Colonialism, Capitalism and Racism
For a long time, Europe's colonizing powers justified their urge for expansion with the conviction that they were 'bringing civilization to territories where civilization was lacking.' This doctrine of white superiority and indigenous inferiority was accompanied by a boundless exploitation of local labor. Under colonial rule, the ideology that later became known as neoliberalism was free to subject labor to a capitalism tainted by racialized policies. This political economy has now become dominant in the Western world, too, and has reversed the trend towards equality. In Colonialism, Capitalism and Racism, Jan Breman shows how racial favoritism is no longer contained to 'faraway, indigenous peoples', but has become a source of polarization within Western societies as well.

The Eighty Years War
From Revolt to Regular War, 1568-1648The Eighty Years War explores the military puzzle of the Dutch Republic. When a revolt broke out in the Low Countries against the rule of the King of Spain, no one could foresee that it would ultimately lead to the partition of the provinces.Only the northern provinces succeeded in holding their own militarily. They formed an independent republic that was increasingly able to withstand the might of Spain. How did they do it? To answer that question this study examines the operations of the insurgents’ army and navy against the military power of the King. From the struggle for survival of the Beggars under William of Orange to the resounding victories at Nieuwpoort under Maurits and the Downs under Tromp, all these confrontations on land and at sea are discussed as a coherent whole in this, the first integrated military history of the Eighty Years War.In theme-based chapters, it looks at the tactical military revolution in the army and navy, the weaponry, the methods of recruitment, the organisation and financing of the armed forces, and the always tense relationship between the soldiers and seamen on one hand and the civilian population on the other. Numerous illustrations, many of them rarely seen, help to bring this past to life.This examination of the birth of the Dutch state from a military perspective is the first in a six-volume series on the military history of the Netherlands.Petra Groen (lead editor) is a senior researcher at the Netherlands Institute of Military History.
