  • Heel irritant om te horen hoe er gesproken wordt over de 'promiscuïteit' van de boslandcreolen. Men 'vergeet' er even bij te vermelden, zoals de witten dat vaker doen, dat dit een overlevering is van de slavernij: gezinnen werden bewust uit elkaar gehaald en gehouden door de witten. En dat voor 400 jaar. Tsja!

  • Hi very nice to see my country way back then. Just wanted to correct , the languages are not called "Taki Taki", and they do have written language ! Was funny to hear the way names are pronounced...but very nice. Thank you for posting.

  • 1;30 "The jungle which the white man could not conquer, took them in and provided them with the heart for the free existance. Even after slavery was abolished in the Dutch Guiana, they remain in the wild habitat, which they conquered and continued to defy the encroachment of civilization".

  • 1:46 "And now we have arrived in the land of the Djuka's. Just behind this waterfall lies a village that was founded two centuries ago and remain to this day as a remarkable testimony or to the African slaves who broke their chains of bondage and founded the first independent democracy in the new world."

  • you mean oom tom?

  • what is taki taki?

  • @MyLalinea is een oom tom

  • Well the information is fantastic. The narrator struck me as 'old fashion'.

  • This is fantastic.

  • yes in 1933 we didn't realize who was the primitive human ,us civilized peoples systematicly committing genocide on all levels and judging others on how they live

  • Beautiful

  • @aernoutalkemade: polygamie is niet hetzelfde als promiscuïteit. Daarbij heb ik tot op heden nog nergens gelezen dat de term polygamie wordt gehanteerd als men het heeft over de concubines en "seksslavinnen", die de witte slavenhouders toenertijd op na hielden terwijl diezelfde slavenhouders al een (wettelijke) vrouw hadden. Voorts vind ik gezinsuitbreiding binnen een samenlevingsvorm zoals bijv. polygamie niet vergelijkbaar met het worden gefokt zoals dat gedurende de slavernij gebeurde.
