The Atlantic Sugar Trade at the End of the Seventeenth Century.This book surveys the role of Amsterdam’s Sephardic merchants in the westward expansion of sugar production and trade in the seventeenth-century Atlantic. It offers an historical-geographic perspective, linking Amsterdam as an emerging staple market to a network of merchants of the “Portuguese Nation,” conducting trade from the Iberian Peninsula and Brazil. Examining the “Myth of the Dutch,” the “Sephardic Moment,” and the impact of the British Navigation Acts, Yda Schreuder focuses attention on Barbados and Jamaica and demonstrates how Amsterdam remained Europe’s primary sugar refining center through most of the seventeenth century and how Sephardic merchants played a significant role in sustaining the sugar trade.Sugar tradeNetherlandsAmsterdamHistory17th centurySugar workersNetherlandsAmsterdamHistory17th centurySephardimNetherlandsAmsterdamWorld historyImperialismJudaism and cultureHistory of Early Modern Europehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717030World History, Global and Transnational Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/719000Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000Jewish Cultural Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A6020Sugar tradeHistorySugar workersHistorySephardimWorld history.Imperialism.Judaism and culture.History of Early Modern Europe.World History, Global and Transnational History.Imperialism and Colonialism.Jewish Cultural Studies.940.903Schreuder Ydaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1207703BOOK9910483963603321Amsterdam's Sephardic merchants and the Atlantic sugar trade in the seventeenth century2786214UNINA
