About White Lies And Black Markets: Evading Metropolitan
Product Description In this volume, Fatah-Black untangles the ways in which metropolitan authorities were defied and evaded in the process of making Suriname a productive plantation colony between 1650 and 1800. Review "Fatah-Black's work is important and valuable in moving this interesting phase of Surinamese history away from being thought of in terms of colonial or frontier history and seeing it instead as the study of Atlantic nodes of interaction in an integrating Atlantic economic network of trade, both legal and illegal." -- Trevor Burnard, University of Melbourne, in: Tijdschrift voor Sociale en Economische Geschiedenis / The Low Countries Journal of Social and Economic History, 13:2 (2016), pp.103-104 "Karwan Fatah-Black's White Lies and Black Markets provides a convincing case study, giving fascinating insights into the development of the early modern Dutch colony of Suriname as a product of - largely illegal - transimperial Atlantic connections." -- Felicia Gottmann, in: Journal of World History, 29:4 (2018), pp. 574-584 About the Author Karwan Fatah-Black, Ph.D. (2013), Leiden University, is a researcher and lecturer at that university. He has published on early modern maritime, colonial and Dutch history.
