      abstract = {"Romney locates the foundations of the early modern Dutch  empire in interpersonal transactions among women and men.  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"--},
