Why Is Bonno Thoden van Velzen Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Hendrik Ulbo Eric "Bonno" Thoden van Velzen was a Dutch anthropologist, Surinamist and Africanist. Life Thoden van Velzen was born on 5 April 1933 in Vlissingen. His father was a coxswain in the merchant navy and teacher at the Rijksnormaalschool in the city of Deventer. His ancestors are Protestant pastors from the neighbourhood of Emden in East-Frisia, which is now part of the German federal state of Lower Saxony. In the Second World War he moved together with his parents and siblings to Utrecht because of the German Heer declaring the city of Vlissingen and its surrounds as Sperrgebiet. He finished his secondary school in the Indonesian city of Batavia and later in Vlissingen. After three years of military service, he began his study of sociology at the University of Amsterdam in 1955. During his study he met his life partner Ineke van Wetering, with whom he set off to Suriname for graduate studies at the Maroon society after his first graduation. He has been in field for the first time from May 1961 to November 1962, studying the Ndyuka, the biggest group of the Maroons.
