Abstract
Citizenship arrangements in the Dutch empire were purposefully unequal and these inequalities were not resolved after the formal end of the empire and its imperial citizenship arrangements. Politicians and policymakers discussed various options for how to emancipate colonial subjects according to European norms of political participation, but without granting them full citizenship. This chapter contains an overview of why politicians in the past opted for this course of action, which will help to explain the current friction between the Dutch government and citizens with ties to former colonies. Research on (post)colonial citizenship is an interdisciplinary effort, requiring scholars to rethink the boundaries of the categories they work with, such as ‘citizenship’, ‘nationality’, ‘sovereignty’, and ‘law’. Broadening one’s understanding of what citizenship has meant in relation to the former Dutch colonies enables scholars not just to uncover formal inequalities, but also to explain why they came into being, how they operated, and what their legacies are.
