Download or read book Globalization and Neoliberalism written by Thomas Klak and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do recent trends toward globalization affect the Caribbean, a region whose suppliers, production, markets, and politics have been globalized for centuries? What is the status of neoliberal development policy in the Caribbean, where the rewards for belt tightening and economic opening have been slow in coming? How have Caribbean policymakers and citizens responded to and resisted the pressures to conform to the new rules of the global economy? By examining these questions through the lens of political economy, this volume explores the interaction among development, trade, foreign policy, the environment, tourism, gender relations, and migration. With its global implications, this book will be invaluable for students and scholars from all disciplines who are concerned with the impact of development and globalization.

Download or read book Centring the Periphery written by Patrick L. Baker and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1994 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick Baker's post-modern approach uses ideas from chaos theory and world systems theory to interpret the prehistory and history of Dominica. During its prehistory Dominica served as an occasional stepping-stone for small-scale, independent foraging and horticultural peoples migrating up the Antillean arc to the larger islands in the north. Its discovery by Europeans brought it into a social and economic constellation that was constructed and orchestrated largely from the metropolitan centre. Centring the Periphery is the unfolding story of the struggle of the Dominican people to create and order a world that is controlled from outside.
Download or read book Women and Change in the Caribbean written by Janet Momsen and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1993-09-22 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent discussion of postmodern culture describes a movement from center to periphery, privileging cultures that were formerly marginalized. Women and Change in the Caribbean, a study of women marginalized by both gender and race in a region such as the Caribbean—itself marginalized in global terms—attempts to extract insights relevant both within and beyond geographical confines. This volume offers a feminist interpretation of a multicultural society emerging from colonialism and in the process of change and restructuring. The nineteen chapters include case studies of fifteen different Caribbean territories including Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Grenada, and Guyana. The book is divided into two sections: the first looks at women's status and gender relations in the private and public spheres; the second looks at women's economic activity. Taking a broad pan-Caribbean comparative view contributors discuss territories with American, British, Dutch, Danish, French, and Spanish colonial traditions and current political links. The contributors come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds including agriculture, anthropology, economics, geography, history, sociology, and women's studies.

Download or read book The Haunting Past written by Alvin O. Thompson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2015. This book places in firm historical perspective the roots of Caribbean dependency, highlighting the ways in which the region has been and continues to be a pawn in Great Power politics and economics. The past is both haunting and daunting, seriously hampering the region's capacity to pursue an autonomous path. The author develops his argument by focusing on how politics, economics and race have shaped Caribbean history and contemporary life. Discussions and analysis include examples from the Anglophone, Spanish, French and Dutch speaking Caribbean islands and countries. Thompson also attempts to provide prescriptions that would free the region from the shackles of the past and place the countries on the path to independence.
