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 went
hand in hand with severe political and economic exploitation of the
local populations through violence, monopoly and slavery. This
pioneering history of the early modern Dutch Empire, over two
centuries, for the first time provides a comparative and indigenous
perspective on Dutch overseas expansion. Apart from discussing the
impact of the Empire on the economy and society at home in the
Dutch Republic, it also offers a fascinating window into the
contemporary societies of Asia, Africa and the Americas and,
through their interactions, on processes of early modern
globalisation.
