De zeeofficier Adriaan Goekoop (1871-1912), telg uit een Goerees herenboerengeslacht, deed iets wat achteraf van aanzienlijk historisch belang is: hij schreef brieven. Levendige brieven aan zijn familie in Goedereede over zijn belevenissen en de vreemde, mooie maar vaak ook gruwelijke wereld waarin hij verzeild raakte. Behalve de brieven heeft Goekoop tal van foto’s nagelaten die zijn tochten over de aardbol prachtig illustreren. Nederland vocht toen in wat Nederlands-Indië heette een vuile koloniale oorlog uit. Goekoop was daarvan niet alleen getuige maar speelde zelf een belangrijke rol bij enkele cruciale acties. Vooral de ‘Indische’ brieven zijn een belangrijke aanvulling op ons begrip van deze fase van de koloniale geschiedenis en van het Indië van deze tijd.
Relationships Rights and Legal Pluralism
This interdisciplinary book brings together leading social and legal scholars to tackle the incompatibility of marriage laws with contemporary social reality in Europe. Their critique is based on the assumption that individuals should be able to choose how they organise their close relationships. The contributors emphasise the importance of pluralism of beliefs, values, cultures, and lifestyles and the consequent need for legal recognition to make individuals' private choices valid and respected. The first part of the book establishes the foundation for the subsequent chapters by exploring the advantages and challenges of focusing on values while accommodating relationship design plurality, the impact of the European Court of Human Rights on the issue, and the transformation of the institution of marriage. The second part presents different legal responses to non-state marriages, particularly religious marriages among Muslim communities, and proposals for reform. The third part of the book features empirical research on the marital experiences of two communities: Muslims and migrants. The chapters concentrate on polygyny among female converts to Islam, the importance of religious knowledge for practising Muslim women in securing rights in their marital relationships, transnational and interreligious marriages, and the impact of acculturative orientation and position in the dual labour market on the choice of life partner among Polish migrant women. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, and policymakers working in the areas of human rights law, family law, legal anthropology, law and religion, socio-legal studies, feminism and queer studies, and sociology of family.
Religious Ideas in Liberal Democratic States

Religious Ideas in Liberal Democratic States adds new context to the ongoing debate over the scope of religious freedom, drawing from a variety of perspectives to discuss the meaning of religion itself within a democratic state. This book argues that categorizing religion as a solely private affair is too narrow an interpretation and questions whether ideas like freedom, human dignity, and equality can be truly actualized in a neutral and secular state. Contributors explore the impact of religion, acknowledged or not, on legislation, human rights, and group rights through legal, historical, and sociological lenses. Scholars of constitutional law, jurisprudence, international law, and political science will find this book particularly useful.
