  • Maroons and the Communications Revolution in Suriname's Interior
    CHAPTER 7 Maroons and the Communications Revolution in Suriname’s Interior Alex van Stipriaan 1 Introduction From the first until the last day of slavery, enslaved people liberated them- selves by escaping from the plantation colony and setting up new, indepen- dent communities. These escapees, who came to be called Maroons, settled in the tropical rain forest of Suriname’s interior, far away from the seat of colonial power in Paramaribo. Yet they stayed tied to the colonial economy in several ways. The general impression people have is that Maroons lived in total isola- tion in Suriname’s interior until quite recently, about one or two generations ago, but this must now be largely discounted as a myth. This is certainly true in the case of Maroon men.1 Women, on the other hand, remained comparatively isolated until quite recently as gender-based labour division and traditional notions of womanhood mostly linked women to the domestic sphere and the village context. This chapter examines the extent to which contact with the outside world formed part of the Maroons’ existence, and how contact has influenced Maroon lifestyles throughout history.2 Crucially, I explore how Maroons’ adoption of new communication technologies is impacting patterns of com- munication with the wider world and among the Maroons themselves. This contribution does not simply deal with how objects are being adopted by sub- jects, rather it focuses on what happens to people and their context when they use new technologies and also how new technologies are transformed due to their use in specific social contexts.

  • Researchnote a Harvard Physician's Reports on an 1857 Visit to The
    New West Indian Guide 93 (2019) 259–278 nwig brill.com/nwig Research Note ∵ A Harvard Physician’s Reports on an 1857 Visit to the Saamaka Richard Price Coquina Key, Florida [email protected] Christopher D.E. Willoughby Penn State University, University Park, Pennsylvania [email protected] Abstract In 1857, Harvard professor and anatomist Jeffries Wyman traveled to Suriname to col- lect specimens for his museum at Harvard (later the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, founded in 1866 and curated by Wyman). Though his main interest con- cerned amphibians, he had a secondary interest in ethnology and, apparently, a desire to demonstrate current theories of racial “degeneration” among the African-descended population, particularly the “Bush Negroes.” This research note presents a letter he wrote his sister from Suriname, excerpts from his field diary, and sketches he made while visiting the Saamaka and Saa Kiiki Ndyuka. Wyman’s brief account of his visit suggests that Saamakas’ attitudes toward outside visitors (whether scientists, mission- aries, or government officials) remained remarkable stable, from the time of the 1762 peace treaty until the Suriname civil war of the 1980s. © richard price and christopher d.e. willoughby, 2019 | doi:10.1163/22134360-09303001 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the CC-BY-NCDownloaded4.0 License. from Brill.com10/05/2021 06:07:42AM via free access 260 research note Keywords Saamaka – Suriname – Maroons – history of medicine In late 2018, CW wrote to RP to tell him of a book he was writing on the his- tory of racial science and slavery in U.S.

  • Suriname 2019 Crime and Safety Report
    Suriname 2019 Crime and Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Paramaribo. The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Suriname at Level 1, indicating travelers should exercise normal precautions. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Embassy in Paramaribo does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The American Citizens’ Services unit (ACS) cannot recommend a particular individual or location, and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. Review OSAC’s Suriname-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Crime Threats There is considerable risk from crime in Paramaribo. Government statistics indicate a modest increase in personal and property crime in 2018, following an overall reduction in 2017 and elevated rates in 2016. Street crimes, including theft of backpacks, purses, jewelry (particularly necklaces), and cell phones are regular occurrences. Reports indicate criminals often use weapons against victims in the commission of street crimes, particularly when victims resist. Perpetrators often escape by moped or motorbike, and evade police capture. Armed robbers targeted several expatriates walking in close proximity to popular hotels and near Combe Market. No areas of Paramaribo are completely safe. Criminals move without restriction into and out of neighborhoods where expatriates live, often using scooters or motorcycles to evade police. In one reported case in 2018, a burglar tied up a guard in an affluent neighborhood, while in another instance two burglars violently assaulted and robbed a guard attempting to deny gate access.
