What is the movement of Suriname's ideas?

Answer 1

Within the country's coastal and plain areas as well as back and forth among the Caribbean islands is the way in which Suriname's ideas move.

Specifically, Suriname is isolated from the rest of South America by its distinct culture and by geography. Those who cross the country's western, southern and eastern borders soon find themselves within Suriname's vast rain forest interior. As a result, ideas circulate most freely within the country's more accessible pockets of development along the coast and in the plains and grasslands of Suriname's north. Ideas benefit from the Dutch, indigenous, south and southeast Asian, and West Africa composite that characterizes Suriname's cultural unity through respect for cultural diversity. But movements are limited largely to back and forth within Suriname's northern areas and to back and forth among the nearby Caribbean islands.
