One regular claim that we got to hear again and again from the dominant culture was that \u201c<em>The Netherlands is \u2018our\u2019 country and if you don\u2019t like it, you should leave<\/em>\u201d. Usually, the dominant culture insisted that we should focus on White Dutch culture and that any protestations were \u201creverse racism\u201d. There was a strong focus on what makes \u201cour Netherlands\u201d, \u201cour country\u201d and \u201cour history\u201d at the expense of anyone that dared question these dominant narratives. Simultaneously, many White Dutch took offense at the focus on the rights and needs of People of Color. \u201c<em>We are the most tolerant country in the world!<\/em>\u201d we often heard.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that history matters in order to understand our present day politics and culture. I am convinced that the key to understand where we are today resides within a historical continuum that started more than half a millennium ago. Because of these beliefs it is that, together with my regular blogging and usual topics, I will also devote the entire month of January to cover topics of White Dutch History. Since the dominant culture took issue with the fact that People of Color occupied a central role during the Zwarte Piet\/ Black Pete media uproar, I am going to put my lens on White Dutch history. I will blog about some of its key moments and how the Empire has intervened in every continent and dozens of countries. I will try and bring to light how the politics and culture of the White Dutch Empire have shaped the history of so much of the world (from South Africa to Brazil to Indonesia to the Transatlantic Slave Trade and beyond). The dominant culture was clamoring for attention and acknowledgement. I am ready to provide that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From mid October till well into December I blogged extensively about the character of Zwarte Piet\/ Black Piet and his place within Dutch history and contemporary culture.
