ISBN: 9789766404574 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

West Indians provided the bulk of the workforce for the construction of the Panama Railroad and the Panama Canal, and between 1850 and...

Caribbean Globalizations, 1492 to the Present Day
ISBN: 9781781381519 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Caribbean Globalizations explores the relations between globalization and the Caribbean since 1492, when Columbus first arrived in the region, to the present day.

It argues that the region has long been - and remains - a theatre of conflict between, as well as a site of emergence for, different forms of globalization. It thereby offers the opportunity to focus research and debate across the...
