About This Book

Een betoog dat de toestanden van slaven in Suriname en andere West-Indische koloniën onderzoekt aan de hand van getuigenissen, brieven en officiële mededelingen, en tegenstrijdigheden toont tussen optimistische ambtelijke rapporten en aangrijpende ooggetuigenverslagen van mishandeling, zware straffen, ontvluchtingen en strenge bewaking. De tekst bespreekt hoe religieuze en bestuurlijke rechtvaardigingen samenleven met praktijk van geweld en seksueel misbruik, werpt morele vragen op over paternalistische retoriek en pleit voor betere bescherming en emancipatie van tot slaaf gemaakten.
