Wat te doen
What is to be done? Debates within the Menshevik Martov Club in 1931-1932 This article explores the speeches and debates held in the Menshevik ‘Martov Club’ in Berlin in the final years of the Weimar Republic. In doing so, it presents a nuanced understanding of the ideological, cognitive and emotional factors that motivated Menshevik worldviews. The debates show that competing views within the party were founded upon fundamental differences in th…
De U van omvolking
U is for omvolking. A Conceptual History of the Germanic Branch of Population ‘Replacement’ Ideology The rise of omvolking as a political concept in the Low Countries raises questions about its history, and notably its genealogical connection to Umvolkung. This article traces the genealogy of Umvolkung, thus connecting contemporary population ‘replacement’ discourse to a larger German intellectual and political history. Through conceptual and arc…
De verrassing van augustus 1830
The August Surprise of 1830. The Belgian Revolt as Intelligence Failure The Belgian Revolt of August 1830 took Dutch authorities by surprise. Much has been written about the background of the revolt and its perpetrators, but this paper focuses on the lack of Dutch foresight: Why did the Dutch and their strategic partners not see the Belgian uprising coming? Did they not anticipate the Belgian insurrection in 1829, or at least in July 1830, after …
Stemmen van het platteland
Voices from the countryside. Audio collections and their value for Dutch rural history In the second half of the twentieth century folklorists travelled the Dutch countryside to record local dialects, stories, and practices. Like their colleagues elsewhere in Europe, they placed their tape recorders on numerous kitchen tables and encouraged ordinary people to talk about pre-war village life. In the 1970s there were oral history interviews too, of…

Prince or Pembekel
This article examines the provenance of an oil painting, looted from the Cakranegara palace of Lombok by Dutch forces in 1894, and returned to Indonesia in 2023. The figure in the painting had long been assumed to be Anak Agung Made Karangasem (?-1894), a Balinese prince from Cakranegara and a key figure in the Lombok conflict. This assumption can be traced back to collector Théodore Delprat (1851-1932) who appraised it (along with many other loo…
Wie zijn ‘wij’? Breuklijnen in een nationaal verhaal
Who are ‘we’? Fracture lines within a national narrative: the flood of 1926. The emotional responses elicited by moments of crisis have attracted recent and increasingly interdisciplinary attention. When emotional discourses and practices during crisis are investigated in relation to ideas of national identity, however, one method is critically overlooked. This article argues for the value of the history of emotions in this discussion. The fact t…

Toch goed dat er politie is
Good thing there’s police, after all. The rise of the police psychologist and their contribution to public-oriented municipal policing in Amsterdam, 1945-1993 Urban interactions with the public provide a way forward for Dutch police historiography. In 1966 police rooted in a parochial post-war culture clashed violently with nonconformist youth in Amsterdam. This led to the hiring of police psychologists to ameliorate relations with the public. Th…
Van Hollandsdenken tot dekolonisatie
From ‘Hollandsdenken’ to decolonization: science, knowledge and the Dutch Empire This review discusses recent trends in the historiography of science, knowledge and colonialism, and how they have been applied to the Dutch Empire. It shows how historians have characterized the relation between science and colonialism in the last decades. The review begins by identifying two broad clusters: The first emphasized how science thrived through the netwo…
Nederland, land van olie en gas
The Netherlands, land of oil and gas. Embracing petrohistory for a sustainable future The Dutch twentieth century was defined by oil and gas. In this article we introduce the concept of ‘petrohistory’: a (national) history structured around petroleum and its effects on economy, politics, culture, and infrastructure. We use this as a tool to explore the influence of fossil fuels on Dutch history. We argue that oil and gas created path dependencies…

‘Foute’ vrouwen in het gareel dwingen
From ‘fallen women’ to ‘good housewives’: The resocialization of female collaborators in post-occupation Netherlands, 1946-1951 The extensive re-education programs that followed the internment of Dutch collaborators have received scant historical attention. Over a period of five years after their arrest, around 90,000 so-called political delinquents became eligible for conditional release. Instead of being tried, they were released under the cond…

Het politieke wordt persoonlijk
The political becomes personal. Gender representations of cabinet members in Dutch newspapers and weeklies, 1973-1982 ‘The office of cabinet minister is not for women’, wrote Volkskrant journalist Martin de Ruyter in 1974. This article examines interviews with female and male politicians from the cabinets Den Uyl (1973-1977), Van Agt I (1977-1981), and Van Agt II (1981-1982). First, it describes how cabinet members used self-fashioning to forge t…
Disability History
Disability History: a review essay In this essay the authors discuss the main trends in disability history in the last five years, and review a selection of relevant publications. After a short introduction to the field and to the Dutch context, they show first how disability historians have conceptualised disability as a social construct. Second, they argue that recent disability histories from below have been enriched by intersectional and tran…

Meer dan een groene beweging
Afscheid van een politicus
Death of a politician. Media, public engagement, and party politics after the passing of Joop den Uyl in 1987 This article concerns the politics surrounding the death and public commemoration of former prime minister and former party leader Joop den Uyl in December 1987. Taking its cue from scholarship that suggests that deaths of political leaders provide the basis for political community formation, it argues that Den Uyl’s death should be inter…
‘Vivat Belgie’
‘Vivat Belgie’. Rebellion and repression in the Northern Netherlands c. 1830 This article argues that the dominant narrative concerning the Belgian Revolt must be revised. Thanks to nationalist and Hollandocentric tendencies in Dutch historiography, the conflict of 1830 has traditionally been interpreted as a struggle between the Northern and Southern parts of the country. By examining social and political unrest in two peripheral regions in the …
De Raad van Oorlog
The Council of War: general staff, council in the field or honorary body? An exploration of a forgotten junta, c. 1567-c. 1718 This article explores the history, organisation, composition, and significance of the Council of War in the Low Countries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Council was a flexible, informally functioning junta that advised the governor-general on military policy. There are almost no archives preserved for thi…
Nederland in de jaren negentig
The Netherlands in the 1990s. Myth, Historiography and Research Agenda As in other countries, the 1990s have received much attention from Dutch historians in recent years. This article discusses two shortcomings that hinder a proper understanding of this crucial era. The first issue concerns popular works, which strongly shape collective memory. In podcasts, TV programs, books, and other formats, non-academics fondly recall this ‘golden age’ thro…

Neutraliteit is lafheid
Neutrality is cowardice. The post-war politicization of public education in The Netherlands The political purposes and aims of Dutch education began to be questioned after the Second World War. But there was also a high regard for educational freedom, considered a cornerstone of Dutch democracy. Why did the Dutch government not interfere to protect and strengthen democratic values? And how did teachers in public schools, who were expected to be p…
Square de Léopoldville of Place Lumumba
Square de Léopoldville or Place Lumumba? Belgian (post)colonial memory in the public space The Belgian colonial past is dealt with one-sidedly in the public space. Belgium has hundreds of street names and memorials for white colonials, but not a single tribute to a Congolese. Several colonial monuments have been subject to protest and vandalism, but none of them has been removed or adapted, and only two have been updated with interpretive plaques…
Framing Suriname - De verbeelding van Surinamers op de Internationale Koloniale en Uitvoerhandel Tentoonstelling in Amsterdam in 1883
From 1 May until the end of October 1883 there took place in Amsterdam the first world exhibition, of which the keynote was colonial power. Living Surinamers were to be seen as well as ‘authentic’ Indonesians. The public came with great curiosity to look at the exhibited Surinamers, and scientists had the opportunity for anthropological research. For example, prince Roland Bonaparte ordered the taking of anthropological photographs of the Surinam…
Een zoet verval - Nederlandse reizigers en hun visie op de stad aan de stroom (1600-1750)
Deserted quays, ramshackle warehouses, rusty cranes, dilapidated houses, and pavements speckled with rank weeds: the stereotypical images used by early modern travellers to illustrate the decline of Antwerp after the Spanish Recapture (1585) and the closing of the Scheldt are well known. Deriving new insights from recent literature on heritage travel and lieux de mémoire, and by using a select body of Dutch travel books in manuscript, this articl…

Rode deletie
Red erasure. The silenced memory of Anton de Kom’s communism In 1934 the Afro-Surinamese author and activist Anton de Kom published his Wij slaven van Suriname (We Slaves of Surinam). De Kom drew inspiration from his experience and life in Surinam, as well as from the writings of abolitionist authors and the communist and anti-imperialist circles in which he moved while in Europe. Back in Surinam he was accused of plotting to overthrow the coloni…

Militaire geschiedschrijving in de 21e eeuw
Military History in the 21stCentury The field of military history has undergone profound changes in recent decades, the main feature of which has been to broaden the narrow traditional operational military historiography in terms of theme, perspective and methodology. This article very briefly discusses the position of the field in the academic and non-academic world. Then – the main body of the article – it explores the new historiographic paths…
Voetnootpraktijken
On footnotes Footnotes are a crucial part of the historian’s craft. Yet, they are often construed as no more than tools, used by historians, and scientists, to refer to sources and relevant literature. By looking at several student handbooks on history writing and recent studies on annotation practices, we argue in this discussion article that footnotes are more than simple references to other people’s work and that historians would do well to re…
Waarom Nederland in 1848 geen revolutie kende
Why the Netherlands did not witness a revolution in 1848 In 1848, a wave of democratic revolutions struck most of Europe, but not the Netherlands. Historians have provided only partial explanations from a range of perspectives, such as socio-economic, socio-political, and institutional. We argue that none of these are fully tenable or satisfactory by comparing the Dutch situation with countries that did experience revolutions in 1848. Also, we ad…

Inleiding. Erfgoed in revolutietijd
Introduction: Heritage in the Revolutionary Era This article serves as an introduction to the central theme of this special issue of Tijdschrift voor Geschiedenis: the way local, regional, and national authorities dealt with heritage in and after the Revolutionary Era. It argues that a focus on objects, collections, and archives in the Batavian-French period and the early years of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands can offer a new perspective …
De mobilisatie van de nègres blancs d’Amérique
The mobilization of the nègres blancs d’Amérique. Shame and political symbolism as a legitimization for revolutionary violence in Québec (1963-1973) In research on liberation movements, or other social movements, academics tend to look at rational and material motivations – economic, political, social, geographical, and demographic – for revolutionary action. In this article I want to emphasize the leading role of emotions in social action. A viv…

Plaatsen van geschiedenis
Recent studies have shown that the states that formed in post-revolutionary Europe were eager to found national archives. Historical research in those archives fostered national unity and stability. Limited research on Belgian archival history has suggested a different picture: under the ‘occupation’ by both the French Empire and the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, ‘Belgian’ archives were plundered. This article offers another interpretation. …
