The Difficult Flowering of Surinam
In the months immediately preceding Surinam's independence, November 25, 1975, warning signals went up on both sides of the Atlantic. This small, ethnically plural society was torn by severe political conflict. Elections in November 1973 had brought an end to political collaboration between Creoles and Hindustanis, the country's two largest ethnic groups; and the Creoles, now in control of the government, were resolutely pushing (over Hindustani opposition) to sever their colonial ties with the Netherlands.

Independence, Colonial Relics, and Monuments in the Caribbean
Independence, Colonial Relics, and Monuments in the Caribbean is a collection of critical perspectives on independence and the legacies of colonialism in the post-colonial Caribbean. The contributors examine themes relating to culture, identity, gender, nationhood, heritage and historic preservation in the post-independent Caribbean.

A History of Literature in the Caribbean: English- and Dutch-speaking countries
For the first time the Dutch-speaking regions of the Caribbean and Suriname are brought into fruitful dialogue with another major American literature, that of the anglophone Caribbean.

Read separately or as a set of three volumes, the History of Literature in the Caribbean is designed to serve as the primary reference book in this area. The reader can follow the comparative evolution of a literary genre or plot the development of a set of historical problems under the appropriate heading for the English- or Dutch-speaking region. An extensive inde...
Sonny Boy
Herfst 1928: een jonge Surinaamse student trekt in Den Haag als kostganger in bij een gescheiden Hollandse vrouw met vier kinderen. Als ze een half jaar later zwanger van hem blijkt, is het schandaal niet te overzien. Maar ondanks armoede en discriminatie slaagt het stel er in de jaren die volgen in een gelukkig en ook voorspoedig bestaan op te bouwen met hun zoontje Waldy, alias Sonny Boy. Dan breekt de Tweede Wereldoorlog uit, en besluiten ze joden in huis te nemen - met alle consequenties van dien.
