Download or read book Plantation Crisis written by Jayaseelan Raj and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the collapse of India’s tea industry mean for Dalit workers who have lived, worked and died on the plantations since the colonial era? Plantation Crisis offers a complex understanding of how processes of social and political alienation unfold in moments of economic rupture. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in the Peermade and Munnar tea belts, Jayaseelan Raj – himself a product of the plantation system – offers a unique and richly detailed analysis of the profound, multi-dimensional sense of crisis felt by those who are at the bottom of global plantation capitalism and caste hierarchy. Tea production in India accounts for 25 per cent of global output. The colonial era planation system – and its two million strong workforce – has, since the mid-1990s, faced a series of ruptures due to neoliberal economic globalisation. In the South Indian state of Kerala, otherwise known for its labour-centric development initiatives, the Tamil speaking Dalit workforce, whose ancestors were brought to the plantations in the 19th century, are at the forefront of this crisis, which has profound impacts on their social identity and economic wellbeing. Out of the colonial history of racial capitalism and indentured migration, Plantation Crisis opens our eyes to the collapse of the plantation system and the rupturing of Dalit lives in India's tea belt.

Book excerpt: For the first time in human history, in recent years HIMALAYAN BIODIVERSITY as a whole is endangered and more than 10% species of the flowering plants of this region are threatened due to modern man’s intervention with the environment in the name of development, industrialization, urbanization, rehabilitation etc. In addition to this, to meet the increasing demand of the modern civilized population of the plains for raw plant materials a large number of forest species are over exploited and many of them are now threatened. Secondly, increasing human population with time in the Himalayan hills and also the increasing population of their cattle and goats have also exerted great biotic pressure, which is increasing day by day on the forest cover, and this has further strengthen the threat. Although WESTERN HIMALAYAN BIODIVERSITY, as a whole, is threatened, DOON VALLEY, one of the largest valley in the world, is facing the worst situation. This valley, due to its natural boundaries within which it is enclosed – the Himalayan mountains (Mussoorie hills) in the north and Siwalik hills in the south, which are always in view, and on its two sides being bounded by two most important and holy rivers Ganga (Ganges) and Jamuna (Yamuna), is considered among the most beautiful valleys in the world. Moreover, it is also famous from prehistoric days for its natural heritage and valuable plant wealth with a very rich and diversified flora with more than 1600 species of the flowering plants, which include both tropical and temperate elements. The species are significant from the scientific, cultural, and utilization viewpoints as they grow in a wide range of habitats (marshes, swamps, humid shady places and on extremely dry parts of steep ridges and hills), which provide great ecological diversity. In brief, a very few areas in India can claim to have such a diversified range of plants of indigenous and exotic origin as Dehradun, Saharanpur-Siwaliks and Mussoorie hills (Western Himalayas). But today, unfortunately, biodiversity of this region of Western Himalaya as a whole is endangered; or in other words, a biodiversity crisis has developed in last few decades because in past 40 years an appreciable part of Doon Valley land has been cleaned for rehabilitation, urbanization and industrialization, and a large number of species have also been extracted in most unplanned manner resulting in a sudden fall in their population. Thus some time back, the seriousness of the problem forced the environmentalists to declare this region as ecological fragile. Thus realizing the need of time, in past 3-4 decades HIMALAYAN BIODIVERSITY has been the subject of much discussion in seminars and conferences which gave birth to voluminous writings with a common goal of three points (i) Deteriorating situation of Himalaya and the disappearing species, (ii) Conserve/Protect them, and (iii) Suggestion on conservation methods. Unfortunately, all these discussions and suggestions on plant diversity remained on paper. So far, concerted practical attempts have not been made in any part of Western Himalayas to conserve the endemic, endangered and non-commercial rare plant species in situ and ex situ. Therefore, many species have reached in the danger zone of extinction or have disappeared from the flora of the region. Thus realizing the urgent need of time, the work to conserve some non-commercial forest species, was taken up some time back (1997-2001), with the financial assistance provided by G. B. Pant Institute of Himalayan Environment and Development, Kosi-Katarmal, Almora. As far as I am aware, this was the first work of its kind on Western Himalayan biodiversity, which aimed to conserve, in real sense, in situ as well as ex situ (with similar ecological conditions) three non-commercial but endangered, and rare plant species (Pittosporum eriocarpum Royle, Eremostachys superba Royle ex Benth., and Catamixis baccharoides Thoms.) of Doon Valley, Saharanpur-Siwaliks and lower Mussoorie hills. Eremostachys superba Royle ex Benth., which is detailed here, is endemic in Siwaliks; unfortunate, now less than 50 plants are left in its actual type locality Mohand Pass, Siwaliks (Uttarakhand).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basis of this discipline must consist in accustoming your negroes to an absolute submission to orders; for if you suffer them to disobey in one instance, they will do so in another; and thus an independence of spirit will be acquired, that will demand repeated punishment to suppress it, and to re-establish your relaxed authority. You should, therefore, lay it down as a rule, never to suffer your commands to be disputed; and, at the same time, you should take care to give none but what are reasonable and proper; for negroes are penetrating enough into the foibles of their masters. If you have any, you should conceal them with a good opinion of your temper and judgment. -from I: "Plantation Management" American historian ULRICH BONNELL PHILLIPS (1877-1934) made a career of studying slavery and the economics of the American South through the 19th century, and he was often criticized by his successors for his emphasis on painting slave masters and plantation owners in a positive light. But even Phillips' detractors acknowledge the valuable work he did in bringing to light the priceless original source material from which we can better understand the period. In this two-volume work, first published in 1909, Phillips creates a portrait of the economic life of the South drawn from the details and minutiae found in legal contracts, personal letters and diaries, newspaper articles and editorials, advertisements, plantation records, court records, warrants and affidavits, public notices, city ordinances, and other hard-to-find documents. From the everyday realities of the usage of slave labor to the working conditions of poor whites to the daily routines and management of plantations, what emerges is a unique, on-the-ground perspective of the slaveholding era. Excepts from the table of contents of Volume I: "Records of a rice plantation" "Management of scattered plantations; Georgia 1844-1849" "Diary of work on a sea-island cotton plantation" "Upland cotton methods" "Uncertainty of returns in tobacco" "Loses by disease and accidents among the slaves" "Bad seasons and slave runaways" "An overseer's testimonial" "The routine problems and policies of an efficient overseer" "Classes and conditions of white servants" "Indented labor useless on a disturbed frontier" "Convict transportation, vicissitudes"
