Texto completoResumen
The Surinamese Javanese diaspora includes distinct Surinamese Javanese communities living in Suriname and the Netherlands. Inspired by the success of diaspora policies launched by the Indian government recently the Indonesian and Surinamese governments have started to consider the introduction of similar initiatives. As a result the Surinamese Javanese diaspora has been confronted with requests to contribute more substantially to their homeland and contemplate “going back home.” This article argues that the Indonesian and Surinamese governments have no reason to set their expectations too high. Jakarta and Paramaribo are reluctant to take necessary legal action which negatively impacts the effectivity of their diaspora policy. Overall Surinamese Javanese in Suriname are unwilling to settle in Indonesia, whereas Surinamese Javanese in the Netherlands contemplating return to Suriname carefully weigh their chances. For most of them, family, friendship and community ties and concomitant socio-cultural, spiritual and religious motives override economic motives as pull factors.

Texto completoResumen
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.

Texto completoResumen
This essay tells a narrative of various contexts in the Afro-Surinamese diaspora that share a struggle around the meanings of Black. What happens to Black in the Afro-Surinamese transatlantic diaspora? Some of the questions addressed are, Which terms have African descendant people in Suriname and in the Netherlands used for themselves in different periods? What have Whites called African descendant people in Suriname and in the Netherlands in different periods? When does Black come to the fore? Who mobilizes the term and for what purposes? This exercise brings forward important features of the Afro-Surinamese “cultural archive”: the orderings of the world, specifically the terms of ethnic self-reference, that Afro-Surinamese forged historically. These terms also traveled to the Netherlands, where they met with clashing cultural-political terms and understandings in the dominantly White Dutch world.

Texto completoResumen
Focuses on the annual celebration at the 1st of July of the abolition of slavery in Suriname (1863). Author describes how Emancipation Day celebrations in Suriname have developed over time. He relates how in the earliest celebrations after 1863 Emancipation Day was used by the authorities, in collaboration with the Moravian Church, to discipline and control the formerly enslaved, and thus strengthen the colonial status quo. This was done by emphasizing the necessity of white guidance for the blacks' development, and by creating a "cult of gratitude" to God and the Dutch king. Around 1900 a developing consciousness among Afro-Surinamese, due to migrations to the US, began contesting the way of commemorating slavery and the abolition, including a wider sense of belonging to an African diaspora in the Americas. Since then a gradual process of partly secularization of the celebrations began. Further, the author outlines how the African diaspora- and black consciousness influences, often from the US, continued to transform the content and style of the celebrations, but also had a wider influence among Afro-Surinamers regarding their sense of pride and cultural identity, reflecting in the changed names for Afro-Surinamers. The July 1 celebrations increasingly became linked to African-Surinamese ethnicity, while it also became a folkloric, festive, and wider national event, until it became again more politically charged since the 1980s.

Texto completoResumen
This paper examines the influence of language contact and multilingualism on the encoding of transfer events in the heritage variety of Javanese spoken in Suriname. Alongside Javanese, this community also speaks Sranantongo and Dutch, of which Sranantongo had the longest contact history with Javanese. It is shown that this long period of contact had a structural influence on the expression of transfer events in Surinamese Javanese: Surinamese speakers use double object constructions and two-predicate constructions more frequently than homeland Javanese speakers, a change which we argue to be due to contact with Sranantongo. In addition, Surinamese Javanese speakers overgeneralize one of the two applicative suffixes found in transfer constructions, a phenomenon that results from simplification processes.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract The Saamaka, one of Suriname’s six Afro-descendant maroon groups, have lived in the rainforest since they escaped slavery in the colonial era, adapting Indigenous foods and materials to survive in a new environment. In 1762 the Dutch signed a treaty that recognized Saamaka freedom and autonomy one hundred years before the abolition of slavery. However, the Saamaka have struggled against persistent attempts at ecocide by the Dutch colonial government and then, since independence, by the Surinamese state. This article highlights the plight of tribal and Indigenous groups in Suriname, especially the Saamaka, who have protested against logging and mining by demanding rights to their lands. The article relies both on qualitative interviews with maroon and Indigenous groups as well as Surinamese literature, especially Anton de Kom and Cynthia McLeod, to understand the Saamaka’s own ecological awareness vis-à-vis their representation as forest peoples. The article critiques alphabetic literacy as limiting of Indigenous and maroons’ use of orality, which emphasizes collectivism. The interviews show the innovative techniques through which Indigenous and Black ecologies define the relationship of humans to their environment in the Guiana Shield. Indigenous and maroon cartographic and spatial practices are confirmed through interviews and storytelling.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract Political struggles over national belonging often involve ideas on what a ‘proper’ family looks like. This article connects this important insight from the field of family migration politics to the study of postcolonial citizenship. Rather than focusing on dominant (State) perspectives, we ask: how do citizens from formerly colonised territories themselves conceptualise ‘the family’ and ‘the nation’ in the former metropole? We do so in a historical exploration of the political claims that three different Surinamese–Dutch organisations made regarding family migration rights, in the wake of Suriname’s independence (1975). We find that the organisations collectively claimed the recognition of Suriname-specific family forms in Dutch migration policy, such as unmarried coupledom (konkubinaat) and temporary foster children (kweekjes). Thereby they put forward a vision of postcolonial citizenship which challenged dominant conceptions of nationhood in the Netherlands, assuming instead that formerly colonised subjects and their ‘difference’ inherently and inevitably belong to Dutch national history and identity. In this vision, they reframed the Dutch nation’s spatio-temporal boundaries (the colonial past did not end at independence and there are ongoing transnational ties), and cultural boundaries (‘Surinamese difference’ is a constitutive element of Dutch postcolonial citizenship). In view of contemporary calls for decolonisation of European societies and scholarship, these claims represent important and inspiring contributions to ongoing debates on citizenship in a postcolonial nation.

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.

Ainda largamente desconhecida do público mundial, a literatura do nosso vizinho Suriname é uma agradável surpresa, uma vez vencidos os percalços para ter acesso a ela. Uma das razões a que se pode atribuir o fato de a literatura surinamesa permanecer um bem-guardado segredo é sua produção ocorrer em uma língua de menor difusão, o neerlandês, mas a isso somam-se outras questões. Muito conhecida na ex-metrópole, circula pouco em traduções mundo afora. Este artigo tem como objetivo lançar luz sobre a possibilidade de que se possa estabelecer um diálogo entre os sistemas literários brasileiro e surinamês por meio da tradução para o português brasileiro de, entre outras obras, romances históricos surinameses, em especial os que têm a diáspora como tema. O Brasil e o Suriname compartilham uma história de migrações forçadas e relatos sobre essas migrações perpassa o sistema literário de ambos os países. presume-se que o leitor brasileiro possa se interessar pela representação desses temas que lhe são tão familiares e que se disponha a ler literatura surinamesa traduzida para o português brasileiro.

Aluku village of Kotika in Suriname serves as an example how political alignments sometimes influence the definition of ethnic identities and interethnic relations. The Alukus in French Guiana and their Surinamese Maroon neighbours the Ndjuka and Paramaka show evidence of increasingly growing apart, even though these tribes possess similar cultures. Political separation thus heightens cultural differences.

Abstract: This article studies a little-known Afro-Surinamese theatrical dance and song tradition known as the Du . While the Du has generally been studied as a uniquely Surinamese cultural expression, this article places the tradition in a broader Caribbean context and pays particular attention to parallels with the Jamaican Sets . Based on these parallels, it argues that the Du could be understood as a variant of a broader cultural Caribbean phenomenon. It also explores a possible shared cultural heritage with roots in Africa, most notably in the West African Dou masquerade and the Central African kikumbe ritual. However, it also shows evidence that the Du and Sets find parallels in Luso-African traditions and argues that their shared cultural heritage could also consist of syncretic traditions that, already on African soil, mixed indigenous elements with elements rooted in early-modern Iberian culture. Resumen: Este artículo estudia una tradición teatral afro-surinamesa de danza y canción poco conocida: el Du . Aunque el Du se ha sido generalmente estudiado como una expresión cultural exclusivamente surinamesa, este artículo sitúa la tradición teatral en un contexto caribeño más amplio y presta especial atención a los paralelismos con los Sets jamaicanos. Basándose en estos paralelismos, sostiene que el Du puede entenderse como una variante de un fenómeno cultural caribeño más amplio. También explora una posible herencia cultural compartida con raíces en África, a saber, la mascarada Dou de África Occidental y el ritual kikumbe de África Central. Sin embargo, también muestra que el Du y Sets encuentran paralelismos en tradiciones luso-africanas y argumenta que su legado cultural compartido también podría consistir en tradiciones sincréticas que, ya en suelo africano, mezclaron elementos autóctonos con elementos arraigados en la cultura ibérica de la Edad Moderna. Resumé: Cet article étudie une tradition théâtrale afro-surinamaise de danse et chanson peu connue: le Du . Alors que le Du a généralement été étudié comme une expression culturelle uniquement surinamaise, cet article place la tradition théâtrale dans un contexte caribéen plus large et accorde une attention particulière aux parallèles avec les Sets jamaïcains. Sur la base de ces parallèles, il soutient que le Du peut être compris comme une variante d'un phénomène culturel caribéen plus large. Il explore également la possibilité d'un héritage culturel partagé avec des racines en Afrique, plus particulièrement dans la mascarade Dou d'Afrique de l'Ouest et le rituel kikumbe d'Afrique centrale. Cependant, il montre également que le Du et le Sets trouvent des parallèles dans les traditions luso-africaines et défend que leur origine culturelle commun pourrait également consister en des traditions syncrétiques qui, déjà sur le sol africain, mélangeaient des éléments indigènes avec des éléments enracinés dans la culture ibérique du début de l'époque moderne.

Texto completoResumen
Background. A high risk of schizophrenia has been found among Caribbean immigrants in the Netherlands and Great Britain. One hypothesis to explain these findings is that patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or patients with symptoms of psychosis not specifically diagnosed, emigrate more than the general population. Such selection might account for high rates of Surinamese patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia in Netherlands psychiatric hospitals. We examined this hypothesis.Methods. The files of patients with schizophrenia or patients suffering from unspecified psychosis were selected from the archives of the National Psychiatric Hospital in Surinam. These patients were traced to investigate patterns of emigration. Data from the Central Bureau for Statistics in the Netherlands and from the Central Population Bureau in Surinam provided the percentage of the general Surinamese population that emigrated to the Netherlands. The difference between the two percentages was evaluated using the chi-squared test. Using the same method the percentage of remigration from the Netherlands among Surinamese patients was compared with the percentage of remigration among the general Surinamese population.Results. Surinamese patients with schizophrenia or unspecified psychosis did not emigrate more frequently to the Netherlands compared with the general Surinamese population. They did remigrate significantly more frequently.Conclusion. High migration rates do not explain the high hospital admission rates for schizophrenia among Surinamese in the Netherlands.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract This paper examines the grammatical voice system of Indonesian and Surinamese Javanese speakers. Alongside Javanese, the Surinamese speakers also speak Sranantongo and Dutch. Studying the use of voice in both speaker groups shows that it depends both on givenness and animacy of arguments. This interacts with the speaker group. The Surinamese speakers were found to be less discourse-dependent, due to general language contact processes as well as convergence to Dutch and Sranantongo.

This research discusses the adaptation strategy of Javanese Surinamese repatriates in Tongar Nagari Aia Gadang Village, West Pasaman. The aim of this research is to describe the initial obstacles faced by Javanese Surinamese repatriates in Tongar Village and to describe the adaptation strategies of Javanese Surinamese repatriates in Tongar village. This research method used is qualitative research. Data collection techniques are field observations, interviews and documentation. The theories used are Michael P. Todaro's migration theory and John W. Bennet's adaptation theory. The findings of this research are that Javanese Surinamese repatriates who were in Tongar Village faced obstacles such as language, economics, land ownership and difficult road access when they came to Tongar, then the repatriants adapted to their new environment by means of cultural adjustments, interaction processes, job options, road repairs. Therefore, these repatriates have their own way of continuing to survive in Tongar Village, they have also started to get used to socializing and are used to their new environment, so that the Javanese Surinamese repatriates can survive to this day in Tongar Village.

AbstractDuring the 1960s, after a long period of suppression, a renaissance of Afro-Surinamese culture started. Around the same time Pentecostalism was introduced with great success. In this article it is being argued that the worldviews of the Afro-Surinamese Winti-religion and of Pentecostalism are interlocking, explaining the attractiveness of the latter to Afro-Surinamese who since their acceptance of Christianity had been confronted with suppression and ridiculization of their worldview as "superstition" in the mainstream missionary churches.

AbstractObjectiveTo test Koctürk’s model of dietary change among South-Asian Surinamese in the Netherlands. The model categorizes foods into staple, complementary and accessory foods and postulates that dietary change after migration begins with accessory foods while foods associated with ethnic identity (staple foods) change at a slower rate.DesignCross-sectional data from the HELIUS study. Dietary intake was assessed with an FFQ. Acculturation was based on social contacts and sense of belonging and was translated into four strategies of acculturation: assimilation, integration, separation and marginalization. Other indicators of acculturation included residence duration, age at migration and migration generation status.SettingAmsterdam, the Netherlands.SubjectsParticipants of Dutch (n 1456) and South-Asian Surinamese origin (n 968).ResultsAcross all acculturation strategies, South-Asian Surinamese participants reported significantly higher intakes of rice (staple food) and chicken (complementary food) and significantly lower intakes of red meat and vegetables (complementary foods) and cookies and sweets (accessory food) than Dutch participants. Men, second-generation and assimilated South-Asian Surinamese were inclined towards Dutch foods such as potato, pasta and red meat. Accessory foods like fruits showed variation across acculturation strategies.ConclusionsConsistent with the Koctürk model, the intake of staple foods was stable among South-Asian Surinamese irrespective of acculturation strategy while the intake of accessory foods like fruit varied. Contrary to expectations, South-Asian Surinamese showed consistently high intakes of complementary foods like chicken and fish irrespective of acculturation strategy. Public health practitioners should take into consideration the complex and dynamic nature of dietary acculturation.

Background: Suicidal behavior is a severe public health problem. Aims: To determine the rates of attempted and completed suicide among ethnic groups in The Hague, The Netherlands (2002–2004). Methods: By analyzing data on attempted and completed suicide (from the psychiatric department of general medical hospitals; the psychiatric emergency service and the municipal coroners). Results: Turkish and Surinamese females aged 15–24 years were at highest risk for attempted suicide (age-specific rate 545 / 100,000 and 421 / 100,000 person-years, respectively). Both rates were significantly higher than in the same age group of Dutch females (246 / 100,000 person-years). Turkish (2%) and Surinamese (7%) had lower repeat suicide-attempt rates than did Dutch (16%) females aged 15–24. Significantly lower suicide-attempt rates were found for Surinamese than for Dutch females aged 35–54 years. Differences were not explained by socioeconomic living conditions. The ratio fatal/nonfatal events was 4.5 times higher in males than in females and varied across age, gender, and ethnicity strata. Completed suicide was rare among migrant females. No completed suicides were observed in the Turkish and Surinamese females aged 15–24 years. Conclusions: The study demonstrates a high risk of attempted suicide and a low risk of completed suicide among young Turkish and Surinamese females.

AbstractObjective:Several authors have questioned the suitability of WHO Child Growth Standards (WHO-CGS) for all ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to identify potential misclassification of stunting, underweight and wasting in children of Surinamese Asian Indian, South Asian (Pakistan/India) and Dutch descent.Design:A series of routine cross-sectional measurements, collected 2012–2015. South Asian-specific normative growth references for weight-for-age and weight-for-length/height were constructed using the LMS method based on historic growth data of Surinamese Asian Indians born between 1974 and 1976. WHO-CGS and ethnic-specific references were applied to calculate z-scores and prevalence of stunting, underweight and wasting.Setting:Youth HealthCare, providing periodical preventive health check-ups.Participants:11 935 children aged 0–5 years.Results:Considerable deviations from WHO-CGS were found, with higher-than-expected stunting rates, especially in the first 6 months of life. Surinamese Asian Indian children showed stunting rates up to 16·0 % and high underweight and wasting over the whole age range (up to 7·2 and 6·7 %, respectively). Dutch children consistently had mean WHO-CGS z-scores 0·3–0·5 sd above the WHO baseline (>6 months). The application of ethnic-specific references showed low rates for all studied indicators, although South Asian children were taller and larger than their Surinamese Asian Indian counterparts.Conclusions:WHO-CGS misclassify a considerable proportion of children from all ethnic groups as stunted in the first 6 months of life. Underweight and wasting are considerably overestimated in Surinamese Asian Indian children. Ethnic-specific growth references are recommended for Surinamese Asian Indian and Dutch children. The considerable differences found between South Asian subpopulations requires further research.

Around 1960 he decided to opt for a job as a diplomat at the Netherlands embassy in Washington and the United Nations in New York. Since his native country, Suriname, was still a part of the Netherlands, it could not lead its own foreign policy. Lichtveld advised the government in Suriname, but worked along the lines of the Foreign Department of The Netherlands in The Hague. This position was extremely complicated: we see him struggling with his loyalties when he has to present the Dutch standpoint in the UN in the case of the apartheid-policy in South-Africa.

This paper shows that Dutch verb-particle constructions have been transferred into the Surinamese creole languages as a result of pervasive multilingualism and intensive contact. Particle-verb structures are, at most, marginal in the native grammar of Surinamese creoles. However, recent data show that verb-particle constructions of the Dutch sort are becoming productive and are used with some homogeneity in the creole language context.

In June 2020, sixteen Indonesian migrant workers (IMW) who worked as fishing boat crew in a Surinamese company fled to the Indonesian Embassy in Paramaribo, Suriname to acquire protection and assistance. They revealed that the company had failed to uphold their rights, committed inhuman treatment, and resulted in numerous losses. The embassy then immediately exercised a consular function to protect their safety and tried to facilitate the demands of those sailors to relevant parties and local authorities. The article aims to analyze the role of Indonesian representatives to protect the rights of Indonesian migrant workers in Suriname based on the International Labour (ILO) conventions. It is juridical empirical research that was conducted through visiting and field research to the Indonesian Embassy in Suriname in November 2020. The research suggested that Indonesian representatives in Suriname have played a significant role in advocating the IMW rights through all possible means, including mediation, negotiation, and diplomatic channels. In addition, there is a need to create a Memorandum of Understanding between Indonesia and Suriname to ensuring proper protection for migrant workers.

AbstractPentecostal-Charismatic Christianity (P/C) is one of the fastest-growing religions worldwide. Some scholars connect P/C’s success with broad processes of globalization. Others try to unravel more personal dynamics of conversion. This article seeks to understand both global forces and local cultural reasons to believe. It focuses first on the remarkable paradox that explains the movement’s popularity among African-Surinamese (Caribbean) believers: what appears as P/C’s rejection of their traditional religious system turns out to be a reinterpretation of beliefs and practices. From this line of argument I argue that P/C actually enables people, by ways of demonization, to express their spirituality and translate magico-religious conceptions into an acceptable framework. In conclusion, I put this Pentecostal paradox into larger perspective, stressing similarities with other religious movements and exposing an eclectic attitude towards religion that does not only meet personal belief experiences, but also challenges the hegemonic position of established Christian churches in Suriname.

Abstract Introduction Shift-work is a riskfactor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). We studied the association between irregular working hours and CVD in a multi-ethnic population in the Netherlands, and compared this association between various ethnicities. Methods Logistic regression was used to study the cross-sectional association between (a history of) irregular working hours and prevalent CVD (self-reported myocardial infarction, dotter/bypass operation or stroke) in 18.746 participants (18–71 years) of Dutch, South-Asian Surinamese, African Surinamese, Ghanaian, Turkish, or Moroccan origin from the Healthy Life in an Urban Setting (HELIUS)-Study. We adjusted for sex, age, occupational level, smoking, alcohol use, physical inactivity, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia. To study ethnic differences, we tested for interaction between irregular working hours and ethnicity with Dutch as the reference-population, and stratified the analysis by ethnicity. Results The prevalence CVD was 17.8% (740 out of 4.159) and 13.9% (2.026 out of 14.587) in the population with and without irregular working hours, respectively. Working irregular hours was associated with CVD (adjusted odds-ratio(OR) 1.18, (95%-confidence interval(CI): 1.07-1.30). Stratified by ethnicity, strongest associations with CVD were found for South-Asian Surinamese (OR 1.39, 95%-CI: 1.11-1.74) and Moroccans (OR 1.38, 95%-CI: 1.07, 1.79). The OR for CVD between individuals with versus without irregular working hours among the South-Asian Surinamese was significantly different from the Dutch (p=0.04). Discussion and conclusion The present study demonstrates that working irregular hours is an independent risk factor for CVD in a multi-ethnic population. In particular, individuals from South-Asian Surinamese and Moroccans origin working irregular hours are at increased risk to have developed CVD.

AbstractObjectiveInsight into the role of acculturation in dietary patterns is important to inform the development of nutrition programmes that target ethnic minority groups. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate how the adherence to dietary patterns within an ethnic minority population in the Netherlands varies by acculturation level compared with the host population.DesignCross-sectional study using data of the HELIUS study. Dietary patterns were assessed with an ethnic-specific FFQ. Acculturation was operationalized using unidimensional proxies (residence duration, age at migration and generation status) as well as on the basis of the bidimensional perspective, defined by four distinct acculturation strategies: assimilation, integration, separation and marginalization.SettingAmsterdam, the Netherlands.SubjectsParticipants of Dutch (n 1370) and Surinamese (n 1727) origin.ResultsThree dietary patterns were identified: (i) ‘noodle/rice dishes and white meat’ (traditional Surinamese pattern); (ii) ‘red meat, snacks and sweets’; and (iii) ‘vegetables, fruit and nuts’. Surinamese-origin respondents adhered more to the traditional Surinamese pattern than the other dietary patterns. Neither the unidimensional proxies nor the bidimensional acculturation strategies demonstrated consistent associations with dietary patterns.ConclusionsThe lack of consistent association between acculturation and dietary patterns in the present study indicates that dietary patterns are quite robust. Understanding the continued adherence to traditional dietary patterns when developing dietary interventions in ethnic minority groups is warranted.

IntroductionWe aimed to investigate ethnic differences in two urinary inflammatory markers in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Research design and methodsWe included 55 Dutch, 127 South-Asian Surinamese, 92 African Surinamese, 62 Ghanaian, 74 Turkish and 88 Moroccan origin participants with T2DM from the HEalthy LIfe in an Urban Setting study. Using linear regression analyses, we investigated differences in urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and heparanase-1 (HPSE-1) levels across ethnic minorities compared with Dutch. Associations between the urinary markers and albuminuria (albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR)) was investigated per ethnicity.ResultsUrinary MCP-1 levels were higher in the Moroccan participants (0.15 log ng/mmol, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.26) compared with Dutch after multiple adjustments. Urinary HPSE-1 levels were lower in the African Surinamese and Ghanaian participants compared with the Dutch, with a difference of −0.16 log mU/mmol (95% CI −0.29 to −0.02) in African Surinamese and −0.16 log mU/mmol (95% CI −0.31 to −0.00) in Ghanaian after multiple adjustments. In all ethnic groups except the Dutch and Ghanaian participants, MCP-1 was associated with ACR. This association remained strongest after multiple adjustment in South-Asian and African Surinamese participants, with an increase in log ACR of 1.03% (95% CI 0.58 to 1.47) and 1.23% (95% CI 0.52 to 1.94) if log MCP-1 increased 1%. Only in the Dutch participants, an association between HPSE-1 and ACR was found, with increase in log ACR of 0.40% (95% CI 0.04 to 0.76) if log HPSE-1 increased 1%.ConclusionsWe found ethnic differences in urinary MCP-1 and HPSE-1 levels, in a multi-ethnic cohort of participants with T2DM. In addition, we found ethnic differences in the association of MCP-1 and HPSE-1 levels with albuminuria. These findings suggest differences in renal inflammation across ethnic groups.

According to the Dutch colonizers in Suriname, leprosy (or Hansen’s disease) was highly contagious and transmitted from human-to-human. A “cordon sanitaire” was constructed around the patients, mainly African slaves and Asian indentured laborers and their descendants. They were tracked down and incarcerated in remote leprosy settlements located in the rainforest. Some patients obeyed the authorities while others resisted and rebelled. Their narratives, revealing conceptual entanglement of the disease with their culture and the Surinamese natural environment, contain important information for understanding their world and their life inside and outside of leprosy settlements. They combined traditional health practices and medicinal plants from their natural habitat with biomedical treatments (practicing medical pluralism). They believed in a diversity of disease explanations, predominantly the taboo concepts treef, tyina, and totem animals associated with their natural habitat (the Surinamese biome). Some of their imaginary explanations (e.g., “leprosy is carried and/or transmitted through soil and certain animals”) show a surprising analogy with recent findings from leprosy scientists. Our research shows that nature contributes to shaping the world of Hansen’s disease patients. An ecological approach can make a valuable contribution to understanding their world. Comparative historical and anthropological research needs to be conducted to map the influence of different biomes on local explanatory models. The now deserted Hansen’s disease settlements and their natural environments are interesting research sites and important places of cultural heritage.

Background Age-friendly neighbourhoods seem to promote physical activity among older individuals. Physical activity is especially important for chronically ill individuals. In the Netherlands, older Surinamese individuals are more likely to have chronic diseases than are their native Dutch counterparts. This study examined relationships of neighbourhood characteristics with physical activity among older Surinamese individuals in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Methods Of 2749 potential participants, 697 (25%) community-dwelling older (age ≥ 70 years) Surinamese individuals living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, completed a questionnaire on personal and neighbourhood characteristics between March and June 2020. Correlation and multilevel regression analyses were performed to identify associations between missing neighbourhood characteristics for ageing in place and physical activity. Results Scores for the neighbourhood domains communication and information (r = -0.099, p ≤ 0.05), community support and health services (r = -0.139, p ≤ 0.001), and respect and social inclusion (r = -0.141, p ≤ 0.001), correlated negatively with participants’ PA. In the multilevel analysis, overall missing neighbourhood characteristics to age in place scores were associated negatively with physical activity (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion This study showed the importance of age-friendly neighbourhoods for physical activity among older Surinamese individuals in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Our findings suggest that the neighbourhood plays an important role in supporting older individuals’ leading of physically active lifestyles. Further research is needed to support the development of interventions to create age-friendly neighbourhoods.

This article explores the ownership of cultural objects within national and traditional customary law in Suriname, with the aim to provide a legal context to the issue of claims for the return of some of these cultural objects from the Netherlands. The discussion of the legal regime for exporting cultural objects examines the National Ordinance of 1952 on Provisions for the Preservation of Objects with Historical, Cultural, and Scientific Value; the Movement of Goods Act of 2003; and the Monuments Act of 2002, which protects immovable objects, objects of archaeological excavations, and discoveries. This is followed by a short overview of the legal regime relating to the ownership of cultural property under the Surinamese Civil Code. Next this article outlines the property law of cultural objects under customary laws of Indigenous and Tribal communities in Suriname and how these may be included in the Draft Civil Code and the Draft Legislation on Rules Concerning the Collective Land Rights of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples. The article concludes that neither the existing legal framework nor the draft legislation provide answers on dealing with cultural objects acquired in a colonial context and the possible repatriation of such objects.

This paper explores how West African migrants’ movements impacts their religious imagery and that of those they encounter in the diaspora. It specifically addresses how, through the circulation of objects, rituals, and themselves, West Africans and Black Dutchmen of Surinamese descent link, in a Dutch urban setting, spiritual empowering and protection to the African soil. West African ‘mediums’ offer services such as divination and amulet making since about twenty years in the Netherlands. Dutch-Surinamese clients form a large part of their clientele, soliciting a connection to African, ancestral spiritual power, a power which West African mediums enforce through the use of herbs imported from West Africa and by rituals, such as animal sacrifices and libations, arranged for in West Africa. This paper explores how West Africans and Dutchmen of Surinamese descent, through a remarkable mix of repertoires alluding to notions of Africa, Sufi Islam, Winti, and Western divination, creatively reinvent a shared understanding of ‘African power’.

It is currently unknown whether associations between gut microbiota composition and type 2 diabetes (T2D) differ according to the ethnic background of individuals. Thus, we studied these associations in participants from two ethnicities characterized by a high T2D prevalence and living in the same geographical area, using the Healthy Life In Urban Settings (HELIUS) study. We included 111 and 128 T2D participants on metformin (Met-T2D), 78 and 49 treatment-naïve T2D (TN-T2D) participants, as well as a 1:1 matched group of healthy controls from, respectively, African Surinamese and South-Asian Surinamese descent. Fecal microbiome profiles were obtained through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Univariate and machine learning analyses were used to explore the associations between T2D and the composition and function of the gut microbiome in both ethnicities, comparing Met-T2D and TN-T2D participants to their respective healthy control. We found a lower α-diversity for South-Asian Surinamese TN-T2D participants but no significant associations between TN-T2D status and the abundance of bacterial taxa or functional pathways. In African Surinamese participants, we did not find any association between TN-T2D status and the gut microbiome. With respect to Met-T2D participants, we identified several bacterial taxa and functional pathways with a significantly altered abundance in both ethnicities. More alterations were observed in South-Asian Surinamese. Some altered taxa and pathways observed in both ethnicities were previously related to metformin use. This included a strong negative association between the abundance of Romboutsia and Met-T2D status. Other bacterial taxa were consistent with previous observations in T2D, including reduced butyrate producers such as Anaerostipes hadrus. Hence, our results highlighted both shared and unique gut microbial biomarkers of Met-T2D in individuals from different ethnicities but living in the same geographical area. Future research using higher-resolution shotgun sequencing is needed to clarify the role of ethnicity in the association between T2D and gut microbiota composition.

AbstractStaatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V., together with the gold mining industry, has gradually become a major contributor to the Surinamese economy since the decline of the alumina industry. In the last 35 years, about 110MMbbls (million barrels) of crude oil have been produced. Staatsolie is now in the early stages of fulfilling its VISION 2030, which is not only aimed at increased exploration and production but also at power generation, further diversification and regional expansion. The basis for achieving these goals is accelerated on- and offshore exploration, followed by growth in production. The offshore region remains a frontier area, with only a few wells drilled. Current production is about 17,000bopd (barrels of oil per day). Between 2007 and 2014, Staatsolie has spent about US$120 million on exploration. An integrated study for the Suriname–Guyana Basin carried out by Staatsolie in 2009 demonstrated the upside potential of this basin from a source rock potential perspective, which has been proven by both the Liza-1 oil discovery offshore of Guyana in 2015 and the Zaedyus-1 oil discovery offshore of French Guiana in 2011.Staatsolie is now focusing its efforts on the near-shore area, where it recently concluded a five-well drilling programme, following a 3-D seismic survey. In the deep offshore area, international oil companies (IOCs) are actively pursuing the next discovery in the Atlantic Margin, partly driven by the conjugate-margin theory geologically linking South America and West Africa.Staatsolie is also attempting to increase recovery from the most mature and largest oilfield, the Tambaredjo Field, through Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technologies of which polymer flooding is deemed the most suitable, with estimated potential incremental recovery of up to 12%.Staatsolie recognises the role of a highly skilled and motivated workforce and therefore continues investing in its people through internal as well as external training. Thirty-five years after it was founded by Mr Eddy Jharap, a geologist by training and the first Managing Director of the company, it can be stated that Staatsolie has taken its place in Surinamese society as a significant contributor to the economy, a preferred employer, a nucleus for industrial spin-off and an example for other companies.

SummaryWe tested the hypothesis that the increased incidence of schizophrenia among Surinamese immigrants to The Netherlands could be explained by a similarly high incidence in Surinam. We conducted a 1-year first-contact incidence study in Surinam and compared the findings with data from a similar study conducted in The Netherlands using the same inclusion criteria and instruments. The risk of developing a schizophrenic disorder was 2.4 times higher (95% CI 1.3–4.2) in Surinamese immigrants than in residents of Surinam. The increased risk is probably due to environmental factors in The Netherlands.

Suriname is located in the extreme north of South America in a region called Guyana Shield, that includes French Guiana, Republic of Guyana, Suriname and part of Venezuela and northern Brazil. It’s literature is marked by cultural and linguistic ethnic plurality and the thematization of social contradictions. In the case of the literature of Suriname, the narratives that compose this space inscribed in the heterogeneity are populated by characters historically silenced, as enslaved women, workers of the plantations, "bushnengués", among others, but who speak, despite being intermediated by a writer, as representatives of cultures not valued and/or little known. In this sense, this article will discuss two Surinamese historical novels written by Cynthia McLeod,<em>The free negress Elisabeth: prisoner of color</em> (2004) and <em>Tutuba: the girl from the slave-shipLeudsen</em>(2013), addressing, more specifically, how her literature questions the current literary paradigms and discusses the problematic of women’s voices, whose legitimacy is continually put in question.

BackgroundInternational migrants differ from host populations in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. It has been postulated that these disparities narrow with longer residence duration. Our aim was to determine whether CVD risk still differs between migrants and host population after decades of residence and to determine whether this potential convergence of CVD risk would occur mainly among migrants with a strong cultural orientation towards the host culture.MethodsIn the Healthy Life in an Urban Setting study, we obtained data regarding residence duration, cultural orientation as estimated by the Psychological Acculturation Scale and CVD risk as estimated by SCORE among the Dutch host population and first generation migrants from South-Asian Surinamese, African Surinamese, Moroccan and Turkish ethnic background residing in Amsterdam. Estimated CVD risk was compared with the Dutch, separately for medium-term residence (15–30 years) or long-term residence (>30 years) migrants, and by strong/weak cultural orientation towards the Dutch culture, using age-adjusted regression analyses.ResultsAmong 8672 participants without prior CVD, estimated CVD risk was higher among migrant groups relative to the Dutch. CVD risk relative to the Dutch did not differ by residence duration (betas ranging from 0.1 to 3.4 for medium-term and from 0.6 to 3.3 for long-term residence, respectively). Furthermore, these patterns did not differ by cultural orientation towards the Dutch culture.ConclusionWe find no indication that CVD risk among South-Asian Surinamese, African Surinamese, Turkish or Moroccan migrants converges to that of the Dutch host population with increasing residence duration, not even among those with strong cultural orientation towards the host culture.

Research into proficiency in the Surinamese languages by Surinamese children in the Netherlands has to contend with a twofold problem with regard to the question of the norm. There are no clear norms for the Surinamese languages. In addition, there is the general problem of norms for the investigation of primary language loss. To characterize the proficiency of children in Sarnami and Sranan, the languages of the Surinamese Hindustani and Creole communities, the method of working with several judges appears to be fraught with problems. This article reports on the results of an estimation and error analysis with one judge for each language, supplemented with some quantitative language measures. The investigation involved 16 Hindustani and 12 Creole children from primary school classes containing a rather high proportion of children from their own ethnic groups in the Hague ana Amsterdam respectively. The children had to recall a taped story in Sarnami or Sranan, give a summary of a Dutch geography text and relate some experience of their own in a conversation with a Hindustani or Creole researcher. The speech was transcribed and presented in written form to the judges. The mean scores for errors turned out to be remarkably low: there were almost no errors in word order, while morphological and lexical errors remained under 5% and transfer of morphology from Dutch was negligible. Depending on the nature of the task, the judges' estimate of the use of Dutch words instead of Surinamese words (in mixed sentences) varied from 3-10%. The summary yielded most of these. The total number of Dutch words in the geography text was a third. The judges' estimate is in line with the result that judges in general are more tolerant in accepting Dutch words concerning education as being part of the Surinamese lexica. The children produce more complete Dutch sentences in the conversation task, probably because this task approximates to spontaneous language most, while recall and summary tasks stimulate monitoring. In general, the use of Dutch words does not affect the basic grammatical structures of the Suri-namese languages. With regard to social variables, proficiency appears to be linked to the home language for the Hindustani children, and to contact with other children of their own ethnic group for the Creole children. Length of residence in the Netherlands appears not to be important for Hindustani children, while a longer stay appears to result in a lesser degree of proficiency for Creole children. The Eroportion of girls and boys was equal for the Hindustani children, oys appear to be slightly more proficient in Sarnami.

This discussion highlights the vital role anthropologists have played in negotiating issues of heritage management in the recent Inter- American Court of Human Rights' (IACHR) decision regarding the rights of Saramaka Maroons to ancestral land that was destroyed without the acknowledgement, authority or agreement of Saramaka peoples. The Saramaka, a tribal group living in Suriname, accused the Surinamese government of allowing multi-national logging enterprises to harvest timber from traditional Saramaka territory. In addition to this violation of human rights, the government did not provide a plan following the destruction of Saramaka collective property. In response, the Association of Saramaka Authorities submitted a petition to the Inter-American Commission claiming the government of Suriname did not consider the socio-cultural character, and the subsistence and spiritual relationship the Saramaka have with their environmental heritage. The IACHR judgment1 arms the Saramaka with the legal underpinning to enact a heritage management strategy to safeguard their physical and cultural survival.

Aims There are important ethnic differences in the prevalence of hypertension and hypertension-mediated cardiovascular complications, but there is ongoing debate on the nature of these differences. We assessed the contribution of lifestyle, socio-economic and psychosocial variables to ethnic differences in hypertension prevalence. Methods We used cross-sectional data from the Healthy Life In an Urban Setting (HELIUS) study, including 21,520 participants aged 18–70 years of South-Asian Surinamese ( n = 3032), African Surinamese ( n = 4124), Ghanaian ( n = 2331), Turkish ( n = 3594), Moroccan ( n = 3891) and Dutch ( n = 4548) ethnic origin. Ethnic differences in hypertension prevalence rates were examined using logistic regression models. Results After adjustment for a broad range of variables, significant higher hypertension prevalence compared to the Dutch population remained in Ghanaian men (odds ratio 2.62 (95% confidence interval 2.14–3.22)) and women (4.16 (3.39–5.12)), African Surinamese men (1.62 (1.37–1.92)) and women (2.70 (2.29–3.17)) and South-Asian Surinamese men (1.22 (1.15–1.46)) and women (1.84 (1.53–2.22)). In contrast, Turkish men (0.72 (0.60–0.87)) and Moroccan men (0.50 (0.41–0.61)) and women (0.57 (0.46–0.71)) had a lower hypertension prevalence compared with the Dutch population. The differences in hypertension prevalence were present across different age groups and persisted after stratification for body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio. Conclusion Large ethnic differences in hypertension prevalence exist that are already present in young adulthood. Adjustment for common variables known to be associated with a higher risk of hypertension explained the higher adjusted prevalence rates among Turks and Moroccans, but not in African and South-Asian descent populations who remained to have a higher rate of hypertension compared to the Dutch host population.

Abstract Background Hypertension disproportionately affects ethnic minority groups. Although health literacy may play role in these ethnic inequalities, little is known about the extent to which health literacy affects hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment and control in different ethnic groups. Therefore, we assessed these associations in a multi-ethnic population. Methods Baseline data from the HELIUS study were used including participants of Dutch (n = 1948), South-Asian Surinamese (n = 2054) and African Surinamese (n = 1932) origin aged 18–70 years, who lived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, were fluent in Dutch and underwent health literacy assessment through the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine–Dutch (REALM-D). The REALM-D was categorized either as low (<60 sumscore) or adequate (≥60 sumscore) health literacy. Participants completed questionnaires and underwent physical examination. Results After adjusting for confounding variables, Dutch [odds ratio (OR) 2.02; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.11–3.64] and African Surinamese (OR 1.36; 1.03–1.79) with low health literacy were more likely than those with adequate health literacy to have hypertension, whereas in South-Asian Surinamese this association was not significant. No significant associations were found between health literacy and hypertension awareness, treatment and control in any of the ethnic groups. Conclusion Findings indicate that health literacy is associated with hypertension prevalence in selected ethnic groups, but not with hypertension awareness, treatment and control. Targeting health literacy might be an entry point for tackling ethnic inequalities in hypertension prevalence. To substantially reduce these inequalities, further research is needed to explore other factors and pathways through which health literacy may impact hypertension outcomes in different ethnic groups.

The objective of this study was to establish the relationship betweenCandida vaginalisand (pre)neoplasia and the prevalence ofCandidaand (pre)neoplasia related to age and ethnicity. Data were collected from 445,671 asymptomatic women invited for mass screening between 1995 and 2002 and coded according to the Dutch cervical smear coding system (KOPAC) with six grades for (pre)neoplastic changes. Prevalence and relative risks (RRs) were established forCandidaand squamous abnormalities in Dutch women and four groups of immigrants. The prevalence ofCandidais significantly higher in the cohort of 30-year-old women and lower in the cohorts of 45-, 50-, 55-, and 60-year-old women. The RR of havingCandidawas higher for Surinamese women (1.24; CI 1.08–1.42). Furthermore, the RR of having mild dysplasia was higher for Surinamese women (1.47; CI 1.14–1.89) and for women born in other countries than in The Netherlands, Turkey, and Morocco (1.36; CI 1.13–1.62). No statistically significant relationship between (pre)neoplasia andCandidawas observed.C. vaginalisis more frequent among Surinamese women. Presence ofCandidais not associated with an increased risk for squamous abnormalities; therefore, women carryingCandidaare not at an increased risk of developing cervical cancer.

ObjectivesCardiovascular disease (CVD) is of increasing concern among breast cancer survivors. However, evidence on ethnic differences in CVD among women with breast cancer is sparse. We assessed ethnic differences in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among patients with breast cancer in the Netherlands.MethodsA nationwide register-based cohort study comprising all women with a first admission for breast cancer (n=127 714) between 1996 and 2010 in the Netherlands was conducted. Differences in CVD admission, CVD mortality and overall CVD event, which comprised a CVD admission and/or CVD mortality, between the largest ethnic minority groups (Surinamese, Moroccan, Turkish, Antillean and Indonesian) and the Dutch general population (henceforth, Dutch) were investigated using Cox proportional hazard models.ResultsThe incidence of cardiovascular outcomes varied by the ethnic group. The incidence of an overall cardiovascular event was significantly higher for women with breast cancer from Suriname (HR 1.46; 95% CI 1.29 to 1.64) and Turkey (HR 1.25; 95% CI 1.03 to 1.51), compared with Dutch women with breast cancer. In contrast, Indonesian women with breast cancer had a significantly lower risk (HR 0.88; 95% CI 0.81 to 0.96) of a cardiovascular event compared with Dutch women with breast cancer. The risk of a cardiovascular event did not differ between Moroccan and Dutch women with breast cancer, whereas for Antillean women the risk was not significantly higher.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that Surinamese and Turkish women with breast cancer are disadvantaged in terms of cardiovascular outcomes compared with Dutch women with breast cancer. More work is needed to unravel the potential factors contributing to these differences.

Abstract Diaspora groups across the world have been known for adopting and inventing processes and forms of ‘homemaking’ in their host lands. This article brings into focus the methods of homemaking assumed by the Indo-Surinamese Hindustani diaspora in the Netherlands, which owes its origin to colonial dispersal. Considering their status as a ‘twice-migrant’ diaspora, the process may appear to be distinctly difficult for the Hindustanis, a position this article seeks to examine. The article interrogates the notion of homemaking in the case of the Hindustanis through ethnographic conversational interviews of Indo-Surinamese interlocutors—a unique perspective based on personal histories and everyday experiences.
