The remarkable autobiographical manuscript of Bik, which is here presented in English translation with annotations, provides a unique glimpse of the wide horizons of the world of Dutch colonialism, tracing his many journeys in Europe, the Dutch East Indies and Japan as well as across the oceans in the first half of the nineteenth century. In this work, Mikko Toivanen draws a parallel between Bik's colonial travels and the contemporary emergence of a new kind of travel within Europe, showing that the culture of colonial travel was intimately connected with notions of leisure and tourism being developed back home at the time. 600 10 $a Bik, Pieter Albert. 600 14 $a Bik, Pieter Albert. 650 0 $a Colonial administrators $z Netherlands $x Biography. 830 0 $a Colonial and global history through Dutch sources. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213013316.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B6E643B2840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
