We Slaves of Suriname is a literary masterpiece and an important historical account. The book, written in Dutch, describes Surinamese history from an anti-colonial perspective, written by Anton de Kom, a descendant of enslaved people. He highlights the consequences of Dutch colonial rule, the oppression of the country and its inhabitants, and the uprisings of various Surinamese population groups.
The work not only sketches the horrors of colonialism, but also courage, self-respect, and the struggle for freedom. This edition contains new introductions by Mitchell Esajas, Tessa Leuwsha, and Duco van Oostrum.
160 years after the abolition of slavery and nearly 90 years after the first publication, the message remains powerful and relevant. Anton de Kom has been included in the Dutch historical canon since 2020.
