Book Description | “No people can reach full maturity as long as they remain burdened by an inherited sense of inferiority. For this reason, this book aims to awaken the self-esteem of the people of Suriname.” This is what Anton de Kom wrote in the chapter “History of the Homeland” in the book We Were Slaves in Suriname. De Kom realized that the people of Suriname, burdened by their colonial heritage, had a long and difficult road ahead of them to develop into a full nation. The book “We Were Slaves in Suriname” is... Partly a political commentary on Suriname's history, partly a cry for justice. This book was written, perhaps most importantly, by a citizen who, because of his dissenting views, had to experience colonial oppression first-hand. |
