Abstract
Johan Joor, The Netherlands versus Napoleonic Imperialism : the Anti-French Uprisings between 1806 and 1813. The conventional historiography has given us a stereotype image of the Dutch people as apathetic and orderly. A people incapable of violent collective action. However, research focussing on the period 1806-1813 shows it was punctuated by unrest and rioting. The innovations introduced by Louis Bonaparte or Napoleon did not leave the Batavians unmoved. They resisted in various ways every threat to their freedom and autonomy, which of course does not mean that their dissent expressed values identical with those of the Spaniards or the Neapolitans.
