Recenzii

'In this valuable new book, David Freeman has illuminated the complexity and importance of Dutch commercial connections with the Rio e la Plata in the seventeenth century, thus revising our understanding of both colonial administration and the organization of the regional economy. Based on impressive archival research, this well-researched volume thus provides valuable new insights into the form and structure of Dutch and other foreign trade through Buenos Aires to the silver-producing centers of the Andes.' Lyman Johnson, University of North Carolina, Charlotte
'A Silver River in a Silver World eloquently bridges the local and the global and provides a novel perspective on the making of the Atlantic World and early modern globalization. Freeman beautifully illustrates the importance of the interconnected histories of the Dutch and Spanish empires in the South Atlantic.' Fabricio Prado, College of William & Mary, Virginia
'Freeman has written a beautiful narrative history of a little-known episode of the Dutch in Spanish South America between 1648 and 1678 … This work fits into and illuminates Atlantic world, Dutch, Spanish, and South American history, as well as the history of early modern globalization … Recommended.' J. J. Butt, Choice
'… his excellent archival work and the use of multilingual sources, David Freeman reveals an internal contradiction to his overall picture in this regard.' Gilberto Guerra Pedrosa, Rechtsgeschichte - Legal History
