Описание: Experienced Scholars, historians, and fresh voices in the field of Caribbean history combine in this collected work to create a rich tapestry of the modern history of Trinidad and Tobago. The result is a work of broad-based perspectives as the contributors explore some of the most significant periods, issues and systems of post-emancipation and modern Trinidad and Tobago.The early chapters delve in to the post-emancipation period – enslavement, colonial administration, Indian indentureship – and the early 20th century internal and external developments related to resistance, foreign nationalism and religious incursions which guided the independence experience. Dr Eric Williams, arguably the central character of the independence story, is the subject of special focus as is the evolution of cultural expressions like the mas, calypso and literature. The perennial and seemingly intractable Tobago constitutional issue is also examined with new insights.The work is given a particularly unique appeal by the inclusion of areas that have typically been overlooked in the independence discourse, such as health, the banking and credit union system, teacher education, migrant Trinidadian communities, security systems and the impact of crime.What began as a commemorative volume, emerging out of a 2012 independence jubilee conference hosted by The University of the West Indies St Augustine campus, has been transformed into the most comprehensive text available on the period; filling a long-standing gap in the modern history of Trinidad and Tobago.

Описание: Minding Their Own Business: Five Female Leaders from Trinidad and Tobago is a narrative project that illuminates the historical legacy of entrepreneurship, self-employment, and collective economics within the African diaspora, particularly in the lives of five women leaders of African descent from Trinidad and Tobago, in the Caribbean. By using the financial literacy lens as an analytical tool to interpret these biographies, this book documents the journeys of these independent business women, uncovers the literacy skills they employed, and describes the networking skills that they relied upon personally and professionally. The qualitative data collection methods utilized in this project help to identify lessons that will inform professionals, educators, and business and lay persons about the innovative ways in which teaching and learning take place outside of “formal” business schooling. Information gleaned from this study also serves to broaden traditional understandings of entrepreneurship and economic strategies inherited from majority African descended communities. Additionally, this book illuminates the creative and intellectual modes of learning within the Afrocentric communities that foster successful business practices. Finally, these five successful women pass on to interested learners their methods of modeling, encouraging, and celebrating the means by which independent business people make a positive impact on society.

Описание: William Hardin Burnley (1780-1850) was the largest slave owner in Trinidad during the nineteenth century. Born in the United States to English parents, he settled on the island in 1802 and became one of its most influential citizens and a prominent agent of the British Empire. A central figure among elite and moneyed transnational slave owners, Burnley moved easily through the Atlantic world of the Caribbean, the United States, Great Britain, and Europe, and counted among his friends Alexis de Tocqueville, British politician Joseph Hume, and prime minister William Gladstone.In this first full-length biography of Burnley, Selwyn R. Cudjoe chronicles the life of Trinidad's ""founding father"" and sketches the social and cultural milieu in which he lived. Reexamining the decades of transition from slavery to freedom through the lens of Burnley's life, The Slave Master of Trinidad demonstrates that the legacies of slavery persisted in the new post-emancipation society.
