, trade, and settlement in the Seventeenth-Century Atlantic World

Hardcover || Wim Klooster || Leiden University Press

War, Trade, and Settlement in the Seventeenth-Century Atlantic World

"The Dutch Moment" demonstrates how the Dutch built and eventually lost an Atlantic empire, one stretching from their homeland in the United Provinces to the Hudson River, from Brazil and the Caribbean to Africa's Gold Coast.

Realm between Empires

The Second Dutch Atlantic, 1680-1815

2018 || Hardcover || Wim Klooster e.a. || Leiden University Press

Wim Klooster and Gert Oostindie present a fresh look at the Dutch Atlantic in the period following the imperial moment of the seventeenth century. This epoch (1680–1815), the authors argue, marked a distinct and significant era in which Dutch military power declined and Dutch colonies began to chart a more autonomous path.

The loss of Brazil and New Netherland were twin blows to Dutch imperial pretensions. Yet the Dutch Atlantic hardly faded into insignificance. Instead, the influence of th...

The Leopard, the Lion, and the Cock

colonial Memories and Monuments in Belgium

Paperback || Matthew Stanard || Leuven University Press

In Belgium, the past two decades have witnessed a growing awareness of the controversial episodes in the country’s colonial past. This volume examines the long-term effects and legacies of the colonial era on Belgium after 1960, the year the Congo gained its independence, and calls into qu...

Water

A Dutch Cultural History

2024 || Paperback || Lotte Jensen || Radboud University Press

Floating cradles, water wolves, a finger in the dike: what do stories about their struggle with the water tell us about the Dutch? For centuries the Dutch have battled with water. Time after time they managed to tame the water wolf, but they have had to deal at least as often with devastating floods. There was the Saint Elizabeth’s Day Flood of 1421, for example, and the North Sea flood of 1953. In the cultural representation of such catastrophic events, vulnerability and pride go hand in h...
