Reize naar Surinamen en door de binnenste gedeelten van Guiana — Deel 2 by Stedman

"Reize naar Surinamen en door de binnenste gedeelten van Guiana — Deel 2" by John Gabriël Stedman is a travel account originally published in English in 1797 and translated into Dutch in 1799. This firsthand chronicle describes a five-year military expedition against escaped slaves in Suriname, beginning in 1773. Stedman documents the brutal realities of slavery, the organized resistance led by freedom fighters, and the devastating toll on both enslaved people and European soldiers. His observations of colonial cruelty and intimate relationships shaped how slavery in Suriname was understood for generations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
