Book excerpt: Memoir of Hendrick Zwaardecroon, commandeur of Jaffnapatam is a compelling historical account written in a straightforward yet engaging style. Hendrick Zwaardecroon offers readers an intimate look into the administration and governance of the Dutch East India Company in colonial Sri Lanka during the 17th century. Through vivid descriptions and meticulous details, Zwaardecroon paints a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs he faced as the commandeur of Jaffnapatam. The memoir is a valuable primary source for scholars and history enthusiasts interested in the Dutch colonial era in South Asia. Zwaardecroon's writing style is concise and informative, making this memoir a valuable resource for understanding the intricacies of colonial rule in the region. Hendrick Zwaardecroon, a seasoned Dutch East India Company official, penned this memoir to document his experiences and insights gained during his time as commandeur of Jaffnapatam. His firsthand accounts offer readers a unique perspective on colonial administration and the complexities of power dynamics in the region. I highly recommend Memoir of Hendrick Zwaardecroon to anyone interested in colonial history, Dutch colonialism, or the history of Sri Lanka.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of Hendrick Zwaardecroon, Commandeur of Jaffnapatam (Afterwards Governor-General of Nederlands India), 1697: For the Guidance of the Council Ot Jaffnapatam, During His Absence at the Coast of Malabar This Memoir of Commandeur Zwaardecroon was, as stated, compiled and left by him in 1697 for the instruction and guidance of the Political Council of Jaffnapatam during his absence from the "Commandement" on special duty as Commissioner to the Coast of Malabar. He did not, however, return to his post, having been appointed Director of Surat on the termination of his Commission. Of the many compilations of the same kind prepared by successive Commandeurs on the standing orders of the Supreme Government at Batavia, this of Zwaardecroon is one of the most exhaustive and authoritative in regard to the Dutch Company's affairs in the north of the Island. It was quoted and referred to from time to time during almost the whole period of the Dutch rule in Ceylon. Its value will be found to consist chiefly in the light it throws on such matters as native industries, sources of revenue, and the condition of the people. Many obscure terms, some local, some obsolete, such as "officie gelden," "adigary," "alphandigo," &c., which occur in the old records, will be found explained here for the first time; and the topographical information is both full and accurate. In a word, the work bears the impress not only of a man of great powers of observation and sound judgment, but also of a strong and capable ruler. His independent character is shown in the plain-spoken manner in which he marks his resentment of the methods adopted at headquarters in regard to appeals from the native subjects of the Commandement. That a man possessed of such intelligence and independence of character should in the course of time have risen to the highest post in the Company's service, viz., that of Governor-General of Nederlands India, was in the natural course of events.

Download or read book Ethnography and Encounter written by Guido van Meersbergen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global operations of the East India Companies were profoundly shaped by European perceptions of foreign lands. Providing a cultural perspective absent from existing economic and institutional histories, Ethnography and Encounter is the first book to systematically explore how Company agents’ understandings of and attitudes towards Asian peoples and societies informed institutional approaches to trade, diplomacy, and colonial governance. Its fine-grained comparisons of Dutch and English activities in seventeenth-century South Asia show how corporate ethnography was produced, how it underpinned given modes of conduct, and how it illuminates connections across space and time. Ethnography and Encounter identifies deep commonalities between Dutch and English discourses and practices, their indebtedness to pan-European ethnographic traditions, and their centrality to wider histories of European expansion.
