Marrigje Paijmans is Assistant Professor in Dutch Literature at the University of Amsterdam. She was awarded the KNAW Early Career Award 2023 for investigating early modern literature from a critical perspective, thus recovering marginalised voices and balancing our understanding of the past. She has published widely on neerlandophone literature regarding, for example, Spinozist settlerism in North America, blackface in seventeenth-century theatre, and Afro-Surinamese resistance in plantation poetry. Karwan Fatah-Black is Senior Researcher at the Royal Dutch Institute for Caribbean and Southeast Asia Studies (KITLV-KNAW) and University Lecturer at Leiden University. Since completing his PhD (2013), he has studied the history of the Atlantic world, enslavement, and emancipation strategies. In partnership with museums and heritage institutions, he is working on creating new narratives about the colonial past and postcolonial futures.
