Geschiedenis van Suriname

"Journalistic account of the history of Suriname from the first attempts at colonization to 1994 is based on secondary sources. Coverage of topics is rather uneven; author pays much attention to slavery and abolition thereof and to Maroon society and history. Second part is devoted to 20th-century political and socioeconomic developments. The second and third editions of this work were published in 2000"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
