SHERIDAN CHANGING SUGAR TECHNOLOGY AND THE LABOUR NEXUS IN THE BRITISH CARIBBEAN, 1750-1900, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BARBADOS AND JAMAICA I Technology can be defined as the organization of knowledge for the achievement of practical purposes. It consists of knowledge, skills, methods, tools, and machines that enable people to shape materials and produce objects for practical ends. In this paper I will examine the pattern and direction of technological change in the cane sugar industry of the British West Indies and analyze the impact of this change on the employment, productivity, and welfare of workers engaged in the production of sugar. I will use the term "technology" in a comprehensive sense to include techniques and such non-material aspects as management, organization of work, and other elements of social organization. I plan to compare the sugar islands of Barbados and Jamaica from circa 1750 to 1900 in terms of innovations which changed the processing structure, changes in the agricultural sphere, and connections between technological develop- ments and changing labour relations. I shall be concerned with the geographic environment and the technology which made that environment useful; with the availability of capital, access to skilied and unskilled labour, presence or absence of members of the planter class, metropolitan influ- ences, changing sugar prices, duties, and profitability.

  • Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity
    “In Plenty and In Time of Need”: Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity by Lia Tamar Bascomb A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies in the Graduate Division of University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Leigh Raiford, Chair Professor Brandi Catanese Professor Nadia Ellis Professor Laura Pérez Spring 2013 “In Plenty and In Time of Need”: Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity © 2013 by Lia Tamar Bascomb 1 Abstract “In Plenty and In Time of Need”: Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity by Lia Tamar Bascomb Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies University of California at Berkeley Professor Leigh Raiford, Chair This dissertation is a cultural history of Barbados since its 1966 independence. As a pivotal point in the Transatlantic Slave Trade of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, one of Britain’s most prized colonies well into the mid twentieth century, and, since 1966, one of the most stable postcolonial nation-states in the Western hemisphere, Barbados offers an extremely important and, yet, understudied site of world history. Barbadian identity stands at a crossroads where ideals of British respectability, African cultural retentions, U.S. commodity markets, and global economic flows meet. Focusing on the rise of Barbadian popular music, performance, and visual culture this dissertation demonstrates how the unique history of Barbados has contributed to complex relations of national, gendered, and sexual identities, and how these identities are represented and interpreted on a global stage. This project examines the relation between the global pop culture market, the Barbadian artists within it, and the goals and desires of Barbadian people over the past fifty years, ultimately positing that the popular culture market is a site for postcolonial identity formation.

  • Socio-Economic and Physical Development Influences on Water Use in Barbados
    SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT INFLUENCES ON WATER USE IN BARBADOS by Alicia Suchorski Department of Bioresource Engineering, McGill University, Montreal May 2009 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science Copyright ©Alicia Suchorski, 2009 ABSTRACT Master of Science Alicia Suchorski Bioresource Engineering SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT INFLUENCES ON WATER USE IN BARBADOS Water scarcity has gained increasing awareness globally, and the small island developing states of the Caribbean, including Barbados, are not exempt from this global crisis. There is a large amount of variation to be found between Barbados‟ 11 parishes demographically, economically, and socially, with tourism encapsulating an especially significant sector for both the economy and water use, emphasized in certain parishes most prevalently. Surveys were carried out in four coastal parishes and respondents were asked various water-related questions for their household. The survey addressed a myriad of issues such as water availability, quality, categorizing responsibilities of water-related tasks, as well as a number of other topics. The number of surveys conducted was equivalent to one per cent of each parish population. The chi-square test for the analysis of a two-way contingency table was conducted to determine the influence of development and gender on parish households in differential water use, access, and perceptions of water. Surveys were completed to provide clarity to the objectives of the research which were twofold: to determine whether the amount of economic, social, and physical development of a parish influences the access and distribution of domestic water to households; and to uncover gender perceptions related to water use and determine how water use patterns and water consumption vary between genders in households.
