1. Historical Ties Among Suriname, The Netherlands Antilles, Aruba, and The Netherlands

Collection:: Black Caribbean Literature (BCL)
Contributers:: Allison Blakely (Author)
Format:: Journal Article
Publication Date:: Summer, 1998
Published:: Johns Hopkins University Press
Location:: African American Research Center, Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Journal Title:: Callaloo
Journal Title Details:: 21(3) : 472-478
Notes:: History has produced a myriad of cultural overlays in the Caribbean and the adjacent region of South America, a legacy of centuries of intrusion by rival European empires and the consequent sporadic exchange between the European invaders of the various local territories and peoples they claimed to control. The result is a mixture of peoples, languages, religions, and all other aspects of human culture, reflected in enrichment of the respective European and African languages involved, as well as in creation of new hybrid languages. It is in this context that one can speak of "Caribbean" literature and art from Suriname and the Netherlands.

2. Dutch Caribbean Literature

Contributers:: Rutgers, Wim (Author) and Rollins,Scott (Translator)
Format:: Journal Article
Publication Date:: 1998
Published:: The Johns Hopkins University Press
Location:: African American Research Center, Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Journal Title:: Callaloo
Journal Title Details:: 21(3) : 542-555
Notes:: "Dutch Caribbean literature--that is literature written by Caribbean authors in Dutch--is written in Suriname, the Netherlands Antilles, Aruba and the Netherlands. So far, this literature has been reviewed from separate, national points of view. It is true that the countries differ. For centuries, Suriname was an agricultural and plantation economy; the Antilles flourished through trade. Suriname became independent in 1975, while the islands chose to remain part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This article seeks to transcend borders and opposites to approach this four century-old literature as the expression of a common Caribbean culture, a unity." --The Author

Notes:: In the Caribbean, researching women's lives in the past is made easier by the discovery of a few key sources which allow an insight into the private sphere of Caribbean women's lives. These records of women who have lived in the Caribbean since the 1800s consist of memoirs, diaries and letters. The autobiographical writings include the extraordinary record of Mary Prince, a Bermuda-born enslaved African woman. Other sources which have been examined are the diaries of women who were members of the elite in the society, and educated women who worked either in professions or through the church to assist others in their societies.
