“…In 2011, C. Antunes and F. Ribeiro Da Silva reconnected the debate about transnational ties with its 1970s' origin. 97 Partnerships contracted in Amsterdam between people from diffferent backgrounds were cross-cultural in nature, and included people with diffferent ethnic backgrounds and religious beliefs. These cross-cultural, transnational and trans-imperial transactions were common throughout the early modern Atlantic world.…”

Since 1850, thousands of publications have been written about migration to and from the Netherlands. Migration is an important topic for political and social debates, now as well as in the past. The nature of migration changes continuously, as does the way in which migration and integration issues are problematized, and changes are a reason for migration historians to take a fresh look at migrations in the past. Over time, the focus has moved from legal, to demographic, economic, sociological and emancipatory, and back to legal and economic. In recent decades, the analytical and comparative approach has been strengthened: between categories of migrants, between men and women, and between countries. This is the way forward.

Powers of attorney are often interpreted as evidence of trust among the parties involved. We build a novel dataset of notarized powers of attorney, capturing a wide variety of agency relationships in four large French commercial cities in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to test hypotheses on the relational basis of economic relationships. We find little support for the idea of a radical shift from personal to anonymous relationships during our period. Our results point to more nuanced transformations. The preference for proxies in the same occupation as the principal somewhat declined, while professional proxies emerged and principals used relational chains, especially involving notaries, to find proxies.

Hybrid Atlantics: Future Directions for the History of the Atlantic World

Fundamental features of the early modern Atlantic -like the slave trade, the rise of experimental science and long-distance commerce, and the proliferation of religious confessions -were transnational in character. This essay surveys recent work in the field, emphasizing emerging scholarship on the hybrid nature of the Atlantic world. Yet for hybridity to work as a useful analytical category, we need to do away with the narrative of "Northwestern Europeanization" as the normative model. We explore how ecology and place, science and medicine, and diasporic or extra-national groups like smugglers, Jews, and slaves helped create an Atlantic that was defined more by its cross-cultural encounters, local contexts, and mixed identities than by the power of European states.
