It focuses on the history of the 'neerlandophone' space, defined as the complex linguistic space spanning former Dutch colonies. This collection gives a \u003ccite\u003elongue dur?e\u003c\/cite\u003e overview, with cases encompassing the period from the early modern period to the present-day, revealing the deep roots of the colonial 'cultural archive'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA wide variety of scholars demonstrate how attention to the layered and polyphonic qualities of narratives can reveal silent and disruptive voices in colonial discourse, as well as collective emotions and imaginations that have hitherto remained unrecorded in most historical sources. They discuss different aesthetic, poetical, and storytelling practices, including literature, photography, performance, philosophy, and other forms of knowledge production that were formed both in the metropolis and by enslaved and indentured peoples in the colonies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marrigje Paijmans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463728791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463728799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Marrigje Paijmans","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46618139951359,"sku":"9789463728799","price":161.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f2f3fdf-49ec-416a-95d2-8551da0b1b0f.jpg?v=1740069274","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slavery-in-the-cultural-imagination-marrigje-paijmans-9789463728799","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
