Shaping a Dutch East Indies

Shaping a Dutch East Indies discusses the construction of knowledge in Francois Valentyn's multi-volume account of the trading empire of the Dutch East India Company from 1724-1726, and the foundational role it played in Dutch perceptions of the East Indies as an imperial space for more than a hundred years after its publication.
