Description: "Informative dissertation looks at formal and informal repression of Tambu and consequences of this repression for Afro-Antillan cultural life. The repression provoked open and hidden rebellion, and changed the character of Tambu; yet Tambu was never completely eliminated on Curaçao. Includes one-page, poorly translated summaries in English and also Papiamentu. Careful editing would have enhanced the readability of this study"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Notes: Summary in English and Papiamento.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [338-362]).
