  • Migration, Trade, and Slavery in an Expanding World

    Wim Klooster, P C EmmerBOOKMigration, Trade, and Slavery in…2009Citada por: 5

    The twelve essays explore three connected aspects of European expansion in the period between 1500 and 1900 - migration, trade, and slavery - with some attention given to present-day echoes from that era. The book's first section deals with European migration to transatlantic and Asian destinations, the second and third sections focus on the Atlantic slave trade and representations of slavery, and the final section analyzes the demise and legacy …

  • A Deus ex Machina Revisited

    P C Emmer, P Emmer et al.BOOKA Deus ex Machina Revisited2006

    The effects of the expansion of Europe have fascinated historians and economists, as well as the public at large, for centuries. One of the most intriguing and controversial effects of Europe's expansion has been the trade that resulted from this movement out of Europe and into other regions of the world. The role of foreign trade in Europe's economic growth—and especially in its industrialization—has long been hotly contested. This volume has as…

  • Europe and the immigration debate

    Open AccessP C EmmerARTICLEEuropean Review2004

    The European debate on immigration is marred by stereotypes, such as the supposition that Europe is full, that asylum seekers can be separated from economic immigrants, that the sending countries suffer from brain drain and that immigrants take jobs away from the population in the receiving countries. Many of these arguments can be reversed, but recently immigrants have indeed been costly to the EU taxpayer. However, demographic decline will forc…

  • European Expansion and Unfree Labour

    Open AccessP C EmmerARTICLEItinerario1997Citada por: 2

    Did the expansion of Europe create large numbers of unfree labourers in Africa, Asia and the New World or was the use of unfree labour in a colonial setting nothing else but an adaptation to the labour traditions of the non-European world? It is fascinating to see how unique free labour actually was in the early modern world. Historically speaking, free labour was usually the exception and unfree labour the rule, especially when we consider non-E…

  • Caribbean Plantations and Indentured Labour, 1640–1917

    Open AccessP C EmmerARTICLEItinerario1997Referências: 7

    In surveying the negative effects of the expansion of Europe it seems difficult to find an area which was worse affected than the Caribbean. The autochthonous population of Amerindians had been decimated on a scale unknown elsewhere. Rather than becoming an attractive refuge for migrant Europeans, the Caribbean became the home of plantation agriculture, which ruthlessly destroyed the existing environment and small scale farming. To top it all, th…

  • Mortality and the Javanese Diaspora

    Open AccessP C Emmer, Ralph ShlomowitzARTICLEItinerario1997Referências: 6

    During the past few decades, many scholars have studied the various demographic consequences of European overseas expansion. One focus of attention has been the fatal impact of European expansion on the native populations of the New World. Before contact with Europeans, the native populations of the Americas, Australia, and the Pacific were generally free of infectious diseases, and so lacked immunity to diseases such as smallpox, measles, and in…

  • Capitalism Mistaken? The Economic Decline of Surinam and the Plantation Loans, 1773–1850; A Rehabilitation

    Open AccessP C EmmerARTICLEItinerario1996Citada por: 2Referências: 6

    Has Europe grown rich because it expanded overseas? According to recent scholarship the answer must be no. During the period between 1500 and 1750 Europe's economy did not provide its inhabitants with a per capita income that was significantly higher than that in other parts of the world. Europe – and only the Western part of it – started to become richer after the Industrial Revolution from 1750 onwards. This far most attempts at linking the exp…

    Isert's book, in the form of twelve letters evidently written for publication, has excited interest ever since it first appeared in 1788. Modern scholars have long had a great interest in, and need for, careful translations of early Danish sources on Africa; but though Isert's text was long ago translated into other languages, this is its first translation from the original German into English. Modern scholars have become interested in Isert beca…

  • The Two Expansion Systems in the Atlantic

    Open AccessP C EmmerARTICLEItinerario1991Citada por: 2

    It was Charles Boxer who has characterized the struggle between the Portuguese and the Dutch about their respective positions in world trade as the First Global War. In summing up the results at around 1650 Boxer contended that the Portuguese had won in the New World, that the Dutch had won in Asia, while the two countries had reached a stalemate in Africa. This conclusion is correct only within the political domain. In fighting the Portuguese an…

    The ethnic composition of the contemporary world has become very confusing. Recently, the thirty years' anniversary of the Cuban revolution was commemorated and some journalists remembered that in 1959 it was not yet clear as to whether Castro headed a nationalist or a communist insurrection against the then ruling dictator of Cuba, Batista. In fact, at the time a commentator of the New York Times made much of a photograph showing a triumphant Ca…
