Who was the Surinamese activist, writer and resistance fighter Anton de Kom (1898 - 1945) and what can we learn from him today? Why did he not only campaign for Surinamese workers, but also in the Netherlands for the Indonesian student movement and ultimately against fascism in World War II? Come hear literary scholar Thalia Ostendorf and philosopher Mathijs van de Sande discuss the ideas of Anton de Kom, his radical solidarity thinking and the question of whether De Kom's activism is less applicable today, or more topical than ever.
