Paradise overseas : the Dutch Caribbean : colonialism and its transatlantic legacies
"Paradise Overseas presents a tour around the main themes of Dutch Caribbean history and its contemporary legacies. In seven essays, author Gert Oostindie paints the broad canvas of this oft-neglected part of the Caribbean and its enduring links to the metropolis. Rather than aiming at a comprehensive narrative, he offers a thematic discussion of issues." "Drawing on his wide expertise in Caribbean and Latin American studies, Gert Oostindie strongly posits this refreshing analysis of the Dutch Caribbean in a comparative framework which will be of interest to historians, anthropologists and political scientists alike. Paradise Overseas is a completely revised and updated version of his widely acclaimed original study, Het paradijs overzee, published in the Netherlands."--BOOK JACKET
