    Correspondence, 1647–1653 Translated and edited by CHARLES T. GEHRING New Netherland Documents Series Volume XI About the New Netherland Research Center and the New Netherland Institute The New Netherland Research Center is a partnership between the New York State Office of Cultural Education and the New Netherland Institute. Housed in the New York State Library, the Center supports research on the seventeenth-century Dutch province of New Netherland, which was centered on New York’s Hudson Valley and extended from Connecticut to Delaware. Under Director Dr. Charles Gehring and Associate Director Dr. Janny Venema, it continues the work of the New Netherland Project, which since 1974 has translated Dutch era documents held by the New York State Library and the New York State Archives. Visit the New Nether- land Research Center online at www.nysl.nysed.gov/newnetherland. The New Netherland Institute is an independent nonprofit organization supporting research and education in Dutch-American history. For over three decades, the Institute and its predecessor organization the Friends of New Netherland have supported the translation of New York’s Dutch era documents by the New Netherland Project. Through a three-year match- ing grant from the State of the Netherlands, the Institute now undertakes financial and programmatic support of the New Netherland Research Center. The Institute relies heavily on its members to fulfill this mission. Interested parties can learn more about the Institute’s programs and how to join at www.newnetherlandinstitute.org.

  • The Fall of New Sweden: Political Takeover, Cultural Makeover
    146 “The Fall of New Sweden: Political Takeovers, Cultural Makeovers” James H. Williams, Middle Tennessee State University “Lost Colonies” Conference, March 26-27, 2004 (Please do not cite, quote, or circulate without written permission from the author) In the lost-and-found box of American colonies, New Sweden is the tube of Chapstick rolling around at the bottom of the box: never very valuable to begin with, hardly a prize when found. At least that is the image that one gets from studying early American history. Textbooks barely mention the colony, if they mention it at all, and then usually only as a wildly improbable venture doomed to fail in the English domination of eastern North America. Everyday Americans are unlikely to know that Sweden tried to colonize parts of present-day New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. Once told of this colony, they usually look profoundly puzzled, and one can almost hear them thinking, “Sweden?!” My task in this paper is not to inflate the importance of New Sweden so that you are convinced it is the premier lost colony. Rather, I wish to demonstrate why I believe New Sweden was an unusual example, perhaps a unique one, of a lost colony: it was lost several times in the course of twenty years. Yet political takeovers did not result in cultural makeovers. Imperial control changed, but the culture of the conquered people changed only slowly and never completely disappeared. In the global expansion of Europe, Sweden can hardly be said to have played a leading role. Yet, from the perspective of the scramble for North America in the 1620s and 1630s, Sweden posed a serious threat to other Europeans in the middle Atlantic coast.

    Belvedere_2019_03_kiado.qxd 2020.01.30. 13:20 Page 25 SCHVÉD BRIGITTA KINGA [email protected] PhD-hallgató (PTE BTK Interdiszciplináris Doktori Iskola, Középkori és Koraújkori Doktori Program) A 17. századi svéd gyarmatosítás egy rövid epizódja A Svéd Afrika Társaság (Svenska Afrikakompaniet) és a nyugat-afrikai svéd gyarmatosítás (1649–1663) A brief episode of Swedish colonialism in the 17th century The Swedish Africa Company (Svenska Afrikakompaniet) and the Swedish colonization in West Africa (1649–1663) ABSTRACT The possibility of Swedish colonialism emerged for the first time during the reign of Gustav II Adolph of Sweden (1611–1632), when he issued a decree on the policy of Swedish colonization outside Europe in 1625. The Kingdom of Sweden was one of the most spectacularly expanding states in Europe in the 17th century, and the unmatched success of Swedish dynasticism was primarily due to their expansive foreign policy. The establishment of the Swedish colonization of the era – the founding of New Sweden in North America and the Swedish Gold Coast in West Africa – composed important foreground to the Swedish expansion. It is essential to explore the Dutch cultural transfer and intermediation in order to analyze the phenomenon of Swedish colonization, as the political and economic relations with The Hague (Staten-Generaal) and the activity of Dutch agents, diplomats, artists, architects, traders and entrepreneurs produced important background for the Kingdom of Sweden’s ambitions in the 17th century. The present study summarizes the Swedish colonization in North America and examines the activities of the Swedish Africa Company (Svenska Afrikakompaniet) from 1648–1649 to 1663, from the point of view of the Swedish–Dutch cultural transfers of the era, due to the Dutch affiliates involved in the operation of the company.
