In this paper, we perform a centrality analysis of a directed hypergraph representing attacks by indigenous peoples from the Lesser Antilles on European colonial settlements, 1509–1700. The results of central attacks with respect to at- tacked colonial force, member of attack alliances, and year and location of attack are discussed and compared to a non-relational exploratory analysis of the data. This comparison points to the importance of a mixed methods approach to enhance the analysis and to obtain a complementary understanding of a network study. </span></p> </div> </div> </div>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Historical Network Research}, author={Shafie, Termeh and Schoch, David and Mans, Jimmy and Hofman, Corinne and Brandes, Ulrik}, year={2017}, month={Oct.}, pages={52–70} }
