Groesen, Michiel van
'The Legacy of Dutch Brazil' argues that Dutch Brazil (1624-1654) is an integral part of Atlantic history, and in doing so, proposes a radical shift in interpretation.
The Legacy of Dutch Brazil shows that repercussions of the Dutch infiltration in the Southern Hemisphere resonated across the Atlantic Basin and remained long after the fall of the colony. By examining its regional, national, and cosmopolitan legacies, thirteen authors trace memories and mythologies of Dutch Brazil and engage in broader debates on geopolitical and cultural changes at the crossroads of Atlantic and Latin American studies.
