Description

Examining the interaction of the Dutch and the English in colonial New York and New Jersey, this have a look at charts the decline of European culture in North The us. Balmer argues that the combo of political intrigue, English cultural imperialism, and internal socio-economic tensions ultimately drove the Dutch away from their hereditary customs, language, and culture. He shows how this process, which played itself out so much visibly and poignantly within the Dutch Reformed Church between 1664 and the American Revolution, illustrates the trouble of maintaining non-English cultures and institutions in an increasingly more English world. A Best possible Babel of Confusion redresses probably the most historiographical neglect of the Middle Colonies and, within the process, sheds new light on Dutch colonial culture.
