	Waaldijk - Colonial Constructions
		Before turning to the ways 'the colonies' entered the discussions among the organizers of the 1898 exhibition, it is useful to address the marginal position gender and colonialism have occupied in the historiography of the Dutch nation.
		Colonialism was, according to Stoler, central, not marginal, to the construction of the new forms of power that rested on control of the self.
		She points out that '(e)mpire provided the fertile terrain on which the bourgeois notions of manliness and virility could be honed and put to patriotic test', and that a colonial discourse of 'vigilant hygiene' was centered around the white European women.

	UNESCO - Dialogue among Civilizations -- News and Events
		In the creation and maintaining of empires, islands have an ideological function as imaginary constructs in the minds of the population of the lands that founded these empires, as a magical elsewhere, distant exotic places that somehow mask the violence of imperial domination.
		Although I think the question of the dream is legitimate, I would not be inclined to separate islands and their insularity from people’s representation of colonial empires as a whole, where the point of view of the colonizer obviously differs from that of the colonized.
		Nor did the Portuguese colonial empire elicit many dreams, although they did have the tower of Belém, sailed from the banks of the Tagus and travelled far and wide; but they were not drawn by the particular trading posts controlled by the Portuguese monarchic power as much as by the abstraction of overseas.

		Prior to the coming of the European colonial powers to the Asian and oceanic regions there were numerous kingdoms and nations with their own individual sovereignty and national rule.

	The Black Dutchmen
		Some background The shortage of manpower in the Dutch colonial army became particularly acute in the wake of the Java war (1825-1830) which took the lives of 8,000 European soldiers and many more native soldiers, and the secession of Belgium in 1830 which meant that the national reservoir for army recruitment had shrunk considerably.
		Thus, the Department of Colonies turned to the almost forgotten Dutch Possessions on the Guinea Coast, where commercial activity was at a low ebb following the abolition of the slave trade in 1814.
		Witnessing the frequent human sacrifices in Ashanti, the Dutch delegation was convinced that the Asantahene and his court controlled vast amounts of manpower, some of which could be made available to the Dutch army.

		This book deals with the competition between England and the Dutch colonial empire for possession of the spice-producing islands of Southeast Asia throughout the 17th century.
		Full of stories of heroism, ambition, ruthlessness, treachery, murder, torture, and madness, Nathaniel's Nutmeg offers a compelling story of European rivalry in the tropical Asian world, thousands of miles from home, and the mutual incomprehensibility which often comically characterized relations between the Europeans and the local inhabitants of the prized islands.
		To avenge his death, and the loss of the island, the British took the Dutch North American colony at Manhattan.

		The sheer breadth of Israel's erudition is little short of astonishing and he tackles all aspects of Dutch history...the range of the work is admirably inclusive, and it is hard to point to any significant omissions or to an inadequate treatment of any important topic.
		The Dutch Golden Age, the age of Grotius, Spinoza, Rembrandt, Vermeer, and a host of other renowned artists and writers was also remarkable for its immense impact in the spheres of commerce, finance, shipping, and technology.
		Someone more expert in Dutch history would not find this a problem, but if this is to be the definitive and most accessible account of the rise and fall of the Dutch Republic, as the professional critic suggests, then it is a serious flaw.
