White Lies and Black Markets
In this volume, Fatah-Black untangles the ways in which metropolitan authorities were defied and evaded in the process of making Suriname a productive plantation colony between 1650 and 1800.
Serving the Chain?
"In the nineteenth century, when the principal cultural, political, and financial institutions of the Netherlands were established, slavery was still very much part of the nation's global imperial structures. Dutch families, institutions, and governments are increasingly interested in the role their predecessors played in this history of colonialism and enslavement. This book is a history of De Nederlandsche Bank in which particular attention is paid to its links with slavery, both as a factor in the economy and as a subject of political debate. Because De Nederlandsche Bank served the Dutch ministery of Colonies and consequently followed Dutch trade interests, the bank's history intersects with the history of slavery. The investigation in this book focuses not only upon DNB's formal involvement but also on the private involvement of its directors. In addition, it examines whether the bank and its directors played any role in the abolition of slavery."
Slavernij en beschaving
In Slavernij en beschaving onderzoekt Karwan Fatah-Black hoe het denken over slavernij zich door de eeuwen heen gevormd heeft. Hoe kan een beschaafde samenleving slavernij toestaan? Slavernij en beschaving van Karwan Fatah-Black, auteur van Eigendomsstrijd, is een kleine geschiedenis van een paradox. Weinig historische onderwerpen zorgen voor meer discussie dan het slavernijverleden. Waarom is er debat over iets waar iedereen tegen is? Waarom worden beelden van slavenhandelaren van hun sokkel getrokken terwijl de slavernij allang is afgeschaft? En hoe komt het dat in onze huidige samenleving nog steeds miljoenen mensen onvrij zijn? In Slavernij en beschaving onderzoekt Karwan Fatah-Black hoe...
The Future of the Dutch Colonial Past
Institutions across the globe are increasingly questioned on how their foundations are rooted in colonialism and how they aim to 'decolonize'. The Future of the Dutch Colonial Past provides an overview of critical scholarly reflections on the history of Dutch slavery and colonization, as well as how this translates into critical cultural practices. It also explores possible futures: What can heritage institutions learn from (international) best practices regarding the 'decolonization' of museums? And what role can contemporary artistic practices take in these processes? Through a variety of essays, interventions, interviews, and a roundtable conversation, scholars and cultural practitioners address these complex questions.
Pirates, Merchants, Settlers, and Slaves
In the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, more than a thousand pirates poured from the Atlantic into the Indian Ocean. There, according to Kevin P. McDonald, they helped launch an informal trade network that spanned the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds, connecting the North American colonies with the rich markets of the East Indies. Rather than conducting their commerce through chartered companies based in London or Lisbon, colonial merchants in New York entered into an alliance with Euro-American pirates based in Madagascar. Pirates, Merchants, Settlers, and Slaves explores the resulting global trade network located on the peripheries of world empires and shows the illicit way...
Explorations in History and Globalization
Considering the ways in which the ‘global turn’ is changing the theory and practice of historical disciplines, Explorations in History and Globalization engages with the concept and methodology of globalization, challenging traditional divisions of space and time to offer a range of perspectives on how globalization has affected social, economic, political and cultural history. Each chapter covers a specific theme, discussing how globalization has shaped these themes and how they have contributed to globalization throughout history. Including topics such as ecological exchanges, trade, exchanges of knowledge, migration, empire and urbanization, this volume both explains historical trajectories through a global analytical framework and provides tools that students can employ when posing their own research questions about historical globalization. Containing suggestions for further reading and guidance on the ways in which primary source material can be used as a basis for global historical studies, this is the ideal volume for all students interested in the global exchanges between people throughout history.

We Slaves of Suriname
We Slaves of Suriname is an original history of the barbaric formation of the Dutch colony in South America. It is the life's work of Anton De Kom, the son of a slave who became a tireless resistance fighter and communist activist, even during the German occupation of the Netherlands in 1940.In his defiant account, De Kom translates his personal anger at the situation into beautiful, passionate history and call-to-arms. A classic account of decolonial history, We Slaves of Suriname reveals the experience of the oppressed across the Caribbean and adds to our understanding of struggles against slavery, imperialism and racism.First published in Dutch in 1934, and then translated into German and Spanish, the book now finally sees its English translation at a time when the people of Suriname are still struggling against the vestiges of colonialism.
Eigendomsstrijd
‘Eigendomsstrijd’ van historicus Karwan Fatah-Black is een helder en toegankelijk boek dat nieuwe inzichten biedt in het debat over het Nederlands slavernijverleden. Het beschrijft de geschiedenis van slavernij en emancipatie in Suriname. In de straten, huizen en erfjes van Paramaribo was de controle van de slavenhouder moeilijk vol te houden. Daar begon een vrije groep de fundamenten van een eigen gemeenschap te leggen. Terwijl de slavenhouders streden voor de controle over hun eigendom, zochten in de stad en aan de waterkant de slaven hun wegen naar vrijheid. Aan de hand van de levens van deze grondleggers beschrijft Karwan Fatah-Black in ‘Eigendomsstrijd’ de periode die voorafging aan de definitieve afschaffing van de slavernij in 1863. Het resultaat is een prachtig boek dat nieuw licht werpt op het Nederlandse slavernijverleden en de erfenis daarvan.
