Four Centuries of Dutch-American Relations
1609-2009
Since Henry Hudson discovered
Manhattan in 1609, the peoples of the
Netherlands and
North America have been inextricably linked.
Four Centuries of Dutch-American Relations, written by a team of nearly one hundred Dutch and American scholars, is the first book to offer a comprehensive history of this bilateral relationship. This volume covers the main paths of contacts, conflicts, and common plans, from the first exploratory contacts in the early seventeenth century to the intense and multifaceted exchanges in the early twenty-first. Based on the most up-to-date research,
Four Centuries of Dutch-American Relations will be for years to come a valuable and much-used reference work for anyone interested in the history and culture of the
United States and the
Netherlands and the larger transatlantic interdependent framework in which they are embedded.
