Summary "Jeronimy Clifford's life is used as a case study for how life in a conquered colony shaped what it meant to be English outside of England. The afterlife of Clifford's case shows the salience of his story in new contexts and the unresolved tensions about the meanings of colonial subjecthood, Anglo-Dutch relations, and the legacy of England's seventeenth-century empire"- Provided by publisher
