Op enkele incidenten na heeft het toezicht op koninkrijksniveau tot voor 10-10-‘10 een relatief slapend bestaan geleid. Ik heb in ieder geval niet het spektakel kunnen voorzien zoals we dat vanaf 10-10-’10 hebben mogen aanschouwen.

Tijdschrift voor Surinaamse taalkunde, letterkunde en geschiedenis. Jaargang 29 6 Hans Ramsoedh & Peter Sanches 75 jaar Wij slaven van Suriname; De turbulente biografie van een boek Inleiding De publicatie in 1934 van Anton de Koms Wij slaven van Suriname markeert een cesuur in de geschiedschrijving over Suriname. Het was de eerste keer dat de Surinaamse geschiedenis werd geschreven vanuit het antikoloniale, radicale gezichtspunt van de onderdrukten. Met dit boek wilde De Kom de Surinamer zijn trots teruggeven. Zwart zelfbewustzijn, zelfrespect, organisatie en proletarische eenheid zijn kernbegrippen in Wij slaven van Suriname - dat we kunnen typeren als een mengeling van een historische studie, egodocument en politiek manifest. De Kom richtte zich niet alleen tegen de economische en politieke aspecten van het kolonialisme, maar vooral ook tegen de psychologische dimensie ervan: Geen volk kan tot volle wasdom komen dat erfelijk met een minderwaardigheidsgevoel belast blijft. Daarom wil dit boek trachten het zelfrespect der Surinamers op te wekken (De Kom 1972: 50). De betekenis van Wij slaven van Suriname ligt in een uitvoerige beschrijving van de Surinaamse geschiedenis, gezien door de ogen van een revolutionair, die haar gebruikt om aan te tonen dat de slavernij, hoewel in 1863 officieel afgeschaft, tot het begin van de jaren dertig van de twintigste eeuw nog niet voorbij was.
