Book Description
Memoir of Hendrick Zwaardecroon, commandeur of Jaffnapatam is a compelling historical account written in a straightforward yet engaging style. Hendrick Zwaardecroon offers readers an intimate look into the administration and governance of the Dutch East India Company in colonial Sri Lanka during the 17th century. Through vivid descriptions and meticulous details, Zwaardecroon paints a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs he faced as the commandeur of Jaffnapatam. The memoir is a valuable primary source for scholars and history enthusiasts interested in the Dutch colonial era in South Asia. Zwaardecroon's writing style is concise and informative, making this memoir a valuable resource for understanding the intricacies of colonial rule in the region. Hendrick Zwaardecroon, a seasoned Dutch East India Company official, penned this memoir to document his experiences and insights gained during his time as commandeur of Jaffnapatam. His firsthand accounts offer readers a unique perspective on colonial administration and the complexities of power dynamics in the region. I highly recommend Memoir of Hendrick Zwaardecroon to anyone interested in colonial history, Dutch colonialism, or the history of Sri Lanka.
Ethnography and Encounter
Author: Guido van MeersbergenPublisher: BRILL

Pages : 330
Book Description
The global operations of the East India Companies were profoundly shaped by European perceptions of foreign lands. Providing a cultural perspective absent from existing economic and institutional histories, Ethnography and Encounter is the first book to systematically explore how Company agents’ understandings of and attitudes towards Asian peoples and societies informed institutional approaches to trade, diplomacy, and colonial governance. Its fine-grained comparisons of Dutch and English activities in seventeenth-century South Asia show how corporate ethnography was produced, how it underpinned given modes of conduct, and how it illuminates connections across space and time. Ethnography and Encounter identifies deep commonalities between Dutch and English discourses and practices, their indebtedness to pan-European ethnographic traditions, and their centrality to wider histories of European expansion.
