Abstract

In Suriname, a large part of the population has Asian roots. There is not much information about their influence in literature and, therefore, the main impression is that the majority of its inhabitants are descendants of African origin. However, it has recently become clear that the contribution of Chinese, Hindustan and Javanese cultures are at least as significant as the indigenous, European, and African ones. Two authors, Anil Ramdas and Karin Amatmoekrim, excel for having written novels in which the problematic of the “other”, in this case of the migrant, to Suriname as well as to Holland, are central. Another author of Hindustan descent, Bea Vianen, wrote the first provocative novels about the position of women, in addition to her approach to the Latin American continent.
