The Dutch Research Council (nwo) funded the original Dutch Atlantic Connections project which was the foundation of much of the research pre- sented in the following pages. The nwo and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (kitlv) have both generously subsi- dized the publication of this book in Open Access so that the findings can be made available to as wide an audience as possible. The kitlv, the nwo, and the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies (nias) sponsored a conference in August 2012 that brought together an international group of experts to help synthesize the results of the Dutch Atlantic Connections project. Although this is not a volume of conference proceedings, the gathering did help immensely in framing the eventual outline and content of this book. The nias played host to several of the contributors to this volume in the Spring of 2013 as part of a group that was brought together to further conceptualize the role of the Dutch in the Atlantic in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Some of the chap- ters were written at the nias, and the time and space provided there was of great importance for the authors. Acquiring images for the volume would have been substantially more trying without the administrative and financial support of the kitlv. The Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid waived the costs to use Frans Post’s View of Igaraçu. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam also kindly provided the images for Frans Post’s View of Itamaracá, Franciscan Convent, and View of Olinda free of charge. In the final stages of the project, we have been fortunate in having our editor at Brill, Nozomi Goto. We would like to thank her for her energy, efficiency, patience and editorial support for the volume. Lastly, this volume would not have been possible without our contributors. They have been a group who moved with remarkable alacrity as we pushed publication of the book forward with an extremely tight schedule. More impor- tantly, each of them has brought their expertise and insights on the Dutch in the Atlantic into their respective chapters. We are grateful to them all.

    New West Indian Guide 94 (2020) 39–74 nwig brill.com/nwig A Disagreeable Text The Uncovered First Draft of Bryan Edwards’s Preface to The History of the British West Indies, c. 1792 Devin Leigh Department of History, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, USA [email protected] Abstract Bryan Edwards’s The History of the British West Indies is a text well known to histori- ans of the Caribbean and the early modern Atlantic World. First published in 1793, the work is widely considered to be a classic of British Caribbean literature. This article introduces an unpublished first draft of Edwards’s preface to that work. Housed in the archives of the West India Committee in Westminster, England, this preface has never been published or fully analyzed by scholars in print. It offers valuable insight into the production of West Indian history at the end of the eighteenth century. In particular, it shows how colonial planters confronted the challenges of their day by attempting to wrest the practice of writing West Indian history from their critics in Great Britain. Unlike these metropolitan writers, Edwards had lived in the West Indian colonies for many years. He positioned his personal experience as being a primary source of his historical legitimacy. Keywords Bryan Edwards – West Indian history – eighteenth century – slavery – abolition Bryan Edwards’s The History, Civil and Commercial, of the British Colonies in the West Indies is a text well known to scholars of the Caribbean (Edwards 1793). First published in June of 1793, the text was “among the most widely read and influential accounts of the British Caribbean for generations” (V.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

  • Redescription of Hypoatherina Valenciennei and Its Relationships to Other Species of Atherinidae in the Pacific and Indian Oceans
    Japanese Journal of Ichthyology 魚 類 学 雑 誌 Vol. 35, No. 2 1988 35 巻 2 号 1988年 Redescription of Hypoatherina valenciennei and its Relationships to Other Species of Atherinidae in the Pacific and Indian Oceans Walter Ivantsoff and Maurice Kottelat (Received December 23, 1986) Abstract A review of Tirant's collections and examination of types has resulted in the reidentifica- tion of Haplocheilus argyrotaenia Tirant as Hypoatherina valenciennei (Bleeker) which is found throughout the southwestern Pacific and as far north as Japan. The taxonomic status of H. valenciennei is clarified and Bleeker's emendation of the original specific epithet valenciennei to valenciennesi is rejected. The systematic position of this species is difficult to determine since H. valenciennei shows affinities with both Hypoatherina and Atherinomorus. In the light of the present knowledge, Bleeker's species appears to have greater affinities with Hypoatherina and is therefore placed in this genus. Recent reexamination of the types of Haplo- 1983).

  • Introducing New Amsterdam One Useful Way to Understand History Is to Forget “History” and Instead Think of the Introducing Past in Terms of Archaeology
    Life in New Amsterdam Educator Resource Guide This guide is made possible by The Netherlands Consulate General in New York. Russell Shorto Introducing New Amsterdam One useful way to understand history is to forget “history” and instead think of the Introducing past in terms of archaeology. Think of layers of civilization, one on top of the other. New Amsterdam Now imagine yourself with a shovel, standing on the surface. You begin digging into the layers of America’s story, searching for its beginnings. You dig through the 20th century, and reach the 19th, finding remnants of the era of horse–drawn buggies, of the Civil War, of the advent of steam–engines. You dig further, and come to the American Revolution: the powdered wigs, the muskets, the gentlemen in Philadelphia grandly inscribing their signatures to a document declaring their independence from Great Britain. This is it: the bedrock of American culture and history, the bottom layer. But no, of course that is not true. Beneath the Revolution lies the colonial period, with its cities burgeoning, its tobacco plantations worked by slaves, its residents thinking of themselves not so much as Americans but as Virginians or Pennsylvanians or New Yorkers. This, then, surely, is the bedrock, the root of all later American history. Actually, no. For the colonies of the 18th century have their roots in the 17th century. Many of these original European settlements — Virginia, the Massachusetts Bay Colony — were English. But not all of them were. This volume explores one of those earliest colonies, which was not founded by the English and which, though largely forgotten in the standard telling of American history, exerted an enormous influence on American culture.
