Summary "Beschryvinge van de Volk-Plantinge Zuriname: vertonende de opkomst dier zelver Colonie…" is a historical account likely written in the early 18th century. The work provides a detailed depiction of the colony of Suriname, discussing its establishment, sugar plantations, and the lives and customs of the indigenous peoples and enslaved Africans. The book aims to present an objective view of the region's natural resources, cultural practices, and the societal dynamics during this colonial period. The opening of this work introduces the author's intent to document and faithfully recount the early days of the Suriname colony. The author emphasizes his first-hand observations and research during the period led by Governor Paul van der Veen. He highlights the region's geography, agriculture, and the various cultures present, including the indigenous Indian populations and enslaved Africans. Additionally, the author aims to address misconceptions about the colony by providing a comprehensive look at its resources, religions, daily lives, and governance, inviting readers to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of Suriname during its colonial era.
