Early Modern Overseas Careers: East-Central Europeans as Jesuit Missionaries and Dutch East India Employees, ed. Igor Iwo Chabrowski and Natalia Królikowska-Jedlinska (CEU Press, 2025), 236 p.

The volume, edited by Igor Chabrowski and Natalia Królikowska-Jedlinska, explores individual journeys of Central and Eastern Europeans that led them to venture overseas as Jesuit missionaries or employees of the Dutch East India Company. While the chapters focus on individuals, the book itself addresses early modern globalization and its social, ethnic, and political ramifications.
