Decolonising the Caribbean Dutch Policies in a Comparative Perspective

Oostindie and Klinkers add depth to the study of post-World War II Caribbean decolonization with their comparative analysis of the former Dutch colonies of Surinam, the Netherlands Antilles, and Aruba. Their detailed analysis of Dutch decolonization policies of the 1940s cover such issues as the political processes of decolonization, development aid, the Dutch Caribbean exodus to the metropolis, and cultural antagonisms. Putting these issues within a larger context, the authors skillfully contrast the decolonization process of Dutch Caribbean states with the current policies pursued in the non-sovereign Caribbean by France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States.Oostindie, Gert is the author of 'Decolonising the Caribbean Dutch Policies in a Comparative Perspective', published 2004 under ISBN 9789053566541 and ISBN 9053566546.
