Nederlands kolonialisme van archief tot geschiedschrijving

Een gids voor onderzoekers

2023 || Paperback || Sanne Ravensbergen e.a. || Leiden University Press

In archieven, bibliotheken en musea over de hele wereld liggen Nederlandse koloniale bronnen: kilometers aan brieven, verslagen en dagboeken, en depots vol afbeeldingen, kaarten en objecten. Maar de informatie in dit enorme koloniale archief spreekt niet voor zich. Hoe is dit bronnenmateriaal gevormd en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor historisch onderzoek? Hoe ga je als historicus om met racisme, oriëntalisme en eenzijdigheid in koloniale bronnen? En hoe deden historici dat de afgelopen eeuwen?

Dit boek biedt handreikingen aan onderzoekers in drie stappen. Deel I bespreekt de diepe verstrengeling van geschiedschrijving met overzeese handel en koloniaal bestuur, en toont hoe die ook na de formele dekolonisatie nog sporen achterlaat in de historiografie. Deel II richt zich op methodologie. Het behandelt hoe en waarom koloniale bronnen gevormd zijn en biedt aanknopingspunten om die opnieuw, vanuit verschillende perspectieven, te analyseren. Deel III geeft een praktisch overzicht van belangrijke archieven, collecties en typen bronnen: uiteenlopend van overheids- en bedrijfsdocumenten tot mondelinge overleveringen, van kerkelijke rapporten tot scheepsjournalen, en van foto’s tot digitaal materiaal...

Digging holes abroad / druk 1

an ethnography of Dutch archaeological research projects abroad

2012 || Paperback || Sjoerd van der Linde || Leiden University Press

Over the last few decades, western archaeology increasingly abandoned its 'ivory tower' in order to investigate, negotiate and develop its position and role in global society. The way in which we deal with other peoples views in the interpretation of archaeological materials, the way in which we integrate our narratives and practices with other heritage demands,and the way in which we deal with power differences in both these processes; all are challenging issues when undertaking archaeologic...
