Title:	Dr. Mark Meuwese: "Brothers in Arms, Partners in Trade Dutch-Indigenous Alliances in the Atlantic World 1595 - 1674"
Description:	Brothers in Arms, Partners in Trade Dutch-Indigenous Alliances in the Atlantic World 1595 - 1674 Dr. Mark Meuwese, UW History Where: 3M60 Manitoba Hall When: Friday, January 18th 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. History Seminar Series Winter 2013 In this new seminar series UW history faculty and other historians present and share their latest research. Seminars will be held once a month. Everyone is welcome to attend. In this first seminar Mark Meuwese will discuss his new book Brothers in Arms, Partners in Trade on the alliances between the Dutch West India Company and non-European peoples in the Atlantic World. The book examines Dutch alliances with Indigenous nations and rulers in New Netherland (New York), Brazil, Angola/Kongo, and the Gold Coast(Ghana) during the seventeenth century. The goals of this book are twofold: first, to globalize and to bring comparative perspectives to the history of Indigenous-European relations in North America; secondly, to correct misconceptions about the role of the Dutch in the creation of the Atlantic World, a region that interconnected West Africa, Europe, and the Americas through trade, war, and cultural exchange from 1450 to 1850.
