They Speak DUTCH in SOUTH AMERICA? (Suriname)

Paramaribo: The Coolest City You've Never Heard Of ???????? (#108)

If you look at a map of South America very carefully, you'll notice a little country called Suriname in the top right corner. They don't speak Spanish there. They surprisingly speak Dutch, along with a ton of other languages. Gone are the Latin influences, instead you find touches of Indonesia, India, China, Holland and West Africa. It's a fascinating place, and I was going to start with the capital, Paramaribo, to get a better understanding of it.

Thankfully, there was plenty of food and Parbo beer waiting for me. But first, I had to learn Dutch - a sentence I never thought would escape my mouth.

Growing up South Asian (Surinamese) Dutch ???????? ???????? ????????

Who is Dutch? What is it like growing up as a Surinamese (South Asian) in the Netherlands?

Did you know there are over 350,000 people of Surinamese descent in the Netherlands? Suriname used to be a Dutch colony. Modern-day Suriname is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the Americas made up of Africans, Indians, Indonesians, and more.

When Suriname gained independence in 1975, many Surinamese migrated to the Netherlands...and Dutch culture today is a melting pot of these migrants' cultures, traditions, and stories.

Is This Africa Or South America!? Suriname's Maroons (#109)

Suriname is a very interesting country. Hundreds of years ago, escaped slaves hid in the Amazon rainforest, forming new tribes out of people that came from various parts of Africa. Today, these villages still speak African languages and maintain some of the traditions from the continent. These are the Maroon villages, and there's nothing like them anywhere else. You could say it's the most African place outside of Africa.

Feeling a bit nostalgic for Africa after my travels in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Nigeria, I was happy to visit the place.

The Indonesia Hidden In Suriname ???????????????? (#111)

Suriname, a country like no other. In the 1800's, the Dutch were looking for labor to replace the slaves they brought from Africa. This led to a contract program that brought over thousands of Indonesians from the island of Java. These Javanese-Surinamese would go on to have a big impact on the country's culture and food. Being that their arrival in South America was such a unique situation, I wanted to learn a bit more about their history.

I decided to best way to do this was by visiting a fun food market, and then an abandoned plantation where a bloody uprising had occurred. A typical Sunday afternoon, you could say.

They are some of the world’s least talked about places and yet all three have interesting stories to tell. Stories of sugar and slavery, calypso and cults.

Hindustani in The Netherlands - Anthropology of the Dutch

Varisha Pancham (25) is account manager and was also a DJ in the now closed radio station I am Desi, a radio for Hindustani youngsters. In this Anthropology of the Dutch episode she is interviewed together with her radio colleagues.

De Hokjesman about this episode:
The Hindustani are both Hindus and Muslims who once came to Suriname from India. And then again to the Netherlands. We try to make it more difficult for ourselves as program makers, and it is typical for the Hindustani that they do not want to come to the forefront. They are virtually invisible; little interest has been made about the Hindustani community in the Netherlands. We have tried that now. The result is scenes that are sometimes on the edge of neo-colonial and paternalistic ... But I can do it, I hope.

American Reacts to 150+ SURINAMESE STREET FOOD DISHES in Suriname, South America!!

???????? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:
???? INSTAGRAM:
????TIKTOK:
???? TWITTER:

Back in the summer of 2019, I spent a week and a half eating my way through the South American country of Suriname. Suriname is on South America’s Caribbean coast and is the continent’s smallest country. It also has a fascinating history that has directly affected its unique cuisine.

Ever since roughly 3000 BC, Suriname was home to a number of indigenous tribes, including the Arawak, Carib, Wayana, and Warao. European colonizers arrived in the 16th century, including the Dutch, who brought African slaves to the country during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Many slaves rebelled against the Dutch and escaped into the jungles in Suriname’s interior with the help of the indigenous people.

DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

After slavery was abolished in Suriname in 1863, the Dutch recruited indentured servants from India and Indonesia to work the nation’s plantations. In the 19th and 20th centuries, workers also arrived from China and the Middle East.

The diverse groups of people who came to work in Suriname had a direct affect on the local cuisine, with aspects of their food culture eventually being assimilated into Surinamese cuisine. That’s why the food there has Dutch, West African, Indonesian, Chinese, Amerindian, and Indian influences!

I began my trip through Suriname in the capital city, Paramaribo, and eventually explored the coastal sea turtle haven of Galibi, the isolated Isadou Island, and the dense jungles of Palumeu. Along the way, I ate dozens of Surinamese dishes and I’m excited to share my reactions in this compilation video!
