Deze week verschijnt onderstaand boek, met daarin een hoofdstuk over vier eeuwen (ja, je leest het goed: 1600-1940) petities en petitioneren in Nederland.

Blij dat deze samenwerking met onder andere @maartjejanse.bsky.social @jorisoddens.bsky.social en @jorisvdt.bsky.social eindelijk te lezen is!

I was indeed very happy. Very good questions I thought. I think my point is not that we should be surprised about Dutch ships, but dismissing them as “only the carrying trade” ignores how essential they were for the Barbados credit market (I think? I need to finetune it a bit still)

Personally, I am more hopeful for Gelderland…! As the only Duchy it was the highest ranking province in the Republic. So its members presided over all committees in the States General - including the colonial committees. Yet, we know hardly anything about the province’s ties to slavery.

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.

Sneak peak? “Turns out Russel Menard missed Dutch creditors when he only looked at archives in England and Barbados”
