Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no power quite like the strength of love. It cannot be surpassed, and if challenged, it brings sorrow and pain to those who resist. This is the story of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. It is a tale not only familiar within the city walls of Verona but also prevalent in other regions of our planet, revealing the short-sightedness of individuals opposing love for their own ends. A similar story occurred in the year 1698 in the Dutch region of the Zaanse Schans, located to the north of Amsterdam. It was a bustling industrial area, where mills processed imported raw materials into refined goods that were then sent back to Amsterdam, the global trade center, for distribution across the world. The town was under the influence of two families who held opposing religious beliefs. The Catholic family, led by Maarten van de Bergh, and the Calvinist Hooft family, headed by the vengeful Cornelis Hooft. Unfortunately, fortune did not favor Cornelis in his endeavors, while his rival Maarten flourished in his undertakings. Cornelis attributed his misfortune to the Catholics, accusing them of foul play. He couldn't comprehend why God did not act justly, considering his family's adherence to Protestant principles. The conflict between the families escalated to such an extent that it had repercussions on the investments made by the Sephardic financier Francisco Mendes do Pinto. Seeking a resolution, Francisco remained unaware of the impulsive nature of his nephew Parigi, a wealthy Jewish merchant from the Levant. Parigi, captivated by the radiant beauty of Cornelis's daughter Juliana, resolved to marry her and offered a bridal gift that Cornelis could not refuse, thus securing a life of financial tranquility. However, Juliana's heart yearns for a man she has always longed to meet - Ramboud, the hardworking son of her father's rival, Maarten van den Bergh. Ramboud tirelessly maintains the Cacao mill across the river. The marriage arrangement thrusts Juliana into Ramboud's embrace and seals their love for eternity. Will this tale unfold as tragically as the story of Juliet and Romeo, or will the power of love triumph over the desires of those who oppose it? This is a narrative that delves into religious conflicts during Holland's golden age, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of the Dutch people during a time of prosperity.

Book excerpt: In an utterly unique approach to biography, On Love and Tyranny traces the life and work of the iconic German Jewish intellectual Hannah Arendt, whose political philosophy and understandings of evil, totalitarianism, love, and exile prove essential amid the rise of the refugee crisis and authoritarian regimes around the world. What can we learn from the iconic political thinker Hannah Arendt? Well, the short answer may be: to love the world so much that we think change is possible. The life of Hannah Arendt spans a crucial chapter in the history of the Western world, a period that witnessed the rise of the Nazi regime and the crises of the Cold War, a time when our ideas about humanity and its value, its guilt and responsibility, were formulated. Arendt’s thinking is intimately entwined with her life and the concrete experiences she drew from her encounters with evil, but also from love, exile, statelessness, and longing. This strikingly original work moves from political themes that wholly consume us today, such as the ways in which democracies can so easily become totalitarian states; to the deeply personal, in intimate recollections of Arendt’s famous lovers and friends, including Heidegger, Benjamin, de Beauvoir, and Sartre; and to wider moral deconstructions of what it means to be human and what it means to be humane. On Love and Tyranny brings to life a Hannah Arendt for our days, a timeless intellectual whose investigations into the nature of evil and of love are eerily and urgently relevant half a century later.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Miracle of Amsterdam presents a “cultural biography” of a Dutch devotional manifestation. According to tradition, on the night of March 15, 1345, a Eucharistic host thrown into a burning fireplace was found intact hours later. A chapel was erected over the spot, and the citizens of Amsterdam became devoted to their “Holy Stead." From the original Eucharistic processions evolved the custom of individual devotees walking around the chapel while praying in silence, and the growing international pilgrimage site contributed to the rise and prosperity of Amsterdam. With the arrival of the Reformation, the Amsterdam Miracle became a point of contention between Catholics and Protestants, and the changing fortunes of this devotion provide us a front-row seat to the challenges facing religion in the world today. Caspers and Margry trace these transformations and their significance through the centuries, from the Catholic medieval period through the Reformation to the present day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, leading scholars pull together some of the most recent research on the key themes of Caribbean history: slavery, the transition to freedom, colonialism, and decolonization. Although all parts of the Caribbean experienced these phases, the manner in which they did so differed significantly, in part because of their distinct imperial histories. Contemporary fragmentation and insularity have led to significant variations in the region's historiography. The contributors examine the divergent historiographical and methodological developments in the British, French, Spanish, and Dutch Caribbean. By addressing these four linguistic areas of the Caribbean, they aim to overcome the traditional differences imposed by language and in the process to explore hotly debated subjects and new directions in Caribbean scholarship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offshore Attachments reveals how the contested management of sex and race transformed the Caribbean into a crucial site in the global oil economy. By the mid-twentieth century, the Dutch islands of Curaçao and Aruba housed the world's largest oil refineries. To bolster this massive industrial experiment, oil corporations and political authorities offshored intimacy, circumventing laws regulating sex, reproduction, and the family in a bid to maximize profits and turn Caribbean subjects into citizens. Historian Chelsea Schields demonstrates how Caribbean people both embraced and challenged efforts to alter intimate behavior in service to the energy economy. Moving from Caribbean oil towns to European metropolises and examining such issues as sex work, contraception, kinship, and the constitution of desire, Schields narrates a surprising story of how racialized concern with sex shaped hydrocarbon industries as the age of oil met the end of empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human dignity insists that every human deserves respect and a safe place to live. For many, this is not a reality. The essays collected here analyze the background of this problem in contemporary family life and society at large, with special emphasis on the role of women and on the Bible as a source of inspiration and transformation. The collection is the product of a six-year conversation on family, violence, and human dignity between the Protestant Theological University in Kampen, The Netherlands, and the Faculty of Theology at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, a North-South dialogue that included annual conferences, a series of responsive letters, and additional external responses.

Book excerpt: Dynastic Colonialism analyses how women and men employed objects in particular places across the world during the early modern period in order to achieve the remarkable expansion of the House of Orange-Nassau. Susan Broomhall and Jacqueline Van Gent explore how the House emerged as a leading force during a period in which the Dutch accrued one of the greatest seaborne empires. Using the concept of dynastic colonialism, they explore strategic behaviours undertaken on behalf of the House of Orange-Nassau, through material culture in a variety of sites of interpretation from palaces and gardens to prints and teapots, in Europe and beyond. Using over 140 carefully selected images, the authors consider a wide range of visual, material and textual sources including portraits, glassware, tiles, letters, architecture and global spaces in order to rethink dynastic power and identity in gendered terms. Through the House of Orange-Nassau, Broomhall and Van Gent demonstrate how dynasties could assert status and power by enacting a range of colonising strategies. Dynastic Colonialism offers an exciting new interpretation of the complex story of the House of Orange-Nassau‘s rise to power in the early modern period through material means that will make fascinating reading for students and scholars of early modern European history, material culture, and gender. This book is highly illustrated throughout. The print edition features the images in black and white, whereas the eBook edition contains the illustrations in colour.
