| Sumario: | How are the Dutch who settled New Netherland to be judged? In this book, the author explores this question. She points to a betrayal both of their own values and of the native peoples. She also directs us to the self-delusion of hegemonic control. Her work belongs alongside the best of postcolonial studies in the description of cross-cultural violence and the subtle questioning of the nature of writing its history. -- Adapted from jacket description. |
