Book, Dutch Revolution, A: origins and oceanic projection[LS]

Occupying a small European space, at the mouth of the Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt rivers, the Netherlands played a central role in European politics and economy only from the 17th century onwards. Although they remained for longer only in the Caribbean, Indonesia, and Suriname, they left their indelible mark in Brazil with Nova Holanda. For more than a century, Brazilians have analyzed this period in our history, Dutch Brazil. The list of authors is long - Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen, Pereira da Costa, José Higino Duarte Pereira, Alfredo de Carvalho, Pedro Celso Uchoa Cavalcante, Joaquim Souza Leão, José Antônio Gonsalves de Mello, Luís Câmara Cascudo, José Honório Rodrigues, Evaldo Cabral de Mello, Leonardo Dantas Silva. This book, The Dutch Revolution: O rigens and Oceanic Projection, written by Roberto Chacon de Alburquerque, which the publisher Perspectiva brings to the reading public through the Studies collection, adds to this Brazilian tradition of studies on Dutch Brazil, participating in the process of analysis from this period of national history.
