Book excerpt: "Using meticulous research, the author painstakingly dissects the events that propelled Trinidad and Tobago to the altar." Blueink Reviews"Drawing upon a wealth of obscure historical documents, many of which are presented in whole or in part in the book, Nimblett tries to show how a failed British slave colony was saved from extinction through a merger with a more prosperous and better run neighbor." ForeWord (Clarion Reviews)"Nimblett's book is an example of what historians call 'revisionism' - when a writer tries to argue against the prevailing interpretation of an event and proposes a new narrative instead."

Download or read book Massa Day Done written by Lennie M. Nimblett and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the transition of Trinidad and Tobago from a British crown colony to an independent republic. Divided into two parts, the first sketches the constitutional developments from the Spanish capitulation of Trinidad in 1797 to changes associated with a British crown colony. It describes in greater detail the move, after 1956, towards republicanism and the debate about the 1976 constitution. Part I ends with a review of that debate. The second part examines some of the issues generated by the new constitution and, in particular, looks at problems associated with the president, the Privy Council, and representation.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Trinidad and Tobago written by Rita Pemberton and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As separate entities and later a unified state, the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago boast very unique histories. Initially claimed by the Spanish in 1498, these territories were affected by the imperialist thrusts of various European nations including the French, British and Dutch. The mercantilist infiltrations of these groups, particularly in the 18th century, led to the islands’ belated development as sugar producers and, particularly Trinidad, as a cradle of migration. World War II and the development of the oil and tourism industries in the 20th century transformed the economies, culture and society of these islands. The country has been one of the most important in the region in relation to economic and political leadership and as a centre of cultural development. Historical Dictionary of Trinidad and Tobago contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Trinidad and Tobago.

Book excerpt: What is the role of local Caribbean individuals and communities in creating and perpetuating archaeological heritage? How has archaeological knowledge been integrated into education plans in different countries? This book aims to fill a gap in both archaeological scholarship and popular knowledge by providing a platform for local Caribbean voices to speak about the archaeological heritage of their region. To achieve this, each chapter of the book focuses on identifying and developing strategies that academics, heritage practitioners, and non-scholars from the insular Caribbean can adopt to stimulate a necessary dialogue on how archaeological heritage is used and produced on various academic, political, and social levels.
