ISBN: 9780824835026 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Powerful labor movements played a critical role in shaping modern Hawaii, beginning in the 1930s, when International Longshore and Warehousemen's Union (ILWU) representatives were dispatched to the islands to organize plantation and dock laborers. They were stunned by the feudal conditions they found in Hawaii, where the majority of workers--Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino in origin--were routinely subjected to repression and racism at the hands of white bosses. The wartime civil liberties crackdown brought union organizing to a halt; but as the war wound down, Hawaii...

During its heyday in the nineteenth century, the African slave trade was fueled by the close relationship of the United States and Brazil. The Deepest South tells the disturbing story of how U.S. nationals - before and after Emancipation -- continued to actively participate in this odious commerce by creating diplomatic, social, and political ties with Brazil, which today has the largest population of African origin outside of Africa itself. Proslavery Americans began to accelerate their presence in Brazil in the 1830s, creating alliances there sometimes friendly, often...

The island revolution also had a profound impact on Haiti's mainland neighbor, the United States.

Gerald Horne's path breaking new work explores the...

This allegiance was far-reaching, from the... While it is well known that more Africans fought on behalf of the British than with the successful patriots of the American Revolution, Gerald Horne r...
