Company They Kept
ISBN: 9780807854068 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In the late nineteenth century, migrants from Jamaica, Colombia, Barbados, and beyond poured into Caribbean Central America, building railroads, digging canals, selling meals, and farming homesteads. On the rain-forested shores of Costa Rica, U.S. entrepreneurs and others established vast banana plantations. Over the next half-century, short-lived export booms drew tens of thousands of migrants to the region. In Port Limon, birthplace of the United Fruit Company, a single building might house a Russian seamstress, a Martinican madam, a Cuban doctor, and a Chinese barkeep--together with...

Radical Moves: Caribbean Migrants and the Politics of Race in the Jazz Age
ISBN: 9780807872857 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In the generations after emancipation, hundreds of thousands of African-descended working-class men and women left their homes in the British Caribbean to seek opportunity abroad: in the goldfields of Venezuela and the cane fields of Cuba, the canal construction in Panama, and the bustling city streets of Brooklyn. But in the 1920s and 1930s, racist nativism and a brutal cascade of antiblack immigration laws swept the hemisphere. Facing borders and barriers as never before, Afro-Caribbean migrants rethought allegiances of race, class, and empire. In Radical Moves, Lara Putnam takes...

Caribbean Military Encounters
ISBN: 9781137590589 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book provides a much-needed study of the lived experience of militarization in the Caribbean from 1914 to the present. It offers an alternative to policy and security studies by drawing on the perspectives of literary and cultural studies, history, anthropology, ethnography, music, and visual art. Rather than opposing or defending militarization per se, this book focuses attention on how Caribbean people negotiate militarization in their everyday lives. The volume explores topics such as the US occupation of Haiti; British West Indians in World War I; the British naval invasion of...

Honor, Status, and Law in Modern Latin America
ISBN: 9780822335757 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This collection brings together recent scholarship that examines how understandings of honor changed in Latin America between political independence in the early nineteenth century and the rise of nationalist challenges to liberalism in the 1930s. These rich historical case studies reveal the uneven processes through which ideas of honor and status came to depend more on achievements such as education and employment and less on the birthright privileges that were the mainstays of honor during the colonial period. Whether considering court battles over lost virginity or police conflicts with...
