Brothers in Arms, Partners in Trade: Dutch-Indigenous Alliances in the Atlantic World, 1595-1674: The Atlantic World, cartea 23

Recent studies on Dutch encounters with indigenous peoples in the Americas and West Africa have taken a narrow regional approach rather than a comparative Atlantic perspective. This book, based on Dutch archival records and primary and secondary sources in multiple languages, integrates indigenous peoples more fully in the Dutch Atlantic by examining the development of formal relations between the Dutch and non-Europeans in Brazil, the Gold Coast, West Central Africa, and New Netherland from the first Dutch overseas voyages in the 1590s until the dissolution of the West India Company in 1674. By taking an Atlantic perspective this study of Dutch-indigenous alliances shows that the support and cooperation of indigenous peoples was central to Dutch overseas expansion in the Atlantic.

Recenzii

"A key strength of Meuwese’s study is its comparative analysis of [the WIC] imperial projects. Another is his determination to bring indigenous peoples to the centre of an Atlantic historiography more often concerned with shipping, European migration, imperial administration, and the adaptation of political and religious culture. [...] Meuwese demonstrates an enviable confidence when dealing with diverse sources and historiographies which he knits together well."
Dr Simon Middleton, Reviews in History, no. 1305

"As a survey and a starting point for further discussion and research this authoritative book will prove indispensable to many researchers, especially those without access to works written in Dutch."
Jaap Jacobs, BMGN - Low Countries Historical Review, Vol. 128-4 (2013)

"Meuwese's account offers a fine overview of the Dutch West India Company's emergence and history, a detailed narrative of native affairs in each of these four regions, and an insightful comparison of them. In the end, readers will find themselves better informed of Dutch-native interaction throughout the Atlantic and challenged to reconsider Dutch-Indians affairs in New Netherlands in light of this Atlantic context" Paul Otto, De Halve Maen, Vol. 86, No. 2, Summer 2013
