Contents:

Mauritsstad-Recife in seventeenth-century Brazil -- Amsterdam and the South Atlantic -- The Jewish-Portuguese nation in the colony of Suriname -- The Maroon and the Creole as narrative tropes -- Manuel Piar and the struggle for independence in Latin America -- Popular rhythms and political voices in Curaçao -- New landscapes, Creole belonging -- The South Atlantic revisited.

Summary: The Caribbean imagination as framed within a Dutch historical setting has deep Portuguese-African roots. The Seven Provinces were the first European power, in the first half of the 17th century, to challenge the Iberian countries directly for a share in the slave trade. This book analyzes the philosophy underlying this transoceanic link, when contacts with Africa started to be developed. The ambiguous morality of the 'air of liberty' governing the Afro-Portuguese past had its impact on the creole cultures (white, black, Jewish) of the Dutch territories of Suriname and Curaçao. Although this in.
