Description:

"Collection of four original and six previously published (and revised) essays on some major themes in Dutch Caribbean history. Topics include slavery, decolonization and nationalism, migration, and Dutch Caribbean identity. Central question is how a cluster of different societies has developed through the centuries with such 'remarkable ambivalence,' being simultaneously Dutch and Caribbean. Intended for a general audience"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
