Formerly known as Dutch Guiana, Suriname is the smallest country in South America and has a population of approximately 600,000 people. Suriname is a diverse country with a mixture of cultures including indigenous people, Creole, Maroons (descendants of African slaves), Hindustani (from the Indian subcontinent), and Javanese.

The country is also known for its natural attractions such as the Amazon Rainforest, the Brownsberg Nature Park, and the Kaieteur Falls.
Download or read book Christianity in Suriname written by Franklin Steven Jabini and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-14 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of Suriname, located in northern South America has a rich and diverse history going back several centuries. This has seen the introduction of Christianity and the establishment and creation of many church denominations. To date, major theological works have failed to provide correct, balanced and informative dialogue on the history of Christianity and its developments in Suriname. In response to the lack of information available to the academic world this publication aims to provide a survey of the history, a summary of the works of theologians and a guide to reliable sources about Christianity in Suriname. Through overviewing the history of the major denominations in Suriname and focusing on some major issues surrounding Christianity the author delivers a unique single volume for both the general reader and a starting point for further research.
Download or read book Surinamese Music in the Netherlands and Suriname written by Marcel Weltak and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions by Herman Dijo, J. Ketwaru, Guilly Koster, Lou Lichtveld, Pondo O’Bryan, and Marcel Weltak When Marcel Weltak’s Surinamese Music in the Netherlands and Suriname was published in Dutch in 1990, it was the first book to provide an overview of the music styles originating from the land that had recently gained its independence from the Netherlands. Up until the 1990s, little had been published that observed the music of the country. Weltak’s book was the first to examine both the instruments and the way in which they are played as well as the melodic and rhythmic components of music produced by the country’s ethnically diverse populations, including people of Amerindian, African, Indian, Indonesian/Javanese, and Chinese descent. Since the book’s first appearance, a new generation of musicians of Surinamese descent has carried on making music, and some of their elders referred to in the original edition have passed away. The catalog of recordings that have become available has also expanded, particularly in the areas of hip-hop, rap, jazz, R&B, and new fusions such as kaskawi. This edition, in English for the first time, includes a new opening chapter by Marcel Weltak giving a historical sketch of Suriname’s relationship to the Netherlands. It includes updates on the popular music of second- and third-generation musicians of Surinamese descent in the Netherlands, and Weltak's own subsequent and vital research into the Amerindian and maroon music of the interior. The new introduction is followed by the integral text of the original edition. New appendices have been added to this edition that include a bibliography and updated discography; a listing of films, videos, and DVDs on or about Surinamese music or musicians; and concise, alphabetically arranged notes on musical instruments and styles as well as brief biographies of those authors who contributed texts.
Download or read book Twentieth Century Suriname written by Rosemarijn Höfte and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-07-04 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suriname is a fascinating yet also little known Caribbean country. Fascinating because a unique variety of lifestyles and group identities has characterized this country from its early beginnings as a European plantation colony, but even more so since the influx of contract laborers from British India and Java in the nineteenth century. Little known because even when attention was focused on the country, particularly following a military coup d'état in 1980, this awareness has contributed little to a better understanding of the country's complex developments. In fact, the media have not unveiled but rather covered the essentials of the evolving Suriname society. Combining a broad thematic approach with a focus on long-term developments in Suriname, 20th Century Suriname consists of fourteen chapters that discuss the main trends with respect to major areas of research. Topics such as Surinamese politics and economics, as well as its social, religious, and cultural aspects are covered by the best contemporary specialists on Suriname in the United States, the Netherlands, and Suriname. This volume provides an accessible introduction to Suriname for a general audience, including graduate and undergraduate students, and an authoritative 'state of the art review' for Suriname specialists.

Download or read book Suriname Discovered written by Toon Fey and published by Xpat Scriptum Publishers. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surinam Discovered brings us a huge variety in sights and colors, found in few other countries. This is remarkable as Surinam, compared to most other Latin American countries, is quite modest in size, not to mention population: 500,000 inhabitants. The question therefore arises: to what does Surinam owe this overwhelming wealth and diversity? Largely, this is thanks to the physical properties of the country; more than 80% of it is unspoiled nature, specifically tropical rainforest. The wealth and pureness of the Surinam inland - much of which has been declared a nature reserve - is, compared to other tropical countries, spectacular.

Download or read book Chinese New Migrants in Suriname written by Paul B. Tjon Sie Fat and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers various aspects of New Chinese Migration in Suriname in the 1990s and early 2000s. It is an ethnography of New Chinese Migrants in the context of South- South migration, but also a first ethnography of Chinese in Suriname, as well as an analysis of Surinamese ethnic discourse and ethnopolitics. Starting in the 1990s, renewed immigration from China changed the dynamics of the Surinamese Chinese community, which developed from a Hakka enclave to a culturally and linguistically diverse, modern Chinese migrant group. Local positioning strategies of Chinese had always depended on ethnic entrepreneurship and political participation, but were now complicated by anti-immigrant sentiments.
