About this book

"In one of the few books describing the history of the six Dutch Antillan islands as an entity, Antillean and Dutch authors and editors adopt a thematic approach. In 10 chapters they discuss historical sources, ecology and population, Amerindian history, slavery, European influences, colonial and foreign relations, Antillean cultural and political identity, the May 1969 revolt in Curaçao, relations among the six islands, and migration. Intended as a general introduction to the history of the Dutch Antilles"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
