A long journey, starting with the internship at the Federal University of Brasilia (UNB) together with my roommate Saïf Alimoestar, under supervision of Dr. Rudi H. van Els, in April 2017. Being in Brazil for study, while my son was born in Suriname. A journey that seemed not to be ended, but finally I got through it. Gratitude to my wife Nowemy and my children Jenaya, Sue-Ann and Izar for all the time I was out of home for study. I also thank my parents for their contribution to my career. A special thanks to Dr. van Els, who put his beliefs and efforts in guiding me through this journey. This work is carried out to give back to the community at the Upper Suriname River, where I grew up at the village Dangogo. The experience I got during my primary school at Djoemoe, the long- distance walk through the jungle to attend school and to study without electricity in the interior have inspired me to focus on a sustainable electricity supply of the villages with renewable energy. This work does not claim to solve the problem of limited electricity supply in the villages in Suriname, but it is a guide to sustainable electricity supply to the villages to improve the living condition in the villages and to promote economic development. This work is dedicated to my grandmother, Akindoina Aboikoni, who took care of me during my primary school period and still believe in my successes; “Gaantangi Fii mi Avó”4 (thank you, grandma).

The main objective of this work is to elaborate on a methodology to support the technical and economic feasibility and sustainability of Pico hydropower plants in the Surinamese interior. The elaborated methodology has four parts, viz. literature review, the adoption of the “decision support system (DSS) for Micro hydropower plants”, field orientation and measurements, assessment of the rainfall and discharge data using the transferability method and the design of a Pico hydropower plant up-scaled to a Micro hydropower plant. The transferability method is used to transfer the discharge and to draw the Flow Duration Curve for the Tapawatra catchment area, with a mean discharge of 66.20 m3/s and hydropower potential of 1,363 kW available for 38% a year. The designed Pico hydropower plant has an output of 210 W. The up-scaled Micro hydropower plant has an output of 11 kW, available for 12 months a year and can supply a nearby tourism resort for electricity and for community purposes such as charging station for mobile phones. The Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for the Pico hydropower plant is 5.60 USD/kWh and 0.67 USD/kWh for the up-scaled Micro hydropower plant. Compared with LCOE values from similar renewable energy projects in the South-American region, especially the Brazilian Amazon area, and recent studies for the Upper Suriname River it can be concluded that the up-scaled Micro hydropower for Tapawatra is financially viable and has also a lower LCOE value than the current power generation in the nearby villages with diesel generators, 0.86 USD/kWh.

Dat bracht Kalff ertoe in 1923 te schrijven dat in Suriname de slavenzweep de muze op de vlucht joeg (Kalff, 1923: 370). Maar hij reserveerde de muze alleen voor de schone kunsten, meer in het bijzonder voor mooie schilderijen. Het onderscheid van Kalff tussen esthetische en praktische afbeeldingen is echter niet zo eenvoudig te trekken. In dit artikel zou ik de muze daarom een ruimer terrein willen toebedelen en nagaan welke vormen ze aanneemt als het om verbeelding van slaven gaat en wat haar daarbij bezielt.

  • P. Hulme Making Sense of the Native Caribbean Critique of Recent Attempts to Make Sense of the History and Anthropology of the Native Caribbean
    P. Hulme Making sense of the native Caribbean Critique of recent attempts to make sense of the history and anthropology of the native Caribbean. These works are based on the writings of Columbus and his companions and assume that there were 2 tribes: the Arawaks and Caribs. Author argues however that much work is needed to untangle the complex imbrication of native Caribbean and European colonial history. In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 67 (1993), no: 3/4, Leiden, 189-220 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl PETER HULME MAKING SENSE OF THE NATIVE CARIBBEAN The quincentenary of the discovery by Caribbean islanders of a Genoese sailor in the service of Spain who thought he was off the coast of China has served to refocus attention on a part of the world whose native history has been little studied. Christopher Columbus eventually made some sense of the Caribbean, at least to his own satisfaction: one of his most lasting, if least recognized, achievements was to divide the native population of the Carib- bean into two quite separate peoples, a division that has marked percep- tions of the area now for five hundred years. This essay focuses on some recent attempts to make sense of the history and anthropology of the native Caribbean, and argues that much work is yet needed to untangle their com- plex imbrication with European colonial history.1 THE NOVEL An outline of the pre-Columbian history of the Caribbean occupies the first chapter of James Michener's block-busting 672-page historical novel, Caribbean, published in 1989, a useful source of popular conceptions about the native populations of the area.
