The statistics relateto both the continental and intercontinental migrations of citizens and aliens.However, after 1910 the distinction between these two formsof migration cannot be exactly drawn.The majority of aliens arrivefrom or proceed to overseas countries, while the contrary is the case for citizens.

  • Historical and Contemporary Use of Natural Stones in the French West Indies
    Article Historical and Contemporary Use of Natural Stones in the French West Indies. Conservation Aspects and Practices Yves Mazabraud * Géosciences Montpellier, Université des Antilles, Université de Montpellier, CNRS, Morne Ferret, BP517, 97178 Les Abymes, France; [email protected]; Tel.: +590-590-21-36-15 Received: 20 June 2019; Accepted: 19 August 2019; Published: 22 August 2019 Abstract: The French West Indies (F.W.I.), in the Eastern Caribbean, are part of a biodiversity hotspot and an archipelago of very rich geology. In this specific natural environment, the abundance or the lack of various natural resources has influenced society since the pre-Columbian era. The limited size of the islands and the growth of their economy demand a clear assessment of both the natural geoheritage and the historical heritage. This paper presents a brief review of the variety of the natural stone architectural heritage of the F.W.I. and of the available geomaterials. Some conservation issues and threats are evidenced, with particular emphasis on Guadeloupe. Some social practices are also evoked, with the long-term goal of studying the reciprocal influence of local geology and society on conservation aspects. Finally, this paper argues that unawareness is one of the main obstacles for the conservation of the geoheritage and the natural stone architectural heritage in the F.W.I.

Wisdom, James E. Granskog, and Keith A. Blatner Mexico I SUMMARY The West Indies and the continental countries bordering the Caribbean Sea constitute a significant market for U.S. wood products. In 1983, wood product exports to the region totaled almost $157 million. The Caribbean Basin primar- ily is a market for softwood products, with pine lumber being the most promi- nent item. The flow of exports to the region is dominated by (1) overseas shipments from southern ports to the West Indies and (2) overland shipments from the Southwestern United States to Mexico.

Abstract In this paper I explore the particular use of dance and music observed in the writings of Maryse Condé, Ina Césaire, and Gerty Dambury. I examine how their use of orality, oral literature, and the body in movement create complex levels of textuality, meaning, and reading.

  • Liberalizing Trade in Tourism Services Under The
    LIBERALIZING TRADE IN TOURISM SERVICES UNDER THE CARIFORUM EU ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT: EXAMINING ITS EFFECT ON TOURISM RELATED FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN THE OECS. 1. INTRODUCTION Over the last sixty years, tourism in the Caribbean has grown in stature from a fledgling industry to become the leading employer regionally and the principal earner of foreign exchange in many of the region’s tourism dependent countries. This has occurred against the background of declining fortunes in the once dominant agricultural sector and substantial changes in the international trade regime which have primarily affected exports of sugar and bananas from the Caribbean as noted by (Bishop 2010). Statistical data retrieved from the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) Travel and Tourism Economic Impact Report 2018 on the Caribbean for 2017, indicates that the region is the most tourism dependent regional destination globally. In regional rankings regarding relative contribution for 2017 the Caribbean placed first in four out of six categories (See Table 1) The regional tourism industry is characterised by several types of tourism product offering such as culinary tourism, cultural and heritage tourism, cruise tourism, eco-tourism, festivals, health and wellness tourism, meetings incentives, conference and events tourism, sports tourism and yachting tourism. Also, there are seven sub-regional markets within the Caribbean namely the Dutch West Indies, the French West Indies, Hispanic Caribbean, the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), other Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM), other Commonwealth and the United States Caribbean. Data retrieved from the Caribbean Tourism Organisation for 2014 indicates that the region recorded a strong performance as 26.

French West Indies collection Collection 219 French West Indies Collection, 1712-1757 1 box, 0.2 lin. feet Collection 219 Abstract Following in the footsteps of the Dutch and British, French settlers arrived in the Caribbean in the 1630s and established trading ports on the islands of Saint-Domingue (later Hispaniola), Martinique, and Guadeloupe. The settlers, with the aid of indentured servants and later African slaves, cultivated numerous crops that were eventually exported to France. Philippe Buache was most likely the official cartographer of her royal highness, the Queen of France. In this capacity, he explored the West Indies with the goal of creating physical and geographical depictions of the French colonies and their environs. The French West Indies collection spans from 1712 to 1757 and is written primarily in French. It consists mainly of correspondence sent from merchants in the French West Indies and the geographical writings of cartographer Philippe Buache. The papers offer insight into the geography and trade of the West Indies in the eighteenth century; Buache also wrote about the geography of Australia and Antarctica. Most of the letters were apparently captured by an English privateer during the English-French War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and never reached their destination, but were probably carried into some part of the English colonies in America.

  • Decolonising the Caribbean Dutch Policies in a Comparative Perspective
    Gert Oostindie & Amsterdam University Press Gert Oostindie & Inge Klinkers Inge Klinkers Much has been written on the post-war decolonisation in the Caribbean, but rarely from a truly comparative Decolonising perspective, and seldom with serious attention to the former Dutch colonies of Suriname, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The present study bridges both the gaps. In their analysis of Dutch decolonisation policies since the 1940s, the authors discuss not only political processes, but also development aid, the Dutch Caribbean Caribbean exodus to the metropolis and cultural an- tagonisms. A balance is drawn both of the costs and benefits of independence in the Caribbean and of the Decolonising the Caribbean Dutch Policies in a outlines and results of the policies pursued in the non- sovereign Caribbean by France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Comparative Perspective Gert Oostindie is director of the kitlv/Royal Nether- lands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Stud- ies and holds a chair in Caribbean Studies at Utrecht University. Inge Klinkers successfully defended her PhD thesis on Caribbean decolonisation policies at Utrecht University and is now an editor for various academic presses. In 2001, Oostindie and Klinkers published the three-volume study, Knellende Koninkrijksbanden. Het Nederlandse dekolonisatiebeleid in de Caraïben, 1940-2000 and the abridged version Het Koninkrijk in de Caraïben, 1940-2000, both with Amsterdam University Press. www.aup.nl Amsterdam University Press Decolonising the Caribbean Decolonising the Caribbean Dutch Policies in a Comparative Perspective Gert Oostindie & Inge Klinkers Amsterdam University Press Cover map: the borders between the various countries in the Guyanas are disputed.The present map does not express the judgement of all countries involved, nor of the authors.

  • British Decolonization in the Caribbean
    BRITISH DECOLONIZATION IN THE CARIBBEAN: THE WEST INDIES FEDERATION By SHARON C. SEWELL Bachelor of Arts Bridgewater State College Bridgewater, Massachusetts 1978 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS July, 1997 BRITISH DECOLONIZATION IN THE CARIBBEAN: THE WEST INDIES FEDERATION Thesis Approved: --- o Thesis Adviser Dean of the Graduate College 11 PREFACE In 1947 Great Britain together its Caribbean colonies to discuss the idea of a closer association among them. The British wanted the colonies to Wlite in a federation to which Britain would give independence and entry into the Commonwealth. After World War II it was an accepted view among the larger countries that small nations could not compete economically and survive politically in the modem world. Britain's belief in this theory led them to their offer of 1947. However, in their efforts to rid themselves of their economically poor colonies in the Caribbean, the British failed to take into consideration the insularity they had fostered for years in the area. Although Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, the Leeward Islands of Antigua, Montserrat, and St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla, and the Windward Islands of Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent shared much in common, including their agriculture-based economy and their British heritage, they had lived independently of each other for centuries. Although they agreed to explore the possibility of federation, and even embarked on the venture for four short years, their reluctance to give up their new-found political freedom brought about the collapse of their federation.

At least five marine turtles and 49 terrestrial or freshwater amphibians and reptiles have been listed from the French West Indies since the beginning of human settlement. Among terrestrial or freshwater species, two groups may be distinguished. The first group comprises 35 native species, of which seven are currently extinct or vanished. These species are often endemic to a bank and make up the initial herpetofauna of the French West Indies. Disregarding two species impossible to rule on due to lack of data, the second group includes twelve species that were introduced. Except for marine turtles and some terrestrial species for which the decline was due to human predation, the extinctions primarily involved ground living reptiles of average size and round section body shape. Habitat degradation and mammalian predator introductions have probably contributed to the extinction of these species, in addition to a possible direct impact of man.
