Review Quotes: "Fascinating, comprehensive, and historically grounded, this essential volume reveals how the colonial past continues to shape multicultural Dutch society... It is an important counterpart to work on France, Britain, and Portugal." --Andrea Smith, Lafayette College, Easton, PA (USA) "A much-welcomed inquiry into processes and relations associated with colonialism and slave trade - notably, racism and disparities based in ascribed status. This book invites further exploration in and comparison with other European and extra-European contexts. " - Margarida Marques, New University of Lisbon
