  • Antigua and Barbuda an Annotated Critical Bibliography
    Antigua and Barbuda an annotated critical bibliography by Riva Berleant-Schiller and Susan Lowes, with Milton Benjamin Volume 182 of the World Bibliographical Series 1995 Clio Press ABC Clio, Ltd. (Oxford, England; Santa Barbara, California; Denver, Colorado) Abstract: Antigua and Barbuda, two islands of Leeward Island group in the eastern Caribbean, together make up a single independent state. The union is an uneasy one, for their relationship has always been ambiguous and their differences in history and economy greater than their similarities. Barbuda was forced unwillingly into the union and it is fair to say that Barbudan fears of subordination and exploitation under an Antiguan central government have been realized. Barbuda is a flat, dry limestone island. Its economy was never dominated by plantation agriculture. Instead, its inhabitants raised food and livestock for their own use and for provisioning the Antigua plantations of the island's lessees, the Codrington family. After the end of slavery, Barbudans resisted attempts to introduce commercial agriculture and stock-rearing on the island. They maintained a subsistence and small cash economy based on shifting cultivation, fishing, livestock, and charcoal-making, and carried it out under a commons system that gave equal rights to land to all Barbudans. Antigua, by contrast, was dominated by a sugar plantation economy that persisted after slave emancipation into the twentieth century. Its economy and goals are now shaped by the kind of high-impact tourism development that includes gambling casinos and luxury hotels. The Antiguan government values Barbuda primarily for its sparsely populated lands and comparatively empty beaches. This bibliography is the only comprehensive reference book available for locating information about Antigua and Barbuda.

The city was gay with flags, and crowds lined the streets lead­ ing to the waterside where a large concourse had assembled to witness the launching of the iron screw steamer, Great Britain, by the Prince Consort. A public holiday had been proclaimed, and there was disappointment when, the ship having been duly launched, it was found that the dock gates through which she was to pass were too small to allow her exit.

Technological Adaptation in a Global Conflict: The British Army and Communications beyond the Western Front, 1914-1918 Brian N. Hall Abstract This article seeks to contribute to recent scholarly analysis of the British Army’s military performance and its leadership’s willingness and ability to adapt during the First World War by examining a maligned, though vital, aspect of its command and control system, communications. It offers a comparative assessment of the development and contribution of communications to British operations beyond the Western Front and concludes that the army was, on the whole, remarkably successful at adapting its communications system to suit the demands of fighting a modern, global conflict. As the centenary of the First World War approaches, scholarly debate concerning the military performance of the British Army on the Western Front shows little sign of abating.1 One strand of the historiography that has come under particular scrutiny in recent years is the “learning curve” hypothesis.

  • Seamen and the Law: an Examination of the Impact of Legislation on the British Merchant Seaman's Lot, 1588-1918
    SEAMEN AND THE LAW: AN EXAMINATION OF THE IMPACT OF LEGISLATION ON THE BRITISH MERCHANT SEAMAN'S LOT, 1588-1918 A PhD thesis submitted by Conrad Hepworth Dixon University College London 1981 2 ABS TRACT The aims of this study were to determine the general outline over three centuries of variations in the sailors' lot; to establish the linkage with the legis- lative process, and to ascertain what part Parliament, the unions and the executive had played in making and interpreting the law. It was found that the years 1838- 51, 1867-83 and 1905-18 were periods when significant advance occurred, with the earlier and intervening years forming plateaux where little change took place. The legal provision in respect of seamen was of three types - Admiralty-inspired, trade-enhancing and reformist - with the first two categories predominating. The Admiralty consistently attempted to treat merchant seamen as a secondary source of manpower down to the end of the nineteenth-century, while trade interests sought to have the men subject to strict disciplinary requirements and subscribe to a state-supervised contract of employment that stabilised variable costs. Unions were unable to influence the legislative process to any great extent because they had little real power until the large steam vessel provided a background to employment similar to that in large units of enterprise ashore, while the Board of Trade was dominated by anti-interventionists until 1890 and only slowly moved in support of the reformers. The arguments of Keir and MacDonagh that the Board was an example of dynamic expansion in executive capacity are refuted, with the Parris thesis that it responded to changes in society seeming more correct, Seamen were 3 the most legislated-for body of workers, but voluminous legislation often failed to touch upon essentials.
