The book explores how dramatic visions of antislavery provided a site for (re)mediating a white metropolitan--and at times a specifically Dutch--identity. It offers insight into the late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century theatrical modes, tropes, and scenarios of racialised subjection and considers them as materials of the \"Dutch cultural archive,\" or the Dutch \"reservoir\" of sentiments, knowledge, fantasies, and beliefs about race and slavery that have shaped the dominant sense of the Dutch self up to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46932144750743,"sku":"9789463726863","price":10791.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789463726863.webp?v=1771619091","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/repertoires-of-slavery-dutch-theater-between-abolitionism-and-colonial-subjection-1770-1810-9789463726863","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
