Thank you for these maps. Surinamese election results are so interesting. For a group to only have 37% of the population I'm surprised the Afro-Surinamese hold so much political power compared to the Indian or Javanese. There are three parties representing Afro-Surinamese and despite one of the parties being quite underrepresented they still are represented quite well and now the Maroons are in power.
I wish I did know more about the distinctions between the Maroons and other Afro-Surinamese in terms of socioeconomic status. For a group of freed / escaped slaves usually they would be considered more "privileged," but I'm not sure if that's the perception in Suriname.
