As West India Company ships began sailing westward in the early seventeenth century, soldiers, sailors, and settlers drew on kin and social relationships to function within an Atlantic economy and the nascent colony of New Netherland. In the greater Hudson Valley, Dutch newcomers, Native American residents, and enslaved Africans wove a series of intimate networks that reached from the West India Company slave house on Manhattan, to the Haudenosaunee longhouses along the Mohawk River, to the inns and alleys of maritime Amsterdam. This work pioneers a new understanding of the development of early modern empire as arising out of personal ties"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Dutch -- New York (State) -- History -- 17th century African Americans -- New Netherland Indians of North America -- New Netherland Women -- New Netherland Social networks -- New Netherland SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Women's Studies.
