| Summary | "Geschiedenis van Suriname" by J. Wolbers is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book details the history of Suriname, focusing on the social, economic, and political developments in the colony over time. It seeks to evoke interest in the complexities surrounding its diverse population, which includes white, colored, and black communities. At the start of the work, the author explains his journey to compile a comprehensive history of Suriname, acknowledging the challenges he faced in gathering sources and organizing the material. He reflects on the gaps in existing literature regarding the colony, particularly the lack of detailed accounts beyond certain historical milestones. Through diligent research, including both archival sources and contributions from various informed individuals, he aims to provide a nuanced understanding of Suriname's past, relating the plight of its slave population and other inhabitants while highlighting the broader implications of colonialism. This opening sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the intricacies and struggles of Suriname's history, resonating with the reader's sense of curiosity about this significant yet often overlooked part of Dutch colonial heritage.
