Dinsdag 24 november is mijn onderzoeksvoorstel "**Plant use of the Motherland: Linking West African and Afro-Caribbean Ethnobotany**" gehonoreerd binnen de NWO Vernieuwingsimpuls. Met deze Vidi subsidie zal ik met twee promovendi vijf jaar onderzoek gaan doen in Suriname, Ghana, Benin en Gabon en een vergelijking maken tussen medicinaal en magisch plantgebruik bij de Surinaamse Marrons en de landen van hun Afrikaanse voorouders.

//Dr. T.R. (Tinde) van Andel (v) 16-05-1967, UL - Nationaal Herbarium// Afrikaanse slaven in Suriname moesten in korte tijd planten uit een onbekend oerwoud leren kennen om te kunnen overleven. Dit onderzoekt bekijkt welke medicinale en magische planten de Afro-Surinamers van de Indianen hebben geleerd en welke ze herkenden uit Ghana, Bénin en Gabon (West-Afrika).
