Jason's review
Alabi's World (Johns Hopkins Studies in Atlantic History and Culture) by Richard Price
Price's discourse concerns the cultural confrontation between the Saramakas and the Colonials of Surniame. There is no thesis or arguement in this book. The author uses post modern methods through out the text to show this cultural confrontation. Price treats the subject matter with a holistic perspective and that is why there is no index to this monograph. The primary sources are awsome!!! Price uses these sources more then his own narrative for the discourse. A good book, since the reader can gain the perspective of how the Saramakas saw themselves and how they were seen.
