Reize naar Surinamen en door de binnenste gedeelten van Guiana — Compleet
"Reize naar Surinamen en door de binnenste gedeelten van Guiana — Compleet" by John Gabriël Stedman is a travel account published in Dutch in 1799. This firsthand narrative chronicles a five-year military expedition against escaped slaves in Suriname, beginning in 1773. Stedman documents the brutal realities of colonial slavery, the organized resistance of freedom fighters, and the devastating cost of warfare in the tropics. His observations of nature, plantation life, and colonial
cruelty shaped European perceptions of slavery and its abolition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
