In the twenty-four centuries that have passed since the Athenians put Socrates to death, every generation has interpreted the meaning...

Freek de Goeje Een berg die mijn naam draagt
Naar het hart van de Surinaamse jungle, op zoek naar mijn koloniale erfenis
Honderd jaar geleden trok cartograaf Claudius de Goeje het regenwoud van koloniaal Suriname in. Hij maakte er kennis met natuur, dieren en mensen die zijn voorstelling te boven gingen.

Hoewel hierover ondertussen enkele boeken zijn geschreven – veelal door Hindostanen zelf – heeft deze geschiedenis het Nederlands publiek nauwelijks bereikt. Ongezien, ongehoord maakt de verbinding zichtbaar tussen afschaffing van de slavernij en de immigratie...
