Reviews

An original and solid piece of scholarship written by people with the necessary expertise about, and in several cases personal affiliations with, the topics they write about. It is well written and accessible to people who do not have an in-depth knowledge of Dutch colonial history. --Vincent Kuitenbrouwer, University of Amsterdam
