In this book The Dutch Transatlantic slave trade: New methods, perspectives, and sources, a new generation of scholars offers fresh perspectives on the history of the Dutch slave trade. 

Traditionally, Dutch research has focused on business practices, often overlooking the enslaved and the complexities of illegal trade and violence. By experimenting with innovative methodologies and underutilised primary sources, this volume reveals the potential to uncover perspectives of enslaved people aboard slave ships, to investigate unstudied areas like sexual violence, and to examine the roles of Dutch elite in the trade.
