This volume provides the first survey in English of the Dutch
involvement in the Atlantic slave trade and slave system. It covers
the period from the origins of the trade and the Dutch conquest of
part of Brazil in the early 17th century, to the abolition of
slavery in the Dutch West Indies in the later 19th century.
Individual chapters focus on the 'investment bubble' in the Dutch
plantation colonies, Dutch participation in the illegal slave
trade, and the effects of ameliorisation policies and then
emancipation on the slaves of Suriname. Professor Emmer also
highlights the particular characteristics of the Dutch West India
Company - markedly different from the better-known East India
Company - and the low-key nature of the debate on slave
emancipation in The Netherlands.
