In 1837 worden Kwasi en Kwame, twee Afrikaanse prinsjes, aan koning Willem I geschonken als onderpand voor de illegale slavenhandel van de Nederlandse regering. In Delft worden de zwarte jongens als Hollanders opgevoed. Terwijl Kwasi zich uit alle macht aanpast en een echte Nederlander wil worden, vecht Kwame om zijn Afrikaanse identiteit te behouden en op een dag te kunnen terugkeren naar zijn volk. Jaren later, aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw, kijkt de bejaarde prins Kwasi Boachi vanaf zijn Javaanse theeplantage terug op hun buitengewone levens. Pas dan ontdekt hij het complot waarmee de Nederlandse regering zijn Indische carrière heeft gedwarsboomd. De zwarte met het witte hart is een van de hoogtepunten uit de naoorlogse Nederlandse literatuur en betekende de definitieve doorbraak van Arthur Japin. Er zijn meer dan 350.000 exemplaren van verkocht.

In 1837, two young African princes arrive at the court of Willem I in the Netherlands. They have been given to the Dutch by the King of the Ashanti as surety in a deal over illegal slave trading. The two boys think they have been sent to acquire a European education, but time passes. They forget their native language and become exiles. Treated as curiosities by white people, their friendship suffers and their paths diverge. Years later, as the twentieth century dawns, the elderly Kwasi, now owner of a coffee plantation in Java, sits down to write his autobiography. Based on a true story, The Two Hearts of Kwasi Boachi is both a brilliant piece of storytelling and a moving portrayal of the search for identity and belonging.

“The first ten years of my life I was not black.” Thus begins this startlingly eloquent and beautiful tale based on the true story of Kwasi Boachi, a 19th- century African prince who was sent with his cousin, Kwame, to be raised in Holland as a guest of the royal family. Narrated by Kwasi himself, the story movingly portrays the perplexing dichotomy of the cousins' situation: black men of royal ancestry, they are subject to insidious bigotry even as they enjoy status among Europe’s highest echelons. As their lives wind down different paths–Kwame back to Africa where he enlists in the Dutch army, Kwasi to an Indonesian coffee plantation where success remains mysteriously elusive–they become aware of a terrible truth that lies at the heart of their experiences. Vivid, subtle, poignant and profound, The Two Hearts of Kwasi Boachi is an exquisite masterpiece of story and craft, a heartrending work that places Arthur Japin on a shelf that includes Joseph Conrad, J.M. Coetzee, Kazuo Ishiguro and Nadine Gordimer.

Anton de Kom’s We Slaves of Suriname is a literary masterpiece as well as a fierce indictment of racism and colonialism. In this classic book, published here in English for the first time, the Surinamese writer and resistance leader recounts the history of his homeland, from the first settlements by Europeans in search of gold through the era of the slave trade and the period of Dutch colonial rule, when the old slave mentality persisted, long after slavery had been formally abolished. 159 years after the abolition of slavery in Suriname and 88 years after its initial publication, We Slaves of Suriname has lost none of its brilliance and power.
