Frank Dragtenstein, Kaási de rebellenleider. Het vroege verzet tegen de slavernij in Suriname
review of a book on one of the first Maroon bands in Suriname
Marrons
Nederland heeft een lange slavernijgeschiedenis. Onderdeel daarvan is de geschiedenis van marrons en marronage in Suriname, Guyana en de Cariben. Met name in Suriname is de vlucht uit de slavernij en strijd tegen de koloniale plantages heel belangrijk geweest, maar als onderdeel van de Nederlandse geschiedenis nauwelijks bekend

Eigendomsstrijd
Property struggle: The history of slavery and emancipation in Suriname would be the title in English of this rich study by one of the upcoming young Dutch historians of slavery.Karwan Fatah-Black rightfully claims that until now most studies of slavery in Suriname have focused on plantation slavery, slave trade, and marronage, without including developments in the colony's capital, Paramaribo, or the free non-white inhabitants, as he calls them.T…

Dutch Dealings with the Slavery Past
Disrupting the Canon
In 2002, a national slavery monument was unveiled in Amsterdam by the Dutch Queen Beatrix. Some consider it a commemoration of the victims of Dutch slavery. Others see it as a celebration of the abolition of a horrific system of oppression.1
July 1, emancipation day in Suriname
Focuses on the annual celebration at the 1st of July of the abolition of slavery in Suriname (1863). Author describes how Emancipation Day celebrations in Suriname have developed over time. He relates how in the earliest celebrations after 1863 Emancipation Day was used by the authorities, in collaboration with the Moravian Church, to discipline and control the formerly enslaved, and thus strengthen the colonial status quo. This was done by empha…

Suriname and the Abolition of Slavery
Debunking Debts Image and Reality of a Colonial Crisis
The historical image of Suriname – and maybe of colonies in general – is dominated by stereotypes, as well as by assumptions which are far too facile. That at least is the impression left after comparing a variety of primary sources on Suriname with the historiography of this colony. One small example will suffice. Almost every time slavery is introduced in literature on the history of Suriname, emphasis is placed on the fact that it was one of t…
Surinaams contrast
In-depth study of the Suriname plantations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Based on archival research in England, Suriname, and the Netherlands, this book focuses on the idea that there existed a precarious balance between super exploitation and survival on the coffee, sugar, and cotton plantations
Surinaams contrast
Plantages en slaven vormden meer dan twee eeuwen de kern van de Surinaamse maatschappij. Surinaams contrast biedt op basis van een bijna tienjarig onderzoek van Nederlands, Surinaams en Engels archiefmateriaal over enkele honderden plantages de meest uitvoerige en diepgaande studie over deze tweeëenheid. De studie schetst een levendig en gedetailleerd beeld van de Surinaamse samenleving in de achttiende en negentiende eeuw. Aangetoond wordt dat e…
The Suriname rat race
Preluding a dissertation on the subject, the author discusses the history of labour and technology on sugar plantations in Suriname. He discusses technical innovations in the factory and in the field as well as the development of productivity and profitability. Van Stipriaan concludes that the introduction of more advanced technology did not have to wait for the abolition of slavery
