Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Costa Rica, the Gem of American Republics: The Land, Its Resources and Its People Spain, where the rate of foreign commerce is and respectively. The above figures clearly demon strate that the people are extremely active, and that the resources of the country are marvelous to permit them to accomplish so much, when they are in need of so many of the facilities possessed by older nations, such as scientific workmen, railroads, and improved machinery. These would perform in an hduf, the work that now takes the native of Costa Rica one or two days. The traveler will notice at once, the peculiar configuration of Costa Rica with its range of mountains, transversing the country in almost a southeasterly direction, rising abruptly from the level lands on the coast, and forming beautiful pla teaus and extensive valleys at different altitudes, which resem ble the terraces in a garden its large rivers, many of them navigable, and numberless other smaller streams that irrigate every foot of ground, and afford motive powers for all indus tries with abundance of excellent harbors on either ocean. All these circumstances explain perfectly the reason for finding in that country the most varied productions of both. The tropical and temperate zones, at such short distances that a man can, in one day, attend to his wheat field situated in the colder region of the plateau, give his instructions on a coffee plantation located in a warmer and lower position, descend still further to the sugar-cane fincas where he superintends the manufacture of hs sugar, and from thence proceed to hotter and lower lands to inspect the works of cacao gathering, banana planting, rubber culture or mahogany cutting. In this country, where no extremes of heat or cold exist, the most fanciful persons may, in only a few minutes, remove their headquarters to any temperature ranging between 55 and and Whatever locality be their choice, they will always find that the temperature selected will remain almost unchanged through out the length of their visits, though extended for a year.

Download or read book The Business of Empire written by Jason M. Colby and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The link between private corporations and U.S. world power has a much longer history than most people realize. Transnational firms such as the United Fruit Company represent an earlier stage of the economic and cultural globalization now taking place throughout the world. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources in the United States, Great Britain, Costa Rica, and Guatemala, Colby combines "top-down" and "bottom-up" approaches to provide new insight into the role of transnational capital, labor migration, and racial nationalism in shaping U.S. expansion into Central America and the greater Caribbean. The Business of Empire places corporate power and local context at the heart of U.S. imperial history. In the early twentieth century, U.S. influence in Central America came primarily in the form of private enterprise, above all United Fruit. Founded amid the U.S. leap into overseas empire, the company initially depended upon British West Indian laborers. When its black workforce resisted white American authority, the firm adopted a strategy of labor division by recruiting Hispanic migrants. This labor system drew the company into increased conflict with its host nations, as Central American nationalists denounced not only U.S. military interventions in the region but also American employment of black immigrants. By the 1930s, just as Washington renounced military intervention in Latin America, United Fruit pursued its own Good Neighbor Policy, which brought a reduction in its corporate colonial power and a ban on the hiring of black immigrants. The end of the company's system of labor division in turn pointed the way to the transformation of United Fruit as well as the broader U.S. empire.

Download or read book Female Prostitution in Costa Rica written by Anne Hayes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the development of female prostitution in the Pacific port of Puntarenas, Costa Rica during the advanced stage of the coffee exporting economy (1880-1930), at the height of the consolidation of the liberal state. Hayes argues that prostitution in the port differed from that of the coffee producing highlands due to differential economic, social, and political development. In the periphery of Puntarenas, the development of prostitution reflected a less stigmatized view of sexual commerce than that of the highlands, where prostitution, although legal, threatened the tenets of liberal nationalism based on racial homogeneity and family values. Women of the highlands were encouraged to reproduce the nation's "more European" stock of workers and to ensure the legal transference of property through legal church marriages - both part of a design to stabilize the coffee exporting project. By contrast, prostitutes and other working women of Puntarenas, many immigrants from the "less European" populations of neighboring regions and most in concubinage, were freer to do what the law prescribed - register as prostitutes in legitimate trade. Such regional disparities reveal weaknesses in traditional explanations of Costa Rican exceptionalism, which have rested on the premise of cultural homogeneity and have reflected the realities of only one region of the country. The book advances an alternative explanation for the development of the nation's more democratic institutions, situating Costa Rican exceptionalism in the nation's free labor system, of which the labor prostitute in Puntarenas provides an example.
