Zutphen, Walburgpers, 2025. 208 pp. 20 b./w. ills. Orig. blind stamped blue cloth, lettered gilt to spine, gilt vignette to upper board, d./j. 8vo. (Werken uitgegegeven door de Linschoten-Vereeniging, 125).In 1667, the people of Zeeland conquered territory around the Suriname River. Previously, the English had seized land here to establish a plantation colony. During this period, the foundation was laid for the Surinamese plantation economy, which relied on the labor of enslaved people. Based on three accounts by the Dutch in the final decades of the seventeenth century, this publication sheds light on Atlantic sea voyages and the early colonization of Suriname. The ships they traveled on transported supplies, tools, soldiers, and migrants across the ocean with a view to further strengthening colonial power. The travelers arrived in a colony whose survival was far from certain. Indigenous people and enslaved Africans rose in revolt, there was a severe food shortage, and many also died from disease. The people of Zeeland soon sold the colony, after which it came into the hands of the Society of Suriname. Through these travel accounts, this book portrays this early period of colonial transition. - Text in Dutch.
