Synopsis

ñIt is hard to conceive how such a massive and disparate body of evidence about such a complex, diffuse, and subtle set of problems might have been better assembled. . . . This study is impressive . . . î „American Historical Review

ñThis is a rich and stimulating study on the historical relationship between Dutch and blacks within metropolitan and colonial borders.î „African History

Examines folklore, art, literature, and religion to gain an understanding of the history and development of racial attitudes and color prejudice during Western expansion and scientific and industrial modernization. Blakely discovers that humanism and liberalism, the hallmarks of Dutch society since medieval times, have not dispelled race bias.
