Описание: In 1833, the abolition of slavery in the British Empire led to the import of exploited South Asian indentured workers in the Caribbean under extreme oppression. Dave Ramsaran and Linden F. Lewis concentrate on the Indian descendants' processes of mixing, assimilating, and adapting while trying desperately to hold on to that which marks a group of people as distinct.In some ways, the lived experience of the Indian community in Guyana and Trinidad represents a cultural contradiction of belonging and non-belonging. In other parts of the Caribbean, people of Indian descent seem so absorbed by the more dominant African culture and through intermarriage that Indo-Caribbean heritage seems less central.In this collaboration based on focus groups, in-depth interviews, and observation, sociologists Ramsaran and Lewis lay out a context within which to develop a broader view of Indians in Guyana and Trinidad, a numerical majority in both countries. They address issues of race and ethnicity but move beyond these familiar aspects to track such factors as ritual, gender, family, and daily life. Ramsaran and Lewis gauge not only an unrelenting process of assimilative creolization on these descendants of India, but also the resilience of this culture in the face of modernization and globalization.

Описание: In the Fires of Hope: Trinidad & Tobago at 50 is the first in a 2-volume series, which is the outcome of conference papers, lectures and special presentations held at The University of the West Indies, St Augustine campus to celebrate Trinidad and Tobago’s 50th anniversary of independence.The centrepiece of this first volume are the “Conversations” in which former Prime Minister ANR Robinson and Basdeo Panday are engaged by an audience in speaking freely about their respective tenures in office during critical periods of Trinidad and Tobago’s recent history, as well as their vision for the country going into the future. Together, these two lively conversations make up the first part of the volume.Part Two begins with recommendations for constitutional change in Trinidad and Tobago but is comprised predominantly of papers on the economy, with a special focus on the energy sector. In varying ways, the authors depict the influence of this sector as both a blessing and a curse – on the one hand it accounts for the bulk of the country’s exports, foreign exchange and GDP while, on the other, it is an impediment to diversification and the potential for environmental degradation. At the same time, they offer recommendations for policy changes that can reap positive social and economic benefits for the country while making Trinidad and Tobago a model nation for energy-based sustainable development in the 21st century.Tobago comes in for special attention. Its future development is presented as an opportunity to implement the kinds of policy interventions to avoid some of the errors of the past, in particular, the variant called “Dutch Disease” suffered to some extent by Trinidad and Tobago.Sociocultural issues are also covered. The urban district of Woodbrook, home to many who helped to shape the development of modern Trinidad, is presented in a fascinating case study as the site of an emergent “Trinidadian” nationalism, which is probably representative of the country as a whole.Together, the presentations in this volume make a significant addition to the body of literature that illuminates Trinidad and Tobago society’s understanding of itself and underscores the UWI’s commitment to national development.

Описание: THE TWENTY ETUDES FOR PIANO were composed during the years from 1991 to 2012. Their final configuration into Book 1 and Book 2 was determined by the music itself in the course of its composition.
Book 1 (Etudes 1-10) had a twin objective - to explore a variety of tempi, textures and piano techniques. At the same time it was meant to serve as a pedagogical tool by which I would improve my piano playing. In these two ways, Book 1 succeeded very well. I learned a great deal about the piano and in the course of learning the music, I became a better player.
New projects came along and interrupted the work on the Etudes for several years. Perhaps for that reason, when I took up work with the Etudes again I found the music was following a new path. Though I had settled questions of piano technique for myself in Book 1, the music in Book 2 quickly began to suggest a series of new adventures in harmony and structure.
In this way, Books 1 and 2, taken together, suggest a real trajectory that includes a broad range of music and technical ideas.
In the end, the Etudes are meant to be appreciated not only by the general listener, but especially by those who have the ability and patience to learn, play and perform the music themselves.

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.
This book was created for the modern American looking to expand their knowledge on the multitude of manifestations of caste influence on political, economic, and social life from historical events to present day narratives. All of the information, research, and anecdotes contained in this book belong to Isabel Wilkerson, the author of Caste: The Origins of our Discontents. This novel serves to streamline the narrative and theories presented by Wilkerson into more digestible knowledge for the average American. While none of the ideas are original, all are paraphrased from the research and a multitude of stories that were used in constructing this powerful foundation for understanding the origin and perpetuation of caste in America. This novel explores the many facets of caste, concluding that it is caste and not racism or class that is the institutionalized system that prohibits the progress of racial equality in America.
In this book, you will learn how the creation of caste is completely arbitrary and entirely fabricated and how it became the fabric of American society. You will be able to see the ways in which caste was perpetuated in the United States and the way in which our caste system was influenced by the caste systems of Germany and India. You will conclude this novel with the ability to scrutinize the larger caste system at work in addition to being able to see in which ways you perpetuate caste in your own life, with the hopes that all those who read this book will work to dismantle it.

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: Fr. Anthony de Verteuil, a well-known author about Trinidad's history with a large number of titles published over several decades, wrote this charming and interesting book about "Down the Islands". The small and tiny mountaintops that peep out of the ocean between Trinidad's westernmost tip and Venezuela's Paria peninsula have traditionally been the place for weekend homes of many of the country's old families, and generations of children virtually grew up there, learning about the sea and about boats. But there is more to the history of the Western Isles: historical battles were fought between them, pirates hid their loot there in sheltered coves, and the largest centipedes ever beheld by mankind live in their undergrowth
