Fifty Years Later: Capitalism, Modernity, and Antislavery in the Dutch Orbit: Caribbean Series, cartea 15

Gert Oostindie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 1994
The Dutch slave trade, slavery and abolitionism have long remained unduly neglected issues in the burgeoning international debate on capitalism, modernity, and antislavery. Fifty Years Later now offers a thorough and wide-ranging discussion of antislavery in the Netherlands and in the Dutch colonial world, and also provides a fresh contribution to the ongoing debate on the relationship between abolitionism and economic, political and cultural modernization in the Western world at large.

The contributors to this volume are Seymour Drescher, Pieter C. Emmer, Stanley L. Engerman, Edwin Horlings, Gerrit J. Knaap, Maarten Kuitenbrouwer, Gert Oostindie, Robert Ross, Angelie Sens, and Alex van Stipriaan.

Recenzii

‘No aspect of the global history of slavery and emancipation has been so neglected and misunderstood as the “case of the Dutch.” Gert Oostindie’s volume of essays on the Dutch abolition of slavery from the Caribbean to the Cape Colony and Southeast Asia therefore fills an immense Black Hole and sheds much light on the continuing debates over capitalism and slavery. This is a work that no student of slavery or antislavery should ignore.’
David Brion Davis, Pulitzer Prize Winner, author of The Problem of Slavery in Western Culture, The Problem of Slavery in the Age of Revolution, and Slavery and Human Progress.

‘The collection is about abolition everywhere, not just in the parts of the world under Dutch control. There could be no clearer demonstration of the virtues of global comparative history.’
Davis Eltis, author of Economic Growth and the Ending of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

‘An insightful and wide-ranging analysis of the Dutch emancipation which came late in the abolitionist movement, despite the fact that the Netherlands was one of the earliest and most successful of the capitalist nations of Europe.’
Robert W. Fogel, Nobel Prize Laureate, author of Without Consent or Constraint; The Rise and Fall of American Slavery and (with Stanley Engerman), Time on the Cross; The Economics of American Negro Slavery.
