Michiel van Groesen is Lecturer in Early Modern History at the University of Amsterdam.

'Dutch Brazil has languished at historiographic margins, self-contained and poorly integrated into the history of Latin America or the Atlantic world. This exemplary interdisciplinary collection recasts the history of this fascinating time and place. With its meticulous scholarship, Atlantic perspective, heterogeneous chapters, and lengthy bibliography, The Legacy of Dutch Brazil is a timely book of lasting value.' Alison Games, Georgetown University
