De Indische PodcastBiografie Franz Junghuhn 'Leven op een vulkaan'Ulbe Bosma ‘Leven op een vulkaan. Franz Junghuhn – Een biografie' Uitgeverij AthenaeumIn deze aflevering bespreken we een mooie biografie over de beroemde Duits-Nederlandse natuurwetenschapper Franz Junghuhn die medio 19e eeuw baanbrekend werk verrichtte op Java. Als geen ander kende hij de vulkanen van dit eiland, hij beklom ze allemaal, legde vast wat vast viel te leggen, en ging het gevecht aan met de academische wereld en het gouvernement. Biograaf Ulbe Bosma (hoogleraar VU Amsterdam) leest voor. Alexander Reeuwijk (Azië Magazine) beschouwt de figuur Junghuhn, Peter van Riel recenseert het boek.2025-07-2911 min

Wir haben es in der Schule gelernt: Die «Entdecker» aus Europa «entdeckten» und «eroberten» Amerika. Aber wie die britische Historikerin Caroline Dodds Pennock in ihrem Buch «On Savage Shores» schreibt, setzte kurz nach 1492 auch eine Gegenbewegung ein. Indigene Menschen aus Nord- und Südamerika reisten nach Europa – Sklaven, Händlerinnen, Diplomaten und Forscherinnen –, und sie entdeckten eine Welt, die Ihnen exotisch und fremd vorkam. Eine Welt, die sie beeinflussten und mit aufbauten.
In dieser Episode erfährst du:
Wie zahlreich Indigene nach 1492 nach Europa reisten.

What can sugar teach us about global history? Plenty, as Ulbe Bosma demonstrates in his new book. “The World of Sugar” is a sweeping narrative of how sugar emerged from India and China to conquer the world: generating both enormous riches and endemic poverty, powered by sophisticated networks of capital and technology as well as brutal labour regimes. Bosma examines how the human penchant for sweetness has shaped politics and economics for centuries, laying the foundations for modern capitalism and globalization.2023-05-0959 min
