Content: Plantations and slaves formed the core of Surinamese society for more than two centuries. Surinamese contrast, based on an almost ten-year study of Dutch, Surinamese and English archival material on several hundred plantations, offers the most comprehensive and in-depth study of this duality. The study paints a vivid and detailed picture of Surinamese society in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is shown that there were several plantation sectors - coffee, sugar and cotton - that were structurally different from each other and each had its own history. It also extensively discusses the fight against the water, which aggravated life on most Surinamese plantations. For most of the Surinamese population, the plantation was not only a place of work but also a place of residence. That is why not only the work, but also the living environment of the plantation residents is described. It is obvious that most attention is paid to the way of life and the struggle for existence of the slaves: they made up the vast majority of the population and were tied to the plantations from generation to generation. Surinamese contrast furthermore shows that Surinamese society was constantly changing and changing. Robbery and survival characterized the Surinamese plantation society, in a precarious equilibrium. The extent to which Suriname deviated from the general Caribbean pattern in this and in other respects becomes clear from the many comparisons made with other plantation colonies in the region.

Content: Plantages en slaven vormden meer dan twee eeuwen de kern van de Surinaamse maatschappij. Surinaams contrast biedt op basis van een bijna tienjarig onderzoek van Nederlands, Surinaams en Engels archiefmateriaal over enkele honderden plantages de meest uitvoerige en diepgaande studie over deze tweeëenheid. De studie schetst een levendig en gedetailleerd beeld van de Surinaamse samenleving in de achttiende en negentiende eeuw. Aangetoond wordt dat er meerdere plantagesectoren waren- koffie, suiker en katoen-die structureel van elkaar verschilden en ieder een geheel eigen geschiedenis hebben gekend. Ook wordt uitvoerig stilgestaan bij de strijd tegen het water die het leven op de meeste Surinaamse plantages verzwaarde. Voor het grootste deel van de Surinaamse bevolking was de plantage behalve werk- ook woonplaats. Daarom wordt niet alleen de arbeid, maar ook de leefwereld van de plantagebewoners beschreven. Dat daarbij de meeste aandacht uitgaat naar de levenswijze en bestaansstrijd van de slaven ligt voor de hand: zij vormden nu eenmaal de overgrote meerderheid van de bevolking en waren van generatie op generatie gebonden aan de plantages. Surinaams contrast toont voorts aan dat de Surinaamse samenleving voortdurend in beweging was en veranderde. Roofbouw en overleven kenmerkten, in wankel evenwicht, de Surinaamse plantagemaatschappij. In hoeverre Suriname in dit en in andere opzichten afweek van het algemene Caraïbische patroon wordt duidelijk uit de vele vergelijkingen die worden gemaakt met andere plantagekoloniën in de regio.
