Bringing together the lives of anticolonial thinkers, activists, artists and writers from Suriname, this collection shines a light on the resilience, struggles and triumphs of ‘local’ resistance to colonialism and their fight for independence. Offering new insights on anti-colonialism in Suriname, this book fills a gap in the English-language historiography on anti-colonial thought and struggles for independence. Including perspectives from within the country and also its diaspora, it shows the diversity that existed within the anticolonial movement and explores the ways in which their differing approaches, philosophies and actions came together. Placing Surinamese anti-colonialism within broader historical and regional contexts, A History of Surinamese Anticolonial Thought also compares and contrasts this nation’s struggle with other anticolonial movements to understand its relevance on a global scale.Offering a timely exploration of Suriname’s rich anti-colonial legacy both within and beyond its own shores, this book untangles the complex dynamics of colonial resistance and identifies the lasting effects of colonialism.

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.
