The Colonization of Freed African Americans in Suriname

Archival Sources relating to the U.S.-Dutch Negotiations, 1860-1866

2019 || Paperback || Michael J. Douma || Leiden University Press

During the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln’s administration engaged in protracted negotiations with representatives of the Netherlands to aid in the voluntarily colonization of free African Americans to Suriname. Scores of diplomatic letters in Dutch, English, and French, dating to the period 1862 to 1866 attest to the very real possibility that such a migration stream could have become a reality. They also indicate reasons why this scheme failed: it was bogged down by differe...

Memory contested, locality transformed / druk 1

representing Japanese colonial 'Heritage' in Taiwan

2012 || Paperback || Min-Chin Chiang || Leiden University Press

Sinds de jaren '90 is er in Taiwan sprake van een groeiend bewustzijn over het koloniale verleden. Dit uit zich in een flinke toename van het aantal musea en beschermd cultureel erfgoed.

Met andere woorden, de voormalig koloniale locaties werden een bestanddeel van de nieuwe identiteit en cultuur van het postkoloniale Taiwan van de jaren 1990-2000.

Aan de hand van vijf locaties u...

Perceptions of the indigenous communities on their involvement and use of traditional conservation practices

|| Simon Makuvaza || Leiden University Press

Since 1992, when the World Heritage Committee established its category of "cultural landscapes", scholarly debates have ensued on how they could best be managed. One approach, which appears to have gained significance over the past two decades or so, considers using traditional conservation practices as well as engaging local indigenous communities in the stewardship of these exemplary sites.

To examine the efficacy of this recent approach, this book explores the concept of indigenous communi...
