Emerging at the turn of the seventeenth century, the Dutch
Republic rose to become a powerhouse of economic growth, artistic creativity,
military innovation, religious tolerance and intellectual development. This is
the first textbook to present this period of early modern Dutch history in a
global context. It makes an active use of illustrations, objects, personal
stories and anecdotes to present a lively overview of Dutch global history that
is solidly grounded in sources and literature. Focusing on themes that resonate
with contemporary concerns, such as overseas exploration, war, slavery,
migration, identity and racism, this volume charts the multiple ways in which
the Dutch were connected with the outside world. It serves as an engaging and
accessible introduction to Dutch history as well as a case study in early
modern global expansion.
