"Anton de Kom was an iconic fighter against colonialism. Less well known are the Surinamese before and after him who, through actions, novels, essays, visual art, political movements, films, and other media, have made a chorus of anti-colonial voices heard. This book brings them together." -- Alexander van Stipriaan Luiscius, Erasmus University Rotterdam "This edited volume provides a comprehensive and historically informed overview of Surinamese anti-colonial thought. It brings together political, cultural, and intellectual figures from Suriname and its diaspora, making an important contribution to Caribbean and anti-colonial studies." -- Carolina Guzman, Universidad de Tarapacá, Chile & Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain "This important introduction to Surinamese anticolonial thought brings together a variety of critical voices from Suriname and the Surinamese diaspora. It uncovers fresh perspectives on the dynamics, diversity, and complexity of the history of the country's anticolonial thought. Moving past nationalism, the volume highlights the decolonial and transnational imaginings of intellectuals who challenged the socioeconomic, cultural, and political inequities of the Dutch colonial order.

" -- Rosemarijn Hofte, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands "This book is a necessary addition to the literature of Caribbean and global anticolonial thought. Wonderfully edited, it illuminates the complex currents of Surinamese thought. A needed addition to the radical Caribbean intellectual tradition." -- Anthony Bogues, Brown University, USA.
