Download or read book Secret Trades Porous Borders written by Eric Tagliacozzo and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the half century from 1865 to 1915, the British and Dutch delineated colonial spheres, in the process creating new frontiers. This book analyzes the development of these frontiers in Insular Southeast Asia as well as the accompanying smuggling activities of the opium traders, currency runners, and human traffickers who pierced such newly drawn borders with growing success. The book presents a history of the evolution of this 3000-km frontier, and then inquires into the smuggling of contraband: who smuggled and why, what routes were favored, and how effectively the British and Dutch were able to enforce their economic, moral, and political will. Examining the history of states and smugglers playing off one another within a hidden but powerful economy of forbidden cargoes, the book also offers new insights into the modern political economies of Southeast Asia.

Book excerpt: In het Indisch Lexicon zijn bijna 19.000 Indische woorden en begrippen, zoals ze in de Nederlandse taal vanaf ongeveer 1600 gebruikt zijn, vastgelegd, omschreven en in hun context geplaatst. Van ieder woord is de betekenis gegeven op basis van reeds bestaande Indonesische, Maleise, Javaanse, Soendanese en Nederlandse woordenboeken. Niet alleen enkelvoudige woorden maar ook samenstellingen en spellingsvarianten zijn opgenomen, met citaten uit de bron waarin het betreffende woord voorkomt. Dit lexicon is een belangrijk naslagwerk om de Indische woorden en uitdrukkingen die langzaam uit ons collectieve geheugen verdwijnen, vast te houden, weer tot leven te wekken en te verklaren binnen hun semantische en culturele context.

Book excerpt: Deze economisch-antropologische studie gaat over de rol van handelaren en handelsallianties in het proces van economische verandering dat in de tweede helft van de negentiende eeuw op het eiland Madura op gang kwam na de invoering van het rechtstreekse koloniale bestuur. Het boek begint met een uiteenzetting over de sociaal-geografische omstandigheden en de historische achtergronden van het proces van economische veranderingen, waarbij het eiland geleidelijk werd betrokken in het Indonesische handelsverkeer. In het tweede deel wordt ingegaan op de economie van het dorp Prenduan, waar De Jonge een jaar veldwerk deed, is een van de belangrijkste handelsplaatsen aan de zuidkust van Madura. Sinds de ontsluiting van het eiland spelen handelaren uit het dorp een voortrekkers rol in de Madurese economie. Het laatste deel van het boek beschrijft de belangrijkste groep ondernemers uit het dorp, de tabakshandelaren. Tabak vormt het voornaamste produkt van Madura. Handelaren uit Prenduan beheersen de handel in het oostelijke deel van het eiland en monopoliseren de belangrijke handelscontacten met Java. Hun activiteiten zijn in belangrijke mate bevorderd door de verbreiding en verfijning van de islam. Dankzij deze godsdienst konden ze zich als groep emanciperen en hun positie legitimeren. De ontwikkelingen in de takbakswereld zijn in hoge mate representatief voor de veranderingen in andere handelssectoren. De auteur verschaft in dit boek nieuwe inzichten in de aard van economische ontwikkeling in perifere gebieden, rol van handelaren in dit proces en de relatie handel en islam.

Download or read book Shaping a Dutch East Indies written by Siegfried Huigen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-04-24 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1724-1726, the Dutch clergyman François Valentyn published a 5,000-page account of the Dutch East India Company’s empire. It was the first and, for a long time, the only survey of the Dutch establishments in Asia and South Africa. Shaping a Dutch East Indies analyses how Valentyn composed this work and how it largely determined the Dutch perspective on the colonies in Asia until the 1850s. It seeks to highlight both the great diversity of knowledge gathered in Valentyn’s book and its geographical spread, from the Cape of Good Hope to Japan, with a focus on the Indonesian archipelago. Huigen’s book is the first in-depth study of Valentyn’s work, which is a foundational text in the history of Dutch colonialism.

Download or read book The Teaching and Learning of Arabic in Early Modern Europe written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-02-13 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together the leading experts in the history of European Oriental Studies. Their essays present a comprehensive history of the teaching and learning of Arabic in early modern Europe, covering a wide geographical area from southern to northern Europe and discussing the many ways and purposes for which the Arabic language was taught and studied by scholars, theologians, merchants, diplomats and prisoners. The contributions shed light on different methods and contents of language teaching in a variety of academic, scholarly and missionary contexts in the Protestant and the Roman Catholic world. But they also look beyond the institutional history of Arabic studies and consider the importance of alternative ways in which the study of Arabic was persued. Contributors are Asaph Ben Tov, Maurits H. van den Boogert, Sonja Brentjes, Mordechai Feingold, Mercedes García-Arenal, John-Paul A. Ghobrial, Aurélien Girard, Alastair Hamilton, Jan Loop, Nuria Martínez de Castilla Muñoz, Simon Mills, Fernando Rodríguez Mediano, Bernd Roling, Arnoud Vrolijk.
