Biographical note

Readership
All those interested in Atlantic history, indigenous peoples and European expansion, intercultural diplomacy, Dutch overseas expansion, and ethnohistory.
Reviews
A key strength of Meuwese’s study is its comparative analysis of [the WIC] imperial projects. Another is his determination to bring indigenous peoples to the centre of an Atlantic historiography more often concerned with shipping, European migration, imperial administration, and the adaptation of political and religious culture. [...] Meuwese demonstrates an enviable confidence when dealing with diverse sources and historiographies which he knits together well.
