Surinamese Anticolonial Thought in the Twentieth Century offers a compelling introduction to the history of anticolonial resistance in Suriname and its diaspora. Covering the lives and ideas of seventeen influential Surinamese thinkers, this book explores how the histories, legacies, and afterlives of Dutch colonial rule were questioned, contested, and reimagined in the decades surrounding independence.Moving beyond a narrow focus on nationalism, the authors reveal a dynamic intellectual landscape shaped by multiple – sometimes competing – visions of decolonization. While these visions were rooted in specific Surinamese conditions, they were also shaped by exchanges and entanglements within the Caribbean, Western Hemisphere, and beyond. Combined, this gave rise to a distinctly Surinamese tradition that was also deeply embedded in global currents of anticolonialism.By bringing together both recognized and lesser-known Surinamese thinkers, this book provides the first collective study of Surinamese anticolonialism in the twentieth century. Compiled in light of the fiftieth anniversary of Surinamese independence, it offers new insights on critical perspectives that continue to resonate in the present moment.

From colonial times through to the present day, large numbers of Javanese have left their homes to settle in other parts of Indonesia or much further afield. Frequently this dispersion was forced, often with traumatic results. Today, Javanese communities are found as near to home as Kalimantan and as far away as Suriname and the Netherlands. Meanwhile, migrant workers from Java continue to seek short-term employment in places like Malaysia and Dubai.This volume traces the different ways in which Javanese migrants and migrant communities are connected in their host society and with Java as a real or imagined authoritative source of norms, values and loyalties. It underlines the importance of diaspora as a process in order to understand the evolving notions of a Javanese homeland across time and space. Even though Java as the point of departure links the different contributions, their focus is more on the process of migration and experiences in destination countries. They examine historical developments and geographical variations in the migrants' social and political positions, mechanisms of authority, and social relations with other migrants.The volume also examines how ethnicity, class, gender, religion and hierarchy have shaped and still inform the dynamics of diasporic communities.
