Nita, Amador Paulo, Cambionan Social Cu Un Yiu Di Tera Ta Sonja Cune Den E Partinan Igual Di E Reinado Nobo, Curaçao: Curaçaosche Courant, N.V.

Prólogo:

E gloria di e potencia colonialnan a topa e mesun destino cu esun di Hitler cual a keda dera bao di e ruinanan di Berlin. Na India a surgi un resistencia pasivo contra e dominio di inglesnan, mientras cu na Indonesia e pueblo a lanta cu forsa di arma contra e autoridad hulandes. Na Antiyas y Surnam e hendenan a sigui mas un sistema di evolucion door di cual nos representantenan a tuma parti na diferente conferencianan di Mesa Redondo na Den Haag. En conferencianan di Mesa Redondo aki tabatin como meta: “Creacion di un Reinado nobo den cual tur e partinan lo tin derechonan igual. E ministronan cu ta carga responsabilidad den e gobierno Hulandes basta cu nan ta di buena fe, poniendo un solo firma, por declara tanto Surnam como Antiyas partinan igual di e Reinado Nobo. Pero e pregunta ta keda: e ideal di e obrero hulandes cu o a nace na Europa of mehor dicho e ideal di e obrero Antiyano pa logra un salario y provisionan social igual na esun di e Hulandesnan Europeo tambe lo keda realisa? Tantu na Surnam como na Antiyas ta reina e opinion general cu e idea di Union y Cooperacion den Reinado no por hanja nan origen den e letternan morto di algún formula di ley na Conferencia di Mesa Redonda só. Ora a cambia Staatsregeling di Corsouw na 1937 a nace tambe e speransa cu lo bini un mehor comprension entre yiunan di tera di Antiyas y Hulandesnan Europeo. Ora cu Interim-Regeling a drenta na vigor banderanan a ser hisa den tur skina. “Biba autonomia! Nos ta liber”, asina pueblo tabata grita tur caminda cu bo pasa. Pero pronto a bini na cla cu ta Hulandesnan Europeo mes a keda cu tur cos di bisa riba “Isla” y tur otro caminda. Comercio ta casi completamente den man di estranheronan. Mayoria di nan ta hende cu a bini Antiyas pober manera raton di kerki algun anjanan pasá y cu awor a ser eleva den e posicion di gruponan poderoso den nos comunidad. E relacion di Hulandesnan Europeo y yiunan di tera cu ta traha na C.P.I.M. por ser compara cu esun di un maestro y su cria. Den e siguiente capitulonan lo mi trata di proba cu pa realizacion di e cambionan social cu e yiunan di tera ta sonja cu ne den e partinan uni di e Reinado Nobo, ta absolutamente necesario pa e Hulandesnan Europeo cu ta biba aki y e companianan Hulandes grandi, pone un fin na a previlegiamentu di Hulandesnan Europeo riba yiunan di tera.

Translation, using Glosbe:

The glory of the colonial powers met the same fate as that of Hitler who was buried under the ruins of Berlin. In India, passive resistance arose against British rule, while in Indonesia the people rose up by armed force against Dutch authority. In Antilles and Surinam the people followed a further system of evolution by which our representatives took part in various Round Table conferences in The Hague. The goal of these Round Table conferences was to create a new kingdom in which all parties would have equal rights. The ministers with responsibility in the Dutch government, provided they are of good faith, can, by signing a single signature, declare both Surinam and Antilles equal parts of the New Kingdom. But the question remains: will the ideal of the European-born Dutch worker, or rather the ideal of the Antilles worker, to achieve equal wages and social provisions as the European Dutch, also be realized? In both Surinam and Antilles there prevails the general opinion that the idea of Union and Cooperation in the Kingdom cannot find its origin in the dead letters of some formula of law at the Round Table Conference alone. The change of the Constitution of Curaçao in 1937 also gave rise to the hope of a better understanding between the native people of Antilles and the European Dutch. When the Interim Arrangement came into force, flags were raised on all corners. “Live independence! We are free”, so people shouted everywhere you passed. But it soon became clear that it was the European Dutch who had everything to say about the “island” and elsewhere. Trade is almost entirely in the hands of foreigners. Many of them have come to Antilles a few years ago like poor rats and now they have been elevated to the position of powerful groups in our community. The relationship between the Dutch Europeans and the children of the land who work at C.P.I.M. can be compared to that of a teacher and his dog. In the following chapters I will try to prove that for the realization of the social changes that the children of the earth dream of in the united parts of the New Kingdom, it is absolutely necessary for the European Dutch living here and the large Dutch companies, to put an end to the Dutch privilege of European over the children of the earth.

Compañías Holandesas de Navegación, Agentes de la Colonización Neerlandesa

Córdova-Bello, Eleazar, Compañías holandesas de navegación, agentes de la colonización neerlandesa, Sevilla: Escuela de Estudios Hispano-Americanos, 1964.

De la “Explicación”:

Amplio y complejo es el tema de las colonizaciones. La neerlandesa, en particular, ofrece además una variedad de modalidades y matices que se desplazan en el tiempo y el espacio, que hacen mas difícil su estudio y muy especialmente cuando se aspira a una síntesis de tan complicado proceso. Para lo mayor de nuestra intención, consideramos lo mas adecuado realizar un análisis de la colonización holandesa en su conjunto, tratando de destacar, dentro de cada caso particular de sus actuaciones y a través de su extenso ámbito geográfico, los rasgos, a nuestro juicio, mas significativos que señalan aquellas realizaciones, las cuales imprimen carácter a su empresa expansionista. El objetivo primordial de nuestro esfuerzo es el de establecer paralelos y diferencias con las otras colonizaciones que actuaron en América, respaldando esa comparación con la compulsación de documentos u otras fuentes históricas respetables. Consideramos que el método de estudio comparativo rendirá positivo resultado a la Historia de América, por modesto que fuere su aporte. Como consecuencia de este plan trazado, mantenemos en el curso de nuestro estudio ese espíritu de comparación objetiva. Los documentos que insertamos en el Apéndice respectivo, relativos a determinados aspectos sociales y jurídicos, tales como el buen trato al indio y al africano, dispuesto por legisladores hispanos, la inquebrantable defensa de los misioneros jesuitas al indígena brasileño, la protesta de los quákeros contra la esclavitud, las crueles sanciones aplicadas por los holandeses a los negros insurrectos de sus colonias en Guayana y otros expedientes de orden económico y político, tienen por finalidad corroborar las comparaciones ya formuladas en el texto de nuestro estudio. Entre la bibliografía para la colonización neerlandesa en Guayana, hemos utilizado el trabajo del General-Mayor P.M. Netscher intitulado Geschiedenis van de kolonien Essequebo, Demerary en Berbice, publicado en 1888, pero desconocido del mundo de habla hispana. En el encontramos unas consideraciones muy interesantes acerca del problema fronterizo entre Venezuela y la Guayana Británica que en esos momentos se ventilaba en Europa con ocasión de las actuaciones de la Comisión Internacional del Laudo, las cuales no han perdido actualidad. En el Apéndice IV reproducimos el capítulo que trata de la cuestión. Nuestro trabajo así concebido no pretende agotar el tema y solo aspira a contribuir modestamente al estudio de las colonizaciones, sin ambicionar a la perfección, de la cual está muy lejos.

From the book-cover:

In this compact and illuminating book Frank Tannenbaum, …, makes a mature and penetrating examination of attitudes toward the Negro in the Americas. By the evidence of history he contrasts the position of those parts of America settled largely from Great Britain, France and Holland with those parts settled largely from Spain and Portugal. He demonstrates that the national history and religious backgrounds of the European home communities strongly affected attitudes toward slaves and slavery in the New World. In the course of this illuminating discussion much light is thrown on present-day moral and legal aspects of the race problem in the United States and in Latin America.

La Piedra de Tropiezo

van Leeuwen, Boeli, La piedra de tropiezo, Mexico: Joaquín Mortiz, 1964.

Reviewed in Scholieren.com.

Willem Cornelis Jacobus (Boeli) van Leeuwen:

He was a son of Pieter Hendrik van Leeuwen, district master in Curacao, then Governor of Bonaire and later Governor of the Windward Islands. (...) As a writer, he debuted in 1959 with the novel De rots der struikeling for which he received in 1961 the Vijverberg Prize (now Ferdinand Bordewijk Prize). Within this work life plays an important role in Curaçao. This is often linked to major biblical themes about guilt, sexuality and responsibility. The paradoxes between individual and social environment are thus expressed.

From Dr. Thomas G. Mathews’ Preface:

The Institute of Caribbean Studies was established by the University of Puerto Rico in 1958 as a center for study and research. Although administratively a part of the University’s Faculty of the Social Sciences, the Institute is also active in the fields of the humanities and education. The objectives of the Institute of Caribbean Studies are (1) to encourage, support and serve as a center for scholarly research and exchange in the Caribbean; (2) to give disciplinary training to Caribbean specialists; (3) to stimulate interest in the Caribbean among university students, both Puerto Rican and visiting, offering them preliminary training and, when possible supporting them in advanced studies. The work of the Institute is supported in part by a grant from the Ford Foundation for the period 1963 – 1968.

Guide to the Sources in the Netherlands for the History of Latin America

Roessingh, M.P.H., Guide to the Sources in the Netherlands for the History of Latin America, The Hague: Government Pub. Office, 1968.

Reviewed in The Hispanic American Historical Review © 1969.

This guide provides a survey of the sources (documents, manuscripts, maps and topographical reproductions) in the Netherlands for the history of Latin America. The area dealt with covers all of Central and South America together with the islands belonging to the relative countries, the southern states of the United States up to the time they joined the Union, and the Philippines. The period dealt with is from the discovery of America up to 1914, or, as regards the Philippines and Puerto Rico, to 1898. In certain cases the terminus ante quem has been shifted nearer the present day, for example, if an archive or collections contains important documents from both before and after 1914 or a consecutive series of correspondence, etc, continues beyond 1914 and 1898 respectively.
The guide is subdivided according to the organization of the Dutch archives. This means that the most important repository for the purposes of the guide, the General State Archives, is dealt with first of all. The logical consequence is, therefore, that a number of archives deposited there are dealt with in the sequence laid down in the Survey 1953 (bibl. 23). The sequence of repositories of state archives is also in accordance with this Survey. Thereafter the municipal archives are dealt with in alphabetical order according to place-name. Chapter I also contains a list of certain departmental archives that have not been transferred. Chapter II deals with the archives of non-governmental institutions, which have been grouped systematically as far as possible. In Chapter III the libraries, museums and institutions which contain records relevant to this guide are dealt with alphabetically according to their location. Collections of maps of institutions already dealt with and of others are given in Chapter IV. Chapter V contains a brief communication on family archives and privately owned collections.

Estudio histórico acerca de la obra realizada por los holandeses durante el largo período de colonización de los siglos XVI y XVII, primero en África y luego en América. El autor busca hacer comprensible la mentalidad holandesa en el proceso de conquista y su empresa expansionista que los distinguió tanto de los españoles como de los portugueses. Córdova-Bello afirma que los holandeses tenían una orientación comercial que influyó en el estilo de colonización, más bien temporal y poco enraizada y con modalidades de trabajo rudo e incluso cruel a que redujeron a los esclavos y naturales de la región por ellos conquistados.

From the book cover:

In this study, translated from the Dutch, of the segmented societies of the Caribbean (in which are here included the Southern States of the USA), Dr. Hoetink distinguishes two variants: the Iberian or Latin, in those parts of the area colonized by Spain or Portugal; and the North-West European, in the areas where the colonial power was British, French or Dutch. He gives much attention to the difficulties, for the metropolitan outsider, of achieving objectivity in studies such as these. Dr. Hoetink discusses the origins, 'racial' and cultural, of these segmented societies, social mobility - or the lack of it - within them, and the psychological issues involved. Ultimately he sees the world as itself similarly segmented, with all the problems and possibilities inherent in a segmented society.

Onze twee groote, in de zeventiende eeuw tot stand gekomen organisaties voor het verkeer met vreemde werelddeelen hebben nog bij haar leven haar biografen gehad. Beeindigde echter Mr Pieter van Dam zijn beschrijving van de constitutie, de regeering en den handel der oost Indische Compagnie in 1701, bijna honderd jaar na haar stichting, Joannes de Laet gaf zijn Iaerlyck Verhael van de verrichtingen der Geoctroyeerde West Indische Compagnie in 1644 uit en behandelde in dedertien boeken zijner Historie de wederwaardigheden der in 1621 opgerichte maatschappij, waarvan de auteur zelf een der eerst bewindhebbers geweest was, slechts tot her jaar 1637.

Dutch West India Company (Dutch: Geoctroyeerde Westindische Compagnie or GWIC; English: Chartered West India Company) was a chartered company (known as the "GWC") of Dutch merchants. Among its founding fathers was Willem Usselincx (1567-1647?). On June 2, 1621, it was granted a charter for a trade monopoly in the West Indies (meaning the Caribbean) by the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands and given jurisdiction over the African slave trade, Brazil, the Caribbean, and North America.
