Book excerpt: Everything You Didn't Know About the Bahamas Flag! You may be shocked at how much is not known about the Bahamian flag. Sure, we know the colours, or do we?. We know what they mean, or do we? Do you know that it takes an announcement from Government House to proclaim national mourning and the time to fly Flag at half-mast? Do we know when to hoist and lower the Flag? This information and more are crammed into this fascinating new book, a must-have for anyone is interested in flags, and in particular, the proper protocol for displaying flags. An in-depth presentation is done for the display such as use on land and sea of The National Flag of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, along with the other Official Flags. There's a glossary that would make you a Scrabble star, terms like fimbriation, a narrow edging or border on a flag to separate the two other colours. As for the term fly, when it comes to flag talk, it's the half or edge furthest away from the flagpole. Regarding the right position for flying the Bahamian flag, it should be to the observer's left and before all other flags. This book is an excellent resource for every Bahamian and anyone interested in The Bahamas. May you enjoy the information presented herein. Cheryl C. Strachan has matriculated at College of The Bahamas and Nova Southeastern University. She got the idea for the book when, as a businesswoman, she could not find Bahamas Flag protocol information anywhere. Since 1993 she has spent years researching flag etiquette and protocol. What started out as a desire to obtain information, became a passion, a business and now this book. This book is sanctioned by the Ministry of National Security, Commonwealth of The Bahamas.

Download or read book A History of the Bahamian People written by Michael Craton and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work concludes the important and monumental undertaking of Islanders in the Stream: A History of the Bahamian People, creating the most thorough and comprehensive history yet written of a Caribbean country and its people. In the first volume Michael Craton and Gail Saunders traced the developments of a unique archipelagic nation from aboriginal times to the period just before emancipation. This long-awaited second volume offers a description and interpretation of the social developments of the Bahamas in the years from 1830 to the present. Volume Two divides this period into three chronological sections, dealing first with adjustments to emancipation by former masters and former slaves between 1834 and 1900, followed by a study of the slow process of modernization between 1900 and 1973 that combines a systematic study of the stimulus of social change, a candid examination of current problems, and a penetrating but sympathetic analysis of what makes the Bahamas and Bahamians distinctive in the world. This work is an eminent product of the New Social History, intended for Bahamians, others interested in the Bahamas, and scholars alike. It skillfully interweaves generalizations and regional comparisons with particular examples, drawn from travelers' accounts, autobiographies, private letters, and the imaginative reconstruction of official dispatches and newspaper reports. Lavishly illustrated with contemporary photographs and original maps, it stands as a model for forthcoming histories of similar small ex-colonial nations in the region.
