Abstract

This paper charts the emergence of social scientific studies on Black kinship from its origins in the United States and colonial Caribbean to its revivification in the decolonisation-era Netherlands. Demonstrating how racial knowledge was from its inception a tool of transnational governance, the author argues that Black kinship studies also informed the development of the Dutch welfare state in the aftermath of decolonisation. Drawing upon Dutch state – and municipal – archival sources as well as the private papers and published works of key figures in Black kinship studies, she charts how publicly-funded sociologists and anthropologists tracked Dutch citizens from Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles through the metropolitan welfare state, producing a corpus of knowledge that connected kinship and welfare reliance. Though Caribbean-born Dutch citizens opposed the racist assumptions of state-funded scholarship, research on Black kinship ultimately informed the course of Dutch welfarism from the expansion of interventionist programmes in the 1970s to retrenchment in the 1990s.

改革和紧缩的科学:黑人亲属关系研究,非殖民化和荷兰福利国家
从黑人亲属关系在美国和加勒比殖民地的起源到黑人亲属关系在非殖民化时期荷兰的复兴,本文描绘了黑人亲属关系的社会科学研究的出现。为了证明种族知识从一开始就是跨国治理的工具,作者认为黑人亲属关系研究也为荷兰非殖民化后福利国家的发展提供了信息。利用荷兰国家和市政的档案资料,以及黑人亲属关系研究中关键人物的私人论文和出版作品,她描绘了公共资助的社会学家和人类学家如何通过大都市福利国家追踪苏里南和荷属安地列斯群岛的荷兰公民,产生了一个将亲属关系和福利依赖联系起来的知识语库。虽然加勒比出生的荷兰公民反对国家资助奖学金的种族主义假设,但对黑人亲属关系的研究最终为荷兰福利主义的进程提供了信息,从20世纪70年代干预主义计划的扩张到90年代的紧缩。

期刊介绍: Contemporary European History covers the history of Eastern and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, from 1918 to the present. By combining a wide geographical compass with a relatively short time span, the journal achieves both range and depth in its coverage. It is open to all forms of historical inquiry - including cultural, economic, international, political and social approaches - and welcomes comparative analysis. One issue per year explores a broad theme under the guidance of a guest editor. The journal regularly features contributions from scholars outside the Anglophone community and acts as a channel of communication between European historians throughout the continent and beyond it.
