As the metropole and main harbor city of a colonial, maritime empire, much of Amsterdam's development has been the direct or indirect result of colonial activities. Yet, many aspects of colonialism and its lasting entanglements were not (widely) spoken about. In response, within the cultural sphere, de-colonial engagements have arisen across various institutions and related to multiple aspects of colonialism, most prominently the topic of slavery. This paper identifies and analyzes recent examples of such de-colonial engagementse.g., the exhibition Afterlives of Slavery, the installation Blood Sugar, and the publication Words Matterwhich have created or amplified conversations about colonial pasts. It seeks to show that artists and activists are often the initiators of these challenges to existing paradigms and perspectives, but that afterwards these voices are amplified by cultural and scientific institutions, before resonating within the public sphere. The recent (2019) controversy surrounding the use of the term "Golden Age" is a case in point. Yet, despite these amplifying de-colonial conversations, there are still significant silences and absences, revealing the borders of tolerance in terms of dealing with colonialism in the contemporary. The intention is therefore also to understand how these voices are not only amplified but also potentially altered or even limited as they move from activist arenas, through cultural institutions, into the wider public eye.

“They Concern Themselves Most with It”: Women, Family, and Alcohol Retail in Early Modern Cape Town

This article explores women’s role in the alcohol trade in Cape Town between 1680 and 1795, particularly their use of social and symbolic capital against the background of their male counterparts’ activities. While these women are conspicuous due to their direct involvement in the alcohol trade, they, too, did so within a context of spousal cooperation and family involvement. Several men entered the trade because of marriage into an alcohol retail family, while in many cases, wives were heavily involved in their husbands’ entrepreneurial activities. Some families were involved in this trade over several generations, mostly through the female line. This paper demonstrates that the greater social and economic freedom accorded women in the Dutch Republic during this period also occurred in the colonial space, including Cape Town.
