Abstract
Albert Helman, pseudonym of Surinamese Lou Lichtveld (1903-1996), was a prominent writer of the Dutch-Caribbean. Around 1960 he decided to opt for a job as a diplomat at the Netherlands embassy in Washington and the United Nations in New York. Since his native country, Suriname, was still a part of the Netherlands, it could not lead its own foreign policy. Lichtveld advised the government in Suriname, but worked along the lines of the Foreign Department of The Netherlands in The Hague. This position was extremely complicated: we see him struggling with his loyalties when he has to present the Dutch standpoint in the UN in the case of the apartheid-policy in South-Africa.
Albert Helman,苏里南人Lou Lichtveld的笔名(1903-1996),荷属加勒比地区著名作家。1960年左右,他决定选择在荷兰驻华盛顿大使馆和纽约联合国担任外交官。由于他的祖国苏里南仍然是荷兰的一部分,它无法主导自己的外交政策。利希特维尔德为苏里南政府提供建议,但他的工作方式与海牙的荷兰外交部一致。这一立场极其复杂:我们看到,当他必须在联合国就南非种族隔离政策问题上提出荷兰的立场时,他在自己的忠诚问题上挣扎。
