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...

Proportional Systems in the History of Architecture
A Critical Reconsideration
2018 || Hardcover || Matthew A. Cohen e.a. || Leiden University Press
Since the origins of architectural history, proportional systems have served as objects of belief and modes of iconographical communication. Whether they are capable of fulfilling more tangible functions remains a matter of debate today, for this ancient and diverse belief system continues to infiltrate architectural thinking in subtle and sometimes surprising ways.
In this collection of original essays, twenty-six leading scholars reconsider the long history of proportional systems across nu...

The Lives of Cold War Afro-Asianism
2022 || Hardcover || Carolien Stolte e.a. || Leiden University Press
The Afro-Asianism of the early Cold War has long remained buried under the narrative of Bandung, homogenising and subverting the different visions of post-colonial worldmaking that co-existed alongside the Bandung project. This book turns the lens on these other visions, and the transnational interactions which emerged from various other gatherings of the 1950s and 1960s that existed beyond the realm of high diplomacy, while blurring the lines between state and non-state projects. It examines...

Babad Tanah Jawi, The Chronicle of Java
The Revised Proze Version of C.F. Winter Sr
2022 || Hardcover || Willem Remmelink || Leiden University Press || met inkijkexemplaar
The revised prose version of the Babad Tanah Jawi was originally prepared by C.F. Winter Sr. (1799-1859), with the twofold aim of providing Javanese-language teaching material and of setting a standard for formal Javanese prose writing. At that time, Javanese was almost exclusively written in verse, which was not a medium suitable for the modern world that was dawning on Java. Although Winter achieved his aims in other ways and publications, the present text was mostly forgotten, or was just ...
