Multiple communities
Indigenous, Maroon, Chinese, Javanese and Hindustani stories each call for their own sources and chronology. Follow one community in depth before drawing parallels.
Slavery and its legacy
Documents and personal objects connect colonial structures with lives. Note who created the source and how present-day descendants or researchers add to the presentation.
From Suriname to the Netherlands
Diaspora stories show displacement, a sense of home and cultural continuity. Choose one object whose function or meaning changed because it ended up in the Netherlands.
