The Company Fortress Military Engineering and the Dutch East India Company in South Asia, 1638-1795


Free Download Erik Odegard, "The Company Fortress: Military Engineering and the Dutch East India Company in South Asia, 1638-1795 "
English | ISBN: 9087283466 | 2020 | 308 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
The remains of Dutch East India Company forts are scattered throughout littoral Asia and Africa. But how important were the specific characteristics of European bastion-trace fortifications to Early Modern European expansion? The Company Fortress takes on this question by studying the system of fortifications built and maintained by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in present-day India and Sri Lanka. It uncovers the stories of the forts and their designers, arguing that many of these engineers were in fact amateurs and their creations contained serious flaws. Subsequent engineers were hampered by their disagreement over fortification design: there proved not to be a single ‘European school’ of fortification design. The study questions the importance of fortification design for European expansion, shows the relationship between siege and naval warfare, and highlights changing perceptions by the VOC of the capabilities of new polities in India in the late eighteenth century.

The Slow Death of Slavery in Dutch New York A Cultural, Economic, and Demographic History, 1700-1827


Free Download The Slow Death of Slavery in Dutch New York: A Cultural, Economic, and Demographic History, 1700-1827 by Michael J. Douma
English | January 9, 2025 | ISBN: 100944137X | True PDF | 270 pages | 6.5 MB
Original and deeply researched, this book provides a new interpretation of Dutch American slavery which challenges many of the traditional assumptions about slavery in New York. With an emphasis on demography and economics, Michael J. Douma shows that slavery in eighteenth-century New York was mostly rural, heavily Dutch, and generally profitable through the cultivation of wheat. Slavery in Dutch New York ultimately died a political death in the nineteenth century, while resistance from enslaved persons, and a gradual turn against slavery in society and in the courts, encouraged its destruction. This important study will reshape the historiography of slavery in the American North.

Dutch Contributions to the Fourteenth International Congress of Slavists


Free Download Jos Schaeken Peter Houtzagers,Janneke Kalsbeek, "Dutch Contributions to the Fourteenth International Congress of Slavists: Ohrid, September 10-16, 2008. Linguistics"
English | 2008 | pages: 579 | ISBN: 9042024429 | PDF | 5,0 mb
This volume contains articles by 17 slavists from the Low Countries. Although they are all about Slavic linguistics, they cover a wide range of subjects and their theoretical implications are often not restricted to slavistics alone. Most contributions deal with Russian or Slavic in general, but South and West Slavic are also represented. The reader who knows the strong points for which Dutch slavistics is traditionally known and appreciated will not be disappointed: s/he will find papers on syntax and semantics (Fortuin, Van Helden, Honselaar, Keijsper, Tribušinina), aspectology (Barentsen, Genis), philology (Veder), historical Slavic phonology and morphology (Derksen, Kortlandt, Vermeer), dialectology (Houtzagers, Pronk), the study of sentence intonation (Odé) and papers representing crossroads between these disciplines: philology and historical linguistics (Hendriks, Schaeken), aspectology and philology (Kalsbeek). Apart from its quality in the linguistic fields enumerated here, Dutch Slavic linguistics is known for its empirical approach: the main goal is to find explanations for linguistic reality. Theory is relevant inasmuch as it helps us to find such explanations and not for its own sake. Though each and every paper in this volume exemplifies this empirical attitude, it might be especially illustrative to mention that almost all authors who studied the larger contemporary Slavic languages made extensive use of language corpus resources, part of which were collected at the University of Amsterdam.

Images of Occupation in Dutch Film Memory, Myth, and the Cultural Legacy of War


Free Download Wendy Burke, "Images of Occupation in Dutch Film: Memory, Myth, and the Cultural Legacy of War "
English | ISBN: 9089648542 | 2017 | 262 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The German occupation of the Netherlands during World War II left a lasting mark on Dutch memory and culture. This book is the first to explore depictions of that period in films made a generation later, between 1962 and 1986. As Dutch public opinion towards the war altered over the postwar decades, the historical trajectory of Dutch recovery and reconstruction-political, economic, and, most complicated of all, psychological-came to be revealed, often unconsciously, in the films of the period.

English | ISBN: 9462987114 | 2018 | 272 pages | PDF | 4 MB
In his own day, Godefridus Schalcken (1643―1706) was an internationally renowned Dutch painter, but little is known about the four years that he spent in London. Using newly discovered documents, this book provides the first comprehensive examination of Schalcken’s activities there. The author analyses Schalcken’s strategic appropriations of English styles, his attempts to exploit gaps in the art market, and his impact on tastes in London’s milieu. Five chapters survey his art during these years, concluding with a critical catalogue of all his London-period work.
