The Time Between Suriname and the Netherlands: The Colonial Atlantic in 1932
Start a new DMP in Loading
Atlantic travel was an important part of life within the Dutch-Surinamese colonial system. How time was experienced on board, however, has been neglected in research. Knowing this will help us understand what happened to Surinamese and Dutch travellers during these momentous weeks of their lives, as well as travel’s impact on colony and ‘motherland’. Branching out from Anton de Kom’s decisive 1932 journey, I will experiment with the cutting-edge method of critical fabulation to reconstruct the on-board experiences not only of De Kom but of a stoker and a woman – a nurse? – almost completely missing from the archives.
