In this essay I will compare and contrast the approaches and objectives of Richard and Sally Price and S. Allen Counter and David Evens on the topic of the Maroon arts of Suriname. I will explain how they present their results. And tell me what I think they would say is the most important discovery or confirmation. After all this is done, I will continue art-historical research in the same area. The main focus of my research would be why someone would be interested in learning more about the art of this particular region. Calabash Maroon Arts would be the art form I would research (relying on the authors' experiences), providing a brief description of the research I would undertake. I will provide information on how I got the much needed information about this art form. Also stating if I spoke to anyone and why. Finally, I describe what questions I would like answered, if any. First, I would like to talk about the approach that Sally and Richard Price took when conducting their research on the Maroon arts of Suriname. I believe Pricefs' approach was to respond to what they called what is arguably the most difficult, politically charged, and hotly debated aspect of studying these arts: their deep historical-cultural roots. The Pricefs went to Suriname to research these archaeological people to find out whether these brown works of art like the pumpkin bowls were truly of African origin, or whether they have other sources that provided an influence on them that goes far beyond Africa. There has been a reemergence in the Maroon arts that is inexplicable to many scholars who have studied them. The Prices call it a “unique balance of continuity in change.” What this term means is that they feel that in those times there was a lack of documentation and that the arts were always present and there were no disappearing acts. Counter and Evens went to Suriname to find Africa. They believe that Africa and the Maroons of Suriname have a direct connection beyond being of African descent in regards to the arts. I believe both Pricefs and Counter and Evens had the same goals in mind, which was to find answers. To discover the unknown of these maroon arts, but their intentions were totally different. As I stated before, Counter and Evens wanted to find Africa.
