Editor's Note:
Vrij, tolerant, verlicht en gematigd. Al sinds de zeventiende eeuw zien Nederlanders zichzelf deze positieve kwalificaties toe. In Uitverkoren leggen Saskia Pieterse en Janneke Stegeman dat positieve zelfbeeld op de snijtafel. Waar komt het vandaan, en hoe valt het te rijmen met vier eeuwen koloniale overheersing?Uitverkoren begint met de Opstand en de oprichting van de voc en trekt lijnen door naar Nederland als democratische staat. Het boek werpt daarin een kritische blik op de calvinistische staatsmannen die ons land hebben vormgegeven. Zij zagen niet zichzelf maar anderen als intolerant en onderdrukkend. De Nederlandse protestantse natie beschouwden ze als uitverkoren, door God geroepen om het ware geloof te verspreiden. Nederlanders waren geestelijk en lichamelijk verheven boven alle anderen. Pieterse en Stegeman maken inzichtelijk hoe het Nederlandse positieve zelfbeeld nauw verweven is met protestants kolonialisme en racialisering van anderen. Het is hoog tijd die geschiedenis onder ogen te zien.
