content: This subseries contains field recordings made by Green during his dissertation research in Suriname among the Matawai Maroons. Recordings contain ceremonies, interviews, language lessons, radio broadcasts, and songs conducted in English, Sranan, and Matawai. Matawai is an endangered creole dialect of the Saramaccan language, derived from Portuguese, English, and Afro-Caribbean sources.

Recordings are on 22 sound cassettes, 4 audio CDs, and 1 USB flash drive. The USB flash drive (Green Digital Item 03) came in as part of a 2018 accretion to the Edward C. Green papers. It contains digitized files of field audio recordings, likely duplicate files (with different names) from the audio recordings present on the audio cassettes and CDs.

Also included in this subseries is 1 DVD entitled "Swaziland Music and Reed Dance/Suriname," which came to the NAA as part of a 2018 accretion to the Green papers. It is listed at the end of this subseries.
