Through all these stages I have been supported by my parents, from the initial stage on they supported me through all the challenges, I am thankful for the options I have been granted. I am grateful for all the respondents in the field who were willing to give their personal insights and stories. Without their enthusiasm and their great kindness and honesty it would not have been possible to present this Thesis. From this place I would also like to thank Kees Koonings, my supervisor who has during these three stages always given me great input from the finest detail to the bigger picture, among others he presented me the ‘channels and dams’ which contributed to the end result of this Thesis.

Bittersweet: Sugar, Slavery, and Science in Dutch Suriname
BITTERSWEET: SUGAR, SLAVERY, AND SCIENCE IN DUTCH SURINAME Elizabeth Sutton Pictures of sugar production in the Dutch colony of Suriname are well suited to shed light on the role images played in the parallel rise of empirical science, industrial technology, and modern capitalism. The accumulation of goods paralleled a desire to accumulate knowledge and to catalogue, organize, and visualize the world. This included possessing knowledge in imagery, as well as human and natural resources. This essay argues that representations of sugar production in eighteenth-century paintings and prints emphasized the potential for production and the systematization of mechanized production by picturing mills and labor as capital. DOI: 10.18277/makf.2015.13 ictures of sugar production in the Dutch colony of Suriname are well suited to shed light on the role images played in the parallel rise of empirical science, industrial technology, and modern capitalism.1 Images were important to legitimating and privileging these domains in Western society. The efficiency considered neces- Psary for maximal profit necessitated close attention to the science of agriculture and the processing of raw materials, in addition to the exploitation of labor. The accumulation of goods paralleled a desire to accumulate knowledge and to catalogue, organize, and visualize the world. Scientific rationalism and positivism corresponded with mercantile imperatives to create an epistemology that privileged knowledge about the natural world in order to control its resources. Prints of sugar production from the seventeenth century provided a prototype of representation that emphasized botanical description and practical diagrams of necessary apparatuses. This focus on the means of production was continued and condensed into representations of productive capacity and mechanical efficiency in later eighteenth-century images. -

Inleiding. 2. De immigratie. 3. De binnenlandse migratie. 4. De urbanisatie. 5. De geografische mobiliteit bezien in het kader van de ontwikkeling van Suriname. 1. Inleiding. I n het navolgende zal worden getracht een inzicht te geven in de geografische mobiliteit van de bevolking van Suriname. Daar vele groepen van deze bevolking nog maar sinds enkele generaties in het land wonen en een deel van de geografische mobiliteit hierdoor bepaaild wordt, zal eerst een overzicht worden gegeven van de diverse immigratiegolven waaruit de veelkleurige bevolking van Suriname is ontstaan. Daarna zal aan de hand van een aaratal cijfers van de volks- telling 1950 een indruk worden gegeven van de geografische mobiliteit binnen Suriname van de in dat jaar getelde bevolking. Vervolgens zal worden ingegaan op het spectaculaire verschijnsel van de urbanisatie en de problemen welke zich bij de ontwikkeling van Suriname voor- doen als gevolg van de grote geografische mobiliteit van de Surinaamse bevolking. 2. De immigratie. Wanneer men in het rapport van de Volkstelling 1950 leest dat de Surinaamse bevolking (TAV deel X, biz. 6) voor 46 % uit Black- coloured (in Suriname beter 'bekend als Creolen),, voor 31,2 fo uit Hindoestanen, 17,6 % uit Indonesiers, voor 1,2 % uit Chinezen, 1,3 % uit Europeanen, 1,7 % uit Indianen en 1 % uit overige landaarden (rassen) bestaat, dan mag men hieruit de conclusie trekken dat tot voor korte tijd grote bevolkingsgroepen uit verschillende delen van de wereld Suriname zijn binnengekomen. -
