Anton de Kom's anticolonial movement

The anticolonial movement of the Surinamese writer Anton de Kom (1898–1945), whose meetings in Paramaribo in 1933 drew thousands of workers before he was arrested and deported to the Netherlands. There, close to the Dutch communist movement, he published Wij slaven van Suriname (1934), the founding indictment of Dutch colonialism in Suriname; he died in a Nazi camp in 1945 after joining the resistance.
