"We, Slaves of Suriname" by Anton De Kom is a book that is an indictment on racism and colonization at its best. In the book, the author, a Surinamese resistance hero narrates the history of their land from the very beginning, where Europeans were hunting for gold, to the eras of slave trade and Dutch colonialism, which still had traces despite the formal abolishment of slavery. Even after 150 years of abolition, this book continues to inspire and capture readers with its powerful prose and deep insights into the history of our surrounding land.

Описание книги от Anton de Kom
Anton de Kom’s We Slaves of Suriname is a literary masterpiece as well as a fierce indictment of racism and colonialism. In this classic book, published here in English for the first time, the Surinamese writer and resistance leader recounts the history of his homeland, from the first settlements by Europeans in search of gold through the era of the slave trade and the period of Dutch colonial rule, when the old slave mentality persisted, long after slavery had been formally abolished. 159 years after the abolition of slavery in Suriname and 88 years after its initial publication, We Slaves of Suriname has lost none of its brilliance and power.
