Abstract:

AbstractIn this contribution, long time missionary to Suriname, Joop Vemooij, presents an overview of Winti, a religion rooted in the complex culture of Surinam. After presenting a short history of the religion, Vernooij outlines some of its principal elements, and then presents a pastoral reflection on how Christians need to deal with practitioners of this religion in Surinam itself, and in the Netherlands, where some 300,000 Surinamese live today.

Abstract:

Wij slaven van Suriname (We slaves of Suriname) by Anton de Kom (1898-1945) stands out as one of the classics of Surinamese historiography and one of the most debated books among contemporary scholars involved in Surinamese studies. In this article I argue that Wij slaven van Suriname marks a new stage in Surinamese history writing and a novel way of dealing with the Surinamese past. To determine the characteristics of the book and its contribution to Caribbean historiography I juxtapose Wij slaven van Suriname with two other groundbreaking works in Caribbean political thought: Capitalism and Slavery by Eric Williams (1911-81) and The Black Jacobins by C.L.R. James (1901-89). The three works display many similarities, but also important differences. In my opinion De Kom’s hitherto surprisingly weak Caribbean profile is not justified given that his work represents the formative phase of Surinamese decolonization. It therefore deserves a prominent place in twentieth-century Caribbean history writing.

Abstract:

Argues that all American nations except Suriname now provide legal protection for its indigenous/Maroon populations. Demonstrates that successive Suriname governments have been pursuing an increasingly militant and destructive policy against both Maroons and indigenous communities. Calls for rapid legislation, to bring Suriname's constitution and legal code in line with the various human rights and ecological treaties to which the country is party. Also reviews recent work on remnants of quilombos in Brazil, which often uses research on Caribbean Maroon communities as implicit or explicit models.

Abstract:

Suriname’s pre-modern economy was entirely dependent on water transport. While shipbuilding in the colony itself was not encouraged by the directors of the Suriname Company (1683–1795) in Amsterdam there was a need to support the colony’s transoceanic, regional and local transport. This article finds that Suriname certainly had an infrastructure for shipbuilding and repair, but its existence has been neglected in the historiography. Since there is no literature on shipbuilding in colonial Suriname this article explores a wide variety of primary sources to piece together the various types of shipbuilding and repair conducted in the colony. We have found that there was a modest-sized barge wharf, as well as the production of small vessels on the plantations, and among the maroons and indigenous people in the interior. The colony furthermore procured ships on an ad hoc basis from the regional North American shipping connections with Suriname.

Abstract:

This article investigates the post-indenture choice of Hindustani indentured labour migrants in Suriname either to settle in Suriname or repatriate to India between 1873 and 1940. Based on extensive demographic statistical analyses and the autobiography of Rahman Mohammed Khan, this research concludes that familial relations, especially those formed in Suriname, had a strong effect on the relative share of Hindustanis settling themselves in Suriname after their contract period. Additionally, this study convincingly proves that the Surinamese context had an important effect on the development of the individual life courses of Hindustanis.

Abstract:

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini membahas tentang hibriditas budaya masyarakat Suriname Jawa yang tercermin dari fenomena kegiatan kesenian yang dilakukan salah satunya adalah tradisi memainkan gamelan Jawa yang masih dapat disaksikan disebagian kecil lingkungan sosial masyarakat Suriname keturunan Jawa. yang menarik, bentuk, proses penciptaan, aturan, dan cara memainkannya cukup berbeda dengan gamelan Jawa di tanah leluhurnya, Jawa. Perbedaan ini tidak lepas dari sejarah awal migrasi orang Jawa ke Suriname yang pertama kali tiba pada tanggal 9 Agustus 1890, dimana sebagian besar pendatang adalah orang Jawa dalam sistem pendidikan kolonial Hindia Belanda. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi wawancara dan dokumentasi dengan cara datang ke negara Suriname untuk bertemu langsung dengan narasumber, serta analisis data melalui reduksi, penyajian data, verifikasi dan kesimpulan mengenai aspek hibriditas pada instrumen gamelan yang ada di Suriname dan Indonesia. Kata Kunci : Budaya Hibrid, Jawa Suriname, Gamelan ABSTRACT This study discusses the hybrid culture of Javanese Surinamese people which is reflected in the phenomenon of artistic activities carried out, one of which is the tradition of playing Javanese gamelan, which can still be witnessed in a small part of the social environment of the Javanese Surinamese descendants. What is interesting is that the form, the process of creation, the rules, and the way of playing are quite different from Javanese gamelan in their ancestral land, Java. This difference cannot be separated from the early history of Javanese migration to Suriname which first arrived on August 9, 1890, where most of the immigrants were Javanese in the Dutch East Indies colonial system. this research uses qualitative research with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation by coming to Suriname to meet directly with respondents, as well as data analysis through reduction, data presentation, verification, and conclusions regarding the hybridity aspect of a set of gamelan instruments in Suriname and Indonesia. Keywords : Hybridity Culture, Javanese Suriname, Gamelan

Abstract:

Abstract The American Museum of Natural History (amnh) has three mancala game boards in their collection that are connected with Suriname, formerly Dutch Guyana. One of these samples is exhibited in the amnh African Peoples Hall as part of a section on African Slavery and Diaspora. The games of Suriname were described by Melville J. Herskovits in an article dating to 1929, but the relation of these three boards with Herskovits has remained unclear. With the help of the Herskovits archives, the archival records of amnh and recent research on Surinamese Maroon communities, the history of these three boards is shown to be intimately linked with Herskovits’ broader intellectual project.

Abstract:

AbstractAnalysis of the work of the music historian, composer, editor and Moravian missionary administrator Christian Ignatius Latrobe (1756–1836) enables a better understanding of the role of music in colonial expansion in the first half of the nineteenth century. In London, Latrobe received and circulated accounts of the missions’ supposed success in training disciplined and ‘sweet’ choirs of Christian singers from among formerly ‘heathen’ ‘barbarians’, and these accounts were taken to demonstrate the scalability of the ‘civilisation’ project of European colonialism, which suited both antislavery campaigners and colonial state officials. Latrobe sent standardised Christian hymn books, in English and German but also translated into indigenous languages, to mission stations around the world, from Suriname to Jamaica to Labrador to Greenland to Siberia to South Africa. He also sent musical instruments to accompany the hymn-singing, favouring the organ both aesthetically and for its ability to function in different climates. He also circulated specific instructions for training organists, with firm recommendations for a simple accompaniment style and learning hymns by heart. At the different stations, the policy increasingly became to train local members of the congregation according to Latrobe’s advice, so that the instrument, the canon of tunes and the performance conventions were exported uniformly from Europe, embodied in the organ and the organist. Crucially, this uniform and standardised imposition of music—although always resisted and never fully achieved—required the remaking of the cultural landscapes on which they were to be imposed, including through the violent outlawing of existing musical practices and styles. As such, key periods in the history of large-scale musical colonisation can be better understood when framed in terms of the cultural production of scalability, following Anna Tsing, with empirical attention to the efforts involved in musical scale-building projects that make claims about music’s universal qualities and that seek to propagate a standardised, common music around the world.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Exploration in the Guyana-Suriname Basin has been a decades-long endeavor, including technical challenges and a lengthy history of drilling with no offshore success prior to the Liza discovery. The 1929 New Nickerie well was the first onshore well in Suriname, and was followed by 30 years of dry holes before the heavy-oil Tambaredjo field was discovered in the 1960s. In the 1990s, nearly 40 years after the Tambaredjo discovery, ExxonMobil utilized the 1970s-vintage, poor-to moderate-quality, 2D seismic and gravity data available to create a series of hand-drawn, level-of-maturity (LOM) source and environments-of-deposition (EOD) maps over the basin to move their exploration efforts forward. This work established the genetic fundamentals necessary for understanding the hydrocarbon system and led to negotiation for and capture of the Stabroek Block in 1999. The Liza-1 success in 2015 spurred extensive activity in the Basin by ExxonMobil and the Stabroek Block co-venturers, Hess Guyana Exploration Limited and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited (Austin et al. 2021). The collection of extensive state-of-the art seismic data has been leveraged to enable successful exploration of multiple play types across the Guyana-Suriname Basin. Further data collection, including over 2 km of conventional core and additional seismic data acquisition and processing, has enabled ExxonMobil to adopt interpretation techniques that are applied across the entire basin to characterize and understand the subsurface better. From initial hand-drawn maps to the use of advanced technology today, ExxonMobil's work in the Guyana-Suriname Basin has relied on integration of geologic and geophysical understanding as well as the ability to leverage new technology to continue a successful exploration program with 8 billion barrels discovered to date.

Abstract:

Abstract This study discusses the development and results of the Downhole Water Sink (DWS) pilot test in two wells of the Tambaredjo Field (Suriname). It includes the mechanical completion, design and execution of operating strategy, well performance and forecast, and reservoir simulation employing an oil-in-water emulsion formulation. The DWS process, well and reservoir information and properties are introduced. The problem of heavy oil production in oil-water contact (OWC) areas is explained. The results in terms of production data and its analysis, and issues encountered, are presented. A reservoir simulation model capable to handle transport of oil components in water phase is described and used to history-match the production performance. Then, conclusions are drawn from the information presented. Although the water sink is expected to work under stable displacement conditions, the results of the pilot test show that DWS could successfully reduce water coning at the prevalent unstable mobility ratio. It also promoted inverted coning of oil from the transition zone to the water leg completion. This was confirmed by direct measurements of oil content in the fluid produced from the water leg completion. The physical mechanism that allows such phenomenon is hypothesized to be the flow of oil droplets of size smaller than that of the typical pore throat. Such mechanism was numerically modeled and found to be consistent with the pressure and rate measurements at both wells. Early measurement and completion issues in the first well were overcome later on and in the second well. This paper presents the first results for DWS in a heavy oil reservoir with highly adverse mobility ratio. The results will serve as a guidance for implementation of DWS in heavy oil reservoirs overlying an oil-water contact.

Full text

Abstract:

We assess the non-contributory cash transfer systems in 17 Latin American and Caribbean countries to identify factors that keep them from reducing poverty and inequality. To perform this assessment, we analyze three dimensions of size (number of beneficiaries, size of transfer per beneficiary, and size of total budget) and three dimensions of targeting (coverage, leakage, and quality of demographic targeting). We identify 67 programs, which fall into three broad categories: conditional cash transfers, non-contributory pensions, and other transfers. We use an international poverty line of 6.85 dollars PPP per day (similar to the average national poverty line of upper middle-income countries) and adjust survey weights to correct for the fact that household survey data often underestimates the official number of transfer beneficiaries compared to administrative sources. We show that two key factors limit the effect of cash transfer programs on poverty and inequality: the small size of their transfers and their historic under-coverage of the population living in poverty. Transfers represent approximately 33% of the poverty gap. Additionally, only 55% of the population in poverty benefits from these programs. Forty-one percent of people living in households that receive at least one non-contributory transfer are above the poverty line. Children and Indigenous people are underrepresented, relative to their poverty rate, in the rosters of beneficiaries. Brazil, Suriname, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, and Uruguay consistently earn the highest scores across the assessment categories. Our policy recommendations include: (i) intensifying efforts to increase coverage among the poor, using modern poverty mapping techniques along with active, on-the-ground searches and (ii) recertifying eligibility for transfer programs more frequently by using highly interoperable administrative data and social registries. Both efforts are needed to create more efficient income protection systems that address both structural and transient poverty.

Afro-descendant Peoples’ Territories in Biodiversity Hotspots across Latin America and the Caribbean: Barriers to Inclusion in Conservation Policies. Rights and Resources Initiative, February 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.53892/ftmk5991.

Full text

Abstract:

Afro-descendant Peoples are an integral part of the history and the economic, political, and social processes of nation-building and development in Latin America and the Caribbean. In fact, national censuses estimate that 21 percent of the region’s total population—just over 134 million people—are Afro-descendants. Yet, despite significant legislative progress at the international and national levels recognizing cultural and ethnic diversity and the rights of Afro-descendant Peoples, social and economic conditions are still drastically unequal and there are large information and recognition gaps that affect their rights. This study seeks to raise awareness of the territorial presence of Afro-descendant Peoples in 16 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean*. The aim is to progressively identify the presence, titled and untitled lands, and territories of Afro-descendant Peoples and to advocate for the recognition of their collective tenure rights. Although Afro-descendant Peoples in the region have been fighting for a place in international climate and conservation debates, not having defined boundaries for their ancestral lands has been an obstacle to adequately establishing how important their territories are for protecting biodiversity and dealing with complex challenges such as ecosystem degradation, loss of food systems, and other environmental problems. *The 16 countries studied are: Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.

Abstract:

Los Pueblos Afrodescendientes son parte integrante de la historia y de los procesos económicos, políticos y sociales de construcción nacional y desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe. De hecho, los censos nacionales estiman que el 21% de la población total de la región—algo más de 134 millones de personas—son Afrodescendientes. Sin embargo, a pesar de los importantes avances legislativos a nivel internacional y nacional que reconocen la diversidad cultural y étnica y los derechos de los Pueblos Afrodescendientes, las condiciones sociales y económicas siguen siendo drásticamente desiguales y existen grandes brechas de información y reconocimiento que afectan a sus derechos. Este estudio busca dar a conocer la presencia territorial de los Pueblos Afrodescendientes en 16 países de América Latina y el Caribe.* El objetivo fue identificar progresivamente la presencia, tierras tituladas y no tituladas, y territorios de los Pueblos Afrodescendientes y abogar por el reconocimiento de sus derechos colectivos de tenencia. Aunque los Pueblos Afrodescendientes de la región han estado luchando por un lugar en los debates internacionales sobre el clima y la conservación, el hecho de no tener definidos los límites de sus tierras ancestrales ha sido un obstáculo para establecer adecuadamente la importancia de sus territorios para proteger la biodiversidad y hacer frente a retos complejos como la degradación de los ecosistemas, la pérdida de los sistemas alimentarios y otros problemas medioambientales. *Los 16 países estudiados son: Belice, Brasil, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú, Surinam y Venezuela.
