Going Dutch: The Dutch Presence in America 1609-2009: The Atlantic World, cartea 15

Joyce Goodfriend, Benjamin Schmidt, Annette Stott
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 ian 2008
This volume investigates the place of Dutch history and Dutch-derived culture in America over the last four centuries. It considers how the Dutch have fared in America, and it explores how American conceptions of Dutchness have developed, from Henry Hudson's historic voyage to Manhattan in 1609 through the rise of Dutch design at the turn of the twenty-first century. Essays probe a rich array of topics: Dutch themes in American arts and letters; the place of Dutch paintings in American collections; shifting American interests in Dutch art, literature, and architecture; the experience of Dutch immigrants in America; and the Dutch Reformed Church in America. Going Dutch presents a much needed overview of the Dutch-American experience from its beginnings to the present.

Contributors include: Julie Berger Hochstrasser, Willem Frijhoff, Joyce D. Goodfriend, Hans Krabbendam, Joseph Manca, Nancy T. Minty, Mark A. Peterson, Christopher Pierce, Judith Richardson, Louisa Wood Ruby, Benjamin Schmidt, Robert Schoone-Jongen, Annette Stott, Tity de Vries, and Dennis P. Weller.

Recenzii

"All essays are well-written, informative, and up to scholarly standards. (...) As the editors note at the end of the introduction, this volume is by no means the last word on the issue of Dutchness and Dutch-American studies. But it does break new ground in bringing heretofore seperate fields together and thus provides a platform for future research."
Jaap Jacobs, De Halve Maen 81:3 (2008) 63.

"(...)Going Dutch provides an informative new look at the place of the Dutch in American society as well as many leads and suggestions for further research."
Firth Haring Fabend, BMGN 124:3 (2009) 473-475.
