This book surveys the role of Amsterdam's Sephardic merchants in
the westward expansion of sugar production and trade in the
seventeenth-century Atlantic. It offers an historical-geographic
perspective, linking Amsterdam as an emerging staple market to a
network of merchants of the "Portuguese Nation," conducting trade
from the Iberian Peninsula and Brazil. Examining the "Myth of the
Dutch," the "Sephardic Moment," and the impact of the British
Navigation Acts, Yda Schreuder focuses attention on Barbados and
Jamaica and demonstrates how Amsterdam remained Europe's primary
sugar refining center through most of the seventeenth century and
how Sephardic merchants played a significant role in sustaining the
sugar trade.
