Twentieth Century Suriname: Continuities & Discontinuities In A New World Society

Rosemarijn Hoefte

4/5 ( ratings)

In spite of its striking diversity, Suriname is still one of the most unknown countries in the Western Hemisphere. Following independence in 1975, but particularly after a military coup d'etat in 1980, the eyes of the world have turned more frequently to Suriname. This attention however, has contributed very little to a better understanding of the country's complex and fascinating developments. Combining a broad thematic approach with a focus on long-term developments in that country, Twentieth Century Suriname consists of 13 chapters that discuss the main trends with respect to major areas of research. Topics such as Surinamese politics and economics as well as its social, religious and cultural aspects are covered by the best contemporary specialists on Suriname in the United States, The Netherlands, and Suriname. This book provides an accessible introduction to Suriname for a general audience, including graduate and undergraduate students, and an authoritative 'state of the art' review for Surinamese specialists."
