The Dutch Overseas Empire, 1600–1800
How did the Dutch Empire compare with other imperial enterprises? And how was it experienced by the indigenous peoples who became part of this colonial power? At the start of the seventeenth century, the Dutch Republic emerged as the centre of a global empire that stretched along the edges of continents and connected societies surrounding the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. In the Dutch Empire, ideas of religious tolerance and scientific curiosity we…
Dutch Overseas Empire, 1600-1800
Barriers Instead of Bridges
In this article I discuss intercontinental migration during the early modern period. The discovery of the New World sparked a large-scale movement lasting more than four centuries. Before 1800, only 2 to 3 million Europeans availed themselves of the opportunity to move to the New World. Colonial powers, therefore, turned to Africa and transported about 11.5 million slaves to America. After 1850 and the gradual abolition of slavery, the migration …
The Cambridge World History of Slavery
Slavery and coerced labor have been among the most ubiquitous of human institutions both in time - from ancient times to the present - and in place, having existed in virtually all geographic areas and societies. This volume covers the period from the independence of Haiti to modern perceptions of slavery by assembling twenty-eight original essays, each written by scholars acknowledged as leaders in their respective fields. Issues discussed inclu…
More than profits? The contribution of the slave trade to the Dutch economy
We assess Fatah-Black and Van Rossum’s analysis of the Dutch slave trade by detailing six 1750s voyages of the Middelburg Commercial Company. The costs of transporting captives from Africa to Suriname are explored along with their relation to the Dutch economy. We also examine the implications of the concept ‘gross margin’, which is central to Fatah-Black and Van Rossum’s work. We find that, given the nature of the transport costs, the impact of …
“As Always, The Trouble Is With The French." Britain, France, The Netherlands And The Colonial Labor Market In The 19th Century
For most of the 19th century, France and Britain were rivals in the world beyond Europe. French ideas about the suppression of the international slave trade and the abolition of slave labor were seen as a litmus test for modernity. During the twenty years between the foundation of the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade and the ending of the slave trade, innumerable arguments for and against the trade had been exchanged. Before the treat…

Introduction Colonial Trade and the European Economy
The Dutch and the Slave Americas
At the beginning of the seventeenth century no European country seemed in a better position to play a major role in establishing and profiting from the Atlantic slave economy than the Netherlands. Within a few years they were battling for control of Europe's largest source of sugar, and threatening to displace the largest national transatlantic slave trader. Yet a mere seventy-five years later the Dutch had lost their pre-eminence in the Caribbea…
General History of the Caribbean
Mythe et réalité
Trop d'historiens ont réduit le recrutement et l'emploi des travailleurs indiens sous contrat, qui remplacèrent les esclaves émancipés sur les plantations des Antilles, à un « nouvel esclavage »,pour reprendre l'expression d'un ancien vice-roi des Indes britanniques. La recherche historique permet de montrer que la vie d'un travailleur sous contrat différait de manière significative par rapport à celle d'un esclave. Tout d'abord, avec le temps, l…

Harmful Silica Fibres and Slave Demography
The demography of the free and forced migrations to the New World was dramatically different. Between 1500 and 1800 about three million Europeans migrated to the New World resulting in a resident population of about 13.5 million ex-Europeans around 1800. During the same three centuries about nine million African slaves were brought to the New World resulting in a population of only six million ex-Africans
The Economic Impact of the Dutch Expansion Overseas, 1570–1870
How much did the Dutch economy benefit from its expansion beyond the borders of Europe? The simple answer is provided by the Dutch spectators at international soccer games, when they start to encourage their team by singing about the great achievements of Piet Heyn, who as an admiral of the Dutch fleet captured the Spanish flota off the Cuban coast in 1628. This song implies that the Dutch economy was gready stimulated by a one-time injection of …
Scholarship or solidarity? The post-emancipation era in the Caribbean reconsidered
First paragraph]From a reading of Michael Craton's (1994) recent contribution to this journal on slave emancipation in the Bahamas, one is struck by two things. First, we have come a long way in the historical study of slavery compared with the analysis of the post-emancipation period. Over the past thirty years we have amassed a mountain of materials covering virtually all aspects of the system of slavery. As a consequence we have been able to r…
Dutch Primacy in World Trade, 1585-1740
Introduction The origins of Dutch world-trade hegemony The breakthrough to world primacy, 1590-1609 The Twelve Years' Truce, 1609-1621 The Dutch and the crisis of the world economy, 1621-1647 The zenith, 1647-1672 Beyond the zenith, 1672-1700 The Dutch world entrepot and the conflict of the Spanish succession, 1700-1713 Decline relative and absolute, 1713-1740 Afterglow and final collapse Conclusion
The Atlantic Slave Trade
So far, little research has been done on the effect of the Atlantic slave trade on the social and political constitution of the African societies which were involved in that trade, whether as slave selling or as slave raiding communities, or as the objects of such raids. Still, we find concentrations of population near the former slave ports — it was better to sell than to be sold — or in areas where nature, for instance in the form of mountains,…
Surinam and the Decline of the Dutch Slave Trade
The abolition of the Dutch slave trade in 1814 was an easy victory for the government, imposing that measure. There were no protests heard, as in England and France, because the Dutch slave trade had already corne to an almost complete standstill during the 18th century. Vis-à-vis the flourishing British and French slave trade the decline of the Dutch calls for an answer to the question : why ? Comparing the fluctuations in the volume of slaves, …
