Anton de Kom, historiographe. La construction d’un passé national pour les esclaves du Surinam by Kim Andringa

“…Two historical sources in particular serve this aim: Geschiedenis van Suriname (1861) by Julien Wolbers, an abolitionist minister, and the famous Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam (1796) by John Gabriel Stedman, Scottish adventurer. Our analysis of the main rewriting approaches (identicalness, omission, addition, paraphrase) brings out how De Kom discredits the colonial authorities and rehabilitates the coloured populations, by willingly creating a postcolonial archive and identity.…”

Yet the work pays indirect homage to Scott, whose historical novels contributed to the birth of the French “grand opera”, by rewriting scenes or situations drawn from Scott. …”
