This essay is an introduction to a special section that focuses on the life and work of Anton de Kom, and especially on his seminal 1934 Wij slaven van Suriname. It forms part of a larger project that explores how a Caribbean intellectual tradition can be thought differently if greater attention is paid to the Dutch Caribbean. The essays included in the section demonstrate the shifting role that De Kom and his book have played-from the 1930s and …
How Generations Matter
In de historiografie spelen generaties een rol, en dit is zeker het geval inzake het langdurige proces van dekolonisatie. In deze forumbijdrage bespreken wij de artikelen die opeenvolgende generaties sinds 1970 over kolonialisme, imperialisme en dekolonisatie in BMGN – Low Countries Historical Review publiceerden. Deze bijdrage gaat over verschillen en continuïteiten in de onderzoekspraktijken tussen de oudere generatie historici die het kolonial…

This collection of essays takes up the question of the cultural meaning of the information and communications techno…

This term refers to some 500,000 people who since 1945 arrived in the Netherlands from Indonesia and the …
Mission Interrupted
Current debates on the canonization of historical knowledge often focus on national canons. These are criticized for their exclusively national focus and their exclusion of ‘deviant’ or dissenting memories and experiences. The histories of women and migrants, for example, have often been absent from national canons. Women’s lives were regarded as private and domestic experiences, and therefore irrelevant to a national canon defined by state forma…
