dbo:abstract Russell Anthony Shorto (born February 8, 1959) is an American author, historian, and journalist who is best known for his book on the Dutch origins of New York City, The Island at the Center of the World. Shorto's research for the book relied greatly on the work of the New Netherland Project, now known as the New Netherland Research Center, as well as the New Netherland Institute. Shorto has been the New Netherland Research Center's Senior Scholar since 2013. In November 2017, he published Revolution Song: A Story of American Freedom, which tells the story of the American Revolution through the eyes of six Americans from vastly different walks of life. His most recent work is Smalltime: The Story of My Family and the Mob, published in February 2021. The book is a memoir, covering Shorto's own family history and his ancestors involvement in the American Mafia in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. (en) Russell Shorto (Johnstown (Pennsylvania), 8 februari 1959) is een Amerikaans schrijver, historicus en journalist, die vooral bekendheid geniet als de auteur van Nieuw-Amsterdam: de oorsprong van New York (Island at the Center of the World) en Amsterdam: A History of the World's Most Liberal City. Het eerstgenoemde boek, over de Nederlandse wortels van New York, is grotendeels gebaseerd op de gegevens van het New Netherland Project (tegenwoordig bekend onder de naam New Netherland Research Center), waar Shorto in 2013 gasthoogleraar was, en het New Netherland Institute. Amsterdam: A History of the World's Most Liberal City, gepubliceerd in oktober 2013, behandelt de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse hoofdstad vanaf de stichting, via de Gouden Eeuw tot aan het Amsterdam van vandaag de dag. Shorto woonde van november 2007 tot 2013 zelf in Amsterdam, waar hij directeur was van het John Adams Institute (JAI). Op 8 september 2009 werd hij benoemd tot Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau voor zijn bijdrage aan de betrekkingen tussen Nederland en de Verenigde Staten in de vorm van zijn publicaties en zijn werk als directeur van het JAI. Shorto, die in 1981 afstudeerde aan de George Washington University, schrijft tevens artikelen voor The New York Times Magazine. (nl)
