Abstract
In 1969, a group of activists in the Netherlands formed the Solidariteitscomité met de Black Panthers, or Black Panther Solidarity Committee, intended to support the Black Panther Party through a platform of public education, fund-raising, and political protest. Their efforts were part of a broader campaign for European solidarity launched by the African Americans themselves earlier that year. This article is the first to explore how Dutch activists understood their transatlantic partnership with the Black Panthers, arguing that their solidarity served not only to support the party but also to challenge American imperialism and Dutch colonialism in new ways.
1969年，荷兰的一群积极分子成立了“团结委员会”(solidariteitscomit met de Black Panthers)，即“黑豹团结委员会”，旨在通过公共教育、筹款和政治抗议等平台来支持黑豹党。他们的努力是当年早些时候由非裔美国人自己发起的更广泛的欧洲团结运动的一部分。本文首次探讨了荷兰活动人士如何理解他们与黑豹党的跨大西洋伙伴关系，认为他们的团结不仅支持了黑豹党，而且以新的方式挑战了美帝国主义和荷兰殖民主义。
