summary

A member of a Portuguese-Jewish family long resident in Suriname, Julius de Aaron Bueno Bibaz was a high-school principal who sought to enfranchise the non-white population of Suriname, encouraging their children to attend school. This rare text is one of the first books produced for the indigenous population about their own country. For more, see https://bukubooks.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/bibaz/.
