ABSTRACT
By way of an introduction to some of the key questions and topics we encounter when dealing with the Dutch colonial past, the editors of the publication The Future of the Dutch Colonial Past gathered for a roundtable discussion. Representing the different partner institutions and a variety of backgrounds and perspectives, the participants brought different views and perspectives to the table, offering readers an insight into the roles and responsibilities they see their institutions tasked with, and delineating or mapping out the different positions in the field.
