Introduction The Dutch East Indies were by far the most important Dutch colony. It was also the only colony where a purposeful policy towards Islam was developed and this aspect of Dutch colonial policy in particular attracted attention from other imperial powers. In 1939 the French scholar Georges Henri Bousquet began his A French View of the Netherlands Indies by recalling that: “No other colonial nation governs relatively so many Moslem subjects as do the Netherlands”.

  • Slave Trading and Slavery in the Dutch Colonial Empire: a Global Comparison
    rik Van WELie Slave Trading and Slavery in the Dutch Colonial Empire: A Global Comparison INTRODUCTION From the early seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century, slavery played a fundamental role in the Dutch colonial empire.1 All overseas possessions of the Dutch depended in varying degrees on the labor of slaves who were imported from diverse and often remote areas. Over the past decades numer- ous academic publications have shed light on the history of the Dutch Atlantic slave trade and of slavery in the Dutch Americas.2 These scholarly contribu- tions, in combination with the social and political activism of the descen- dants of Caribbean slaves, have helped to bring the subject of slavery into the national public debate. The ongoing discussions about an official apology for the Dutch role in slavery, the erection of monuments to commemorate that history, and the inclusion of some of these topics in the first national history canon are all testimony to this increased attention for a troubled past.3 To some this recent focus on the negative aspects of Dutch colonial history has already gone too far, as they summon the country’s glorious past to instill a 1. I would like to thank David Eltis, Pieter Emmer, Henk den Heijer, Han Jordaan, Gerrit Knaap, Gert Oostindie, Alex van Stipriaan, Jelmer Vos, and the anonymous reviewers of the New West Indian Guide for their many insightful comments. As usual, the author remains entirely responsible for any errors.

  • Paramaribo As Dutch and Atlantic Nodal Point, 1650–1795
    Paramaribo as Dutch and Atlantic Nodal Point, 1650–1795 Karwan Fatah-Black Introduction The Sociëteit van Suriname (Suriname Company, 1683–1795) aimed to turn Suriname into a plantation colony to produce tropical products for Dutch mer- chants, and simultaneously provide a market for finished products and stimu- late the shipping industry.1 To maximize profits for the Republic the charter of the colony banned merchants from outside the Republic from connecting to the colony’s markets. The strict mercantilist vision of the Dutch on how the tropical plantation colony should benefit the metropolis failed to materialize, and many non-Dutch traders serviced the colony’s markets.2 The significant breaches in the mercantilist plans of the Dutch signify the limits of metropoli- tan control over the colonial project. This chapter takes ship movements to and from Paramaribo as a very basic indication for breaches in the mercantilist plans of the Dutch: the more non- Dutch ships serviced Suriname relative to the number of Dutch ships, the less successful the Suriname Company was in realizing its “walled garden” concept of the colony. While Suriname had three European villages (Torarica, Jodensavanne and Paramaribo) in the seventeenth century, Paramaribo became its sole urban core in the eighteenth century. This centralization and * The research done for this chapter was first presented in a paper at the European Social Science and History Conference 2010 in Ghent and figures prominently in the PhD disserta- tion Suriname and the Atlantic World, 1650–1800 defended on 1 October 2013 at Leiden University. 1 Octroy ofte fondamentele conditien, onder de welcke haer Hoogh.

  • The Coppename Kwinti: Notes on an Afro-American Tribe in Surinam
    DIRK H. VAN DER ELST THE COPPENAME KWINTI: NOTES ON AN AFRO-AMERICAN TRIBE IN SURINAM I History and Development Kwinti origins and settlement—Population size—Language, isolation and obscurity. II Organization and Ideology Foreign affairs — Internal affairs — Clan and lineage — Marital relations — Christianity — Native polytheism III Culture Change and Viability Population and culture — Village economy — Ecology and acculturation — Adaptations — Factors in future viability References The ethnographic data for this report were collected during a ten-weeks' pilot study which my wife Kathleen and I conducted among the Bitagron Kwinti in the summer of 1973. This research was supported by National Science Founda- tion grant No. GS-38142, and by a Faculty Research grant from CSUF. — Address of author: California State University, Fresno. Ir. F.C. Bubberman, The Director of 's Lands Bosbeheer (Surinam's Forestry Service), has been of inestimable importance to my understanding of Kwinti culture. Not only did he physically introduce us to the people of Bitagron, but he freely and enthusiastically shared the fruits of his personal research into the history of Bush Negro migration and settlements. I am indebted to Ir. Bubberman and Drs. P.A. Teunissen, the goverment biologist at Raleigh Falls at the time of our research, for their information about Bush Negro ecology. I. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT The Kwinti constitute the smallest and least known of the recog- nized Bush Negro societies, although their territory is theoreti- cally subject to the authority of the Matuari paramount chief. The Coppename River branch of the Kwinti achieved the furthest western penetration by an independent Bush Negro tribe.

  • INDIAN ARUBA in the HISTORICAL AGE Luc Aio F S
    TH(1636-1795E PEASANT) AMP THE REBEL: INDIAN ARUBA IN THE HISTORICAL AGE Luc Aio f s Abstract The Aruban population is proud of its Amerindian cultural legacy, which acts as a 'reinvented tradition' in Aruba's national identity. In this paper, I analyse the myth and facts of this Indian heritage in the colonial age (1636-1795). On one hand, Aruba was a place of refuge to Indian settlers on the almost but forgotten island. Aruba was a safe haven or a reserve to some of the last surviving Indian populations in the Caribbean archipel­ ago. On the other hand, during the 17"1 and 18™ century, Christianization took place and the formation of a unique Caribbean peasant type -'the cunucero'- occurred. The increasing presence and pressure by the Dutch administration resulted in protest and rebellion from the side of the Aruban Indians. During the 19^ century, the Amerindian population assimilated into the colonial society. Résumé La population d'Aruba estfière de son patrimoine culturel amérindien qui figure comme une 'tradition réinven­ tée' dans l'identité nationale d'Aruba. Ici je sépare le mythe des faits dans cet héritage de l'époque coloniale (1636-1795). D'une part Aruba était un refuge pour les Indiens qui voulaient s'établir dans l'île quasi oubliée à cette époque. Aruba a servi d'abri ou de refuge pour quelques-unes des dernières populations amérindiennes qui ont survécu dans l'archipel caraïbe. D'autre part, pendant le 17e et le 18e siècle la christianisation a pris pied et on a vu apparaître un type unique de paysan caraïbe nommé 'cunucero'.

  • Social Research on Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles
    H. C. VAN RENSELAAR & J. D. SPECKMANN SOCIAL RESEARCH ON SURINAM AND THE NETHERLANDS ANTILLES In March 1964 the Advisory Council for Cultural Cooperation between the Countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands recommended to the three Governments that they devote particular attention to the study of the process of acculturation in Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles. The Netherlands Minister of Education and Sciences thereupon requested the Social Science Council of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences to elaborate this suggestion. The latter Council recorded its views in a memorandum (10 June, 1965), in which it is argued that the problems of accul- turation will become all the more urgent now the rate of the processes of change increases, among other things as a result of the social and economic development policy of the Government. The Council was of the opinion that intensification of research in this field is particularly desirable. The studies that have been performed in the last fifteen years give an essential and solid foundation for further research. The Council advised that acculturation research be continued on the basis of a research program drawn up by a small committee of experts. At the request of the Minister the Board of WOTRO instituted this committee, after consultation with the Social Science Council. On 10 January, 1966, it met for the first time in the following composition: Professor Dr. R. A. J. VAN LIER (chairman), Pro- fessor Dr. H. HOETINK, Professor Dr. A. J. F. KÖBBEN, Drs. H. C.
