In the nineteenth century, when the central cultural, political and financial institutions of the Netherlands were established, slavery was still part of the world empire. Nowadays, Dutch families, institutions, and governments are increasingly interested in their legal predecessors' role in the colonial and slavery past.
This book is a history of De Nederlandsche Bank in which the authors pay particular attention to the link with slavery, both as a factor in the economy and as a subject of political debate. Because De Nederlandsche Bank served Dutch trade interests and the Ministry of Colonies in the nineteenth century, the bank inevitably has points of contact with the history of slavery. The private involvement of DNB's directors in slavery, or in exceptional cases in the struggle for abolition, is also discussed.
