Voor De Nederlandse Boekengids schreef ik over twee nieuwe boeken over de trans-Atlantische mensenhandel, en dan met name de Afrikaanse kant ervan.

Tijd voor een bedachtzaam en genuanceerd beeld van slavernij. Voor dit boek traceren we de perspectieven van de tot slaaf gemaakten, van leven in Afrika tot opstand overzee. We openen vensters op ervaringen van kinderen, spirituele leiders en vroedvrouwen.

In our series on the Dutch defence of slavery the third contribution is by @dirkalkemade.bsky.social
He asks the pertinent question: "Why was Slavery not Abolished in 1798?"
To understand it we need to understand the distinction between anti-slavery and abolition.

The book I wrote with @fatahblack.bsky.social and Lauren Lauret about South Holland’s links to historical slavery can now be downloaded for free!
I think the provincial scope is a valuable addition to national narratives of legacies of slavery.

Straks ben ik bij NPO1 in Met Het Oog Op Morgen, om te spreken over het Venezolaanse referendum van vandaag. De Venezolaanse regering zoekt volkssteun voor de annexatie van Essequibo. Het voormalig Nederlandse gebied is in 1899 toegekend aan Guyana.

On moments like these, NZD would check in to give her view of election results & ask me how I saw things. I miss those emails. Especially now that the election was so disastrous. Etnonationalism has increased its firm grip on public debate & policies, giving room for even more institutional racism.

Mooie lezing van Elmer Kolfin over zijn nieuwe boek. Nieuw (goed!) licht op de onbekende, niet zo mooie, maar interessante Batavencyclus in het Paleis op de Dam aka Koninklijk Paleis in Amsterdam.

It looks like Venezuela is preparing the ground for annexation of the region. This has been going on for years. The Essequibo region (called Guyana Essequiba by Venezuela) is three quarters of the territory of Guyana. Not very densely populated, but oil rich and covered by rainforest.

This evening I'll return to the place of my birth, the high-rise formerly known as Gliphoeven. The flat was the point of arrival for many postcolonial migrants from Suriname. I don't know why we also ended up there. Funny to go back there now as an expert of Suriname history, colonialism and racism.

Sad news. Re-reading this piece by @fatahblack.bsky.social & Jess Roitman because it typifies NZD so well: an encounter outside the Leiden library, where NZD was reading a Sranan-German dictionary, because "language is an avenue into the mental world of the past." www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Reading her work, listening to her speak or just in a casual conversation - she always reminded me why I want to be a historian. Truly a life to celebrate. Natalie Zemon Davis will be missed by many.

1/ So much to celebrate about the life of Natalie Zemon Davis - a long life well lived to the end & an extraordinary impact over decades that secures a long legacy. She loomed large in my career from when I decided not to do a PhD with her a Princeton but follow my boyfriend to Hopkins instead:-)

I'm loving how Museum De Fundatie made space for connecting early modern and contemporary art. Very much worth a visit. Upstairs there is a show of Ukrainian art, across the twentieth century to the present. Powerful works & space for connection & reflection.
