Emmer, Piet, Henk den Heijer & Louis Sicking. (eds). - Atlantische Avontuur. De Lage Landen, Frankrijk en de Expansie naar het Westen 1500-1800.

Zutphen, Walburg Pers, [2010]. 255 pp. Ills (chiefly col.). Orig. hardcover (pictorial boards). 4to. In the course of the 16th century, Europe began to exploit areas around the Atlantic Ocean. Unlike in Asia, Europeans often had to take the production of export goods into their own hands. In the New World, however, they struggled with a shortage of labour. Indians were dying like flies from the diseases brought by the ships. In Africa, there was enough manpower, but the Europeans had no power there, because they themselves were not resistant to indigenous diseases. This paradox was very decisive for the development of the Atlantic economy between 1500 and 1800. From West Africa, Brazil and the Caribbean islands to the east coast of North America, the Low Countries actively participated in the production of and trade in tobacco, pearls, fur, tropical wood and slaves. However, they left the colonisation to the English, Portuguese and Spanish. In the Atlantic economy, France and the Netherlands were the less strong parties, and therefore dependent on each other. - Text in Dutch. - First published in French: Les Pays-Bas et l'Atlantique, 1500-1800 (Rennes, PUR, 2009).
