Dew Baboeram

Dew Baboeram, known by his pseudonym Sandew Hira, is a prominent Surinamese historian whose recent work critiques traditional narratives in Surinamese history. He emphasizes the importance of theoretical frameworks in historiography, arguing that history is often presented without the necessary analytical depth. His latest book, 'Van Priary tot en met De Kom', reflects over forty years of research and intellectual evolution, moving from a strictly Marxist perspective to a broader decolonial approach, aiming to highlight the complexities of Suriname's past.
