It deserves a wide readership.? ?Anne Booth, SOAS University of London, UK ?By exploring how colonialism affected women?s work in the Dutch Empire this carefully researched book urges us to rethink the momentous implications of colonial exploitation on gender roles both in periphery and metropolis.? ?Ulbe Bosma, the Free University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands ?In this exciting and original book, Elise van Nederveen Meerkerk exposes how colonial connections helped determine the status and position of women in both the Netherlands and Java. The effects of these connections continue to shape women?s lives in both colony and metropole today.? ?Jane Humphries, University of Oxford, UK Recent postcolonial studies have stressed the importance of the mutual influences of colonialism on both colony and metropole. This book studies such colonial entanglements and their effects by focusing on developments in household labour in the Dutch Empire in the period 1830-1940. The changing role of households?, and particularly women?s, economic activities in the Netherlands and Java, one of the most important Dutch colonies, forms an excellent case study to help understand the connections and disparities between colony and metropole. The author contends that colonial entanglements certainly existed, and influenced developments in women?s economic role to an extent, both in Java and the Netherlands. However, during the nineteenth century, more and more distinctions in the visions and policies towards Dutch working class and Javanese peasant households emerged. Accordingly, a more sophisticated framework is needed to explain how and why such connections were ? both intentionally and unintentionally ? severed over time. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Economic History,$x2662-6500 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aImperialism 606 $aEconomics 606 $aCulture 606 $aLabor 606 $aHistory 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aEducation$xEconomic aspects 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aCultural Economics 606 $aLabor History 606 $aLabor Economics 606 $aEducation Economics 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aLabor. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aEducation$xEconomic aspects. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aCultural Economics. 615 24$aLabor History. 615 24$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aEducation Economics. 676 $a331.4094 676 $a331.409492 700 $avan Nederveen Meerkerk$b Elise$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0980137 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337671303321 996 $aWomen, Work and Colonialism in the Netherlands and Java$92235726 997 $aUNINA
