Abstract

The Tasman Map delves into the story of the first Dutch voyages to Australia, set against the background of the struggle of the newly formed Dutch Republic to gain its independence from the Kingdom of Spain and the struggle of the Dutch East India Company for trade supremacy in the East Indies against its Portuguese, Spanish and English rivals. Over a period of only forty years from 1606 to 1644 and based on sixteen separate discoveries the first map of Australia took shape. The Tasman Map shows a recognisable outline of the north, west and south coasts of Australia that was not to change for another 125 years until the British explorer James Cook charted the east coast in 1770. It was in 1925 and 1933 that the Mitchell Library in Sydney, Australia, acquired both the Tasman Huydecoper Journal and the Tasman Bonaparte Map. The story of how the library managed to acquire these treasures of Dutch exploration and cartography will bring new recognition to these icons of both Dutch and Australian history.

Abstract

Europa heeft sinds het einde van de vijftiende eeuw intensieve contacten met Midden-Afrika. Het koninkrijk Kongo werd in de loop van de zestiende eeuw reeds tot het katholicisme en de westerse cultuur bekeerd. Later verdween het als een Atlantis uit het westerse geheugen. In het laatste kwart van de negentiende eeuw moest de witte vlek in het hart van Afrika opnieuw ingekleurd worden. In 1885 slaagde Leopold II erin om Congo als privébezit te verwerven. Het bleef in zijn handen tot 1908. Na het uitbreken van het rode rubberschandaal was het van 1908 tot 1960 de kolonie van België. De eerste Nederlandstalige beschrijving van het koninkrijk Kongo dateert van 1596. Daarna blijft Congo de interesse van schrijvers allerhande opwekken. Het Nederlandstalige Congoproza weerspiegelt de Europese houding ten opzichte van Midden-Afrika. De eerste werken zijn beschrijvingen van land en volk of verslagen van handelaars. Later leggen vooral missionarissen en kolonialen in fictie of verblijfsverslagen hun Congo-ervaringen vast. Tijdens de koloniale periode ondersteunen de meeste Nederlandstalige teksten de kolonisatie en beklemtonen ze de morele plicht van België om het primitieve Congo te beschaven en te bekeren. Toch zijn er een aantal auteurs die een ander geluid laten horen. Ze maken kritische opmerkingen bij de kolonisatie of zijn er zelfs volledig tegen gekant. Koloniseren om te beschaven biedt een overzicht van de veranderende relatie tussen België en Midden-Afrika en van de uiteenlopende standpunten die de schrijvers ten opzichte van de kolonisatie innemen. Het Nederlandstalige Congoproza verschaft een boeiende inkijk in het Belgische koloniale verleden en vult een leemte in de Nederlandse literatuurgeschiedenis.

Abstract

"L'objectif de cet ouvrage est d'interroger la notion de "dialogues interculturels" sans a priori méthodologique, mais aussi sans naïveté idéologique. En prenant en compte un large corpus d'oeuvres (fictionnelles ou non : romans, récits de voyage, autobiographies...), ainsi que différents médias (textes, peinture, cinéma...), du XIXe au XXIe siècle, il est possible de déceler de nombreux échanges interculturels, qu'ils soient de nature verbale ou non-verbale. Ces échanges, qui donnent lieu parfois à des malentendus, sont souvent asymétriques, y compris à une époque très récente : la colonisation est un phénomène historique dont les répercussions n'ont pas fini de se manifester. On trouvera, dans ce volume, des études portant sur des voyageuses européennes en Orient, mais aussi sur un voyageur égyptien en Allemagne ; sur des romanciers et peintres français et allemands, mais aussi sur des écrivains francophones et des cinéastes africains ; sur des figures de l'"entre-deux culturel", qu'elles apparaissent comme des passeurs ou comme des personnes incarnant les difficultés dialogiques. Ce livre collectif souhaite s'inscrire dans le cadre d'une histoire culturelle transnationale, apte à penser tout à la fois les constructions identitaires plurielles et les multiples formes de communication interculturelle."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

The refugee question occupied centre stage at every political debate in Europe since 2015. Starting from the "long summer of migration", the polarization of opinions and attitudes towards asylum seekers among citizens of the European Union has grown increasingly. The divergence between hospitality and hostility has become evident in political reactions as well. The focus of this book bon this polarization, on the positive and negative attitudes, representations and practices, as well as on the interactions, at the local level, between majority populations and asylum seekers in the context of the 2015-18 reception crisis. This book has three objectives. First, it intends to examine public opinion towards asylum seekers and refugees through a European cross-national perspective. Second, it explains the public opinion polarization by focusing on pro- and anti-migrant mobilization, and investigating the practices of hospitality and hostility in local communities. The third objective is to understand asylum seekers' and refugees' own perceptions of receiving countries and their asylum systems. These issues are specifically debated in the Belgian case. The other national case studies include Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Greece and Italy, and have been chosen based on preliminary research on the policy system, public opinion, and geopolitical position. This book represents the main output of the research project entitled "Public opinion, mobilizations and policies concerning asylum seekers and refugees in anti-immigrant times (Europe and Belgium)" supported by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO/ BRAIN-be).

Abstract

Francisco Canto was a US Border Patrol agent from 2008 to 2012. In this extraordinary account, he describes his work in the desert along the Mexican border. He tracks humans through blistering days and frigid nights. He detains the exhausted and hauls in the dead. The line he is sworn to defend, however, begins to dissolve. Haunted by nightmares, Canto abandons the Patrol for civilian life - but he soon faces a final confrontation with the world he believed he had escaped.

Abstract

Borders of Belonging investigates a pressing but previously unexplored aspect of immigration in America—the impact of immigration policies and practices not only on undocumented migrants, but also on their family members, some of whom possess a form of legal status. Heide Castañeda reveals the trauma, distress, and inequalities that occur daily, alongside the stratification of particular family members' access to resources like education, employment, and health care. She also paints a vivid picture of the resilience, resistance, creative responses, and solidarity between parents and children, siblings, and other kin. Castañeda's innovative ethnography combines fieldwork with individuals and family groups to paint a full picture of the experiences of mixed-status families as they navigate the emotional, social, political, and medical difficulties that inevitably arise when at least one family member lacks legal status. Exposing the extreme conditions in the heavily-regulated U.S./Mexico borderlands, this book presents a portentous vision of how the further encroachment of immigration enforcement would affect millions of mixed-status families throughout the country.

Abstract

"Long before the mid-nineteenth century, hundreds, if not thousands of people were constantly moving between the United States and British North America and Leghorn, Genoa, Naples, Rome, Sicily, Piedmont, Lombardy, Venice and Trieste. Predominantly traders, sailors, transient workers, Catholic priests and seminarians, this group relied on the exchange of goods across the Atlantic to solidify transatlantic relations; during this period, stories about the New World passed between travellers through word of mouth and letter writing. Based on a vast and in-depth examination of newly-found personal and commercial correspondence, Blurred Nationalities is a major addition to the study of transatlantic mobility and migration between North America and the Italian peninsula. Blurred Nationalities challenges the idea that the level of national origin, for instance, Italianness, comprises the most only significant feature of this group's identity, revealing the multifaceted personalities of the people involved in these exchanges."--

Abstract

"In Imagining the Americas in Print, Michiel van Groesen reveals the variety of ways in which publishers and printers in early modern Europe gathered information about the Americas, constructed a narrative, and used it to further colonial ambitions in the Atlantic world (1500-1700). The essays examine the creative ways in which knowledge was manufactured in printing workshops. Collectively they bring to life the vivid print culture that determined the relationship between the Old World and the New in the Age of Encounters, and chart the genres that reflected and shaped the European imagination, and helped to legitimate ideologies of colonialism in the next two centuries"--
