PREMDAS Department of Government University of the West Indies St. Augustine Trinidad and Tobago Below the surface of Trinidad's political peace exists an antagonistic ethnic monster waiting its moment of opportunity to explode!. The image of a politically stable and economically prosperous state however conceals powerful internal contradictions in the society. Many critical tensions prowl through the body politic threatening to throw the society into turmoil. Perhaps, the most salient of these tensions derives from the country's multi-ethnic population. Among the one million, two hundred thousand citizens live four distinct ethno-racial groups: Africans, Asian Indians, Europeans and Chinese. For two centuries, these groups co-existed in Trinidad, but failed to evolve a consensus of shared values so as to engender a sense of common citizenship and a shared identity.

    FROM INDIAN TO INDO-CREOLE: TASSA DRUMMING, CREOLIZATION, AND INDO- CARIBBEAN NATIONALISM IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO By CHRISTOPHER L. BALLENGEE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2013 1 © 2013 Christopher L. Ballengee 2 In memory of Krishna Soogrim-Ram 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am indebted to numerous individuals for helping this project come to fruition. Thanks first to my committee for their unwavering support. Ken Broadway has been a faithful champion of the music of Trinidad and Tobago, and I am grateful for his encouragement. He is indeed one of the best teachers I have ever had. Silvio dos Santos’ scholarship and professionalism has likewise been an inspiration for my own musical investigations. In times of struggle during research and analysis, I consistently returned to his advice: “What does the music tell you?” Vasudha Narayanan’s insights into the Indian and Hindu experience in the Americas imparted in me an awareness of the subtleties of common practices and to see that despite claims of wholly recreated traditions, they are “always different.” In my time at the University of Florida, Larry Crook has given me the freedom—perhaps too much at times—to follow my own path, to discover knowledge and meaning on my own terms. Yet, he has also been a mentor, friend, and colleague who I hold in the highest esteem. Special thanks also to Peter Schmidt for inspiring my interest in ethnographic film and whose words of encouragement, support, and congratulations propelled me in no small degree through the early and protracted stages of research.

  • Characterisation of the Commercial Mangrove Land Crab Fishery in Trinidad
    CERMES Technical Report No 76 Characterisation of the commercial mangrove land crab fishery in Trinidad M.E. MAYNARD AND H.A. OXENFORD Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies Faculty of Science and Technology The University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus, Barbados 2014 ABSTRACT Mangroves are typically found along coastlines within the tropics. The natural resources encompassed within these mangrove ecosystems provide goods and services which can be of great commercial value to humans. Mangrove land crabs are one such resource. Within the Caribbean region, mangrove land crab harvesting is common though small scale in nature, often not included in countries‟ commercial fisheries reports and with little to no management. As such, these „fisheries‟ are plagued by uncontrolled exploitation and a lack of formal information, as it relates to the status of the resource. The Caribbean island of Trinidad is no exception. Trinidad is home to two species of mangrove land crab; the blue land crab, Cardisoma guanhumi and the hairy land crab, Ucides cordatus, with both species being harvested and sold commercially. The country of Trinidad and Tobago is either a contracting member or a signatory party to a number of conventions including the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat (Ramsar Convention), the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD) and the Protocol concerning Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife to the Cartagena Convention (the SPAW Protocol), with each promoting the sustainable use, monitoring, regulation and or protection of fauna due to their possible value and importance. In an effort to provide baseline information which can help Trinidad better attain the goals and responsibilities stipulated under these conventions, this study seeks to characterise the commercial mangrove land crab fishery in Trinidad for the first time.

  • Ethnicity and Elections in the Caribbean: a Radical Realignment of Power in Trinidad and the Threat of Communal Strife
    ETHNICITY AND ELECTIONS IN THE CARIBBEAN: A RADICAL REALIGNMENT OF POWER IN TRINIDAD AND THE THREAT OF COMMUNAL STRIFE Ralph R. Premdas Working Paper #224 - April 1996 Ralph R. Premdas, a Visiting Scholar at the Kellogg Institute (spring 1996), teaches regularly at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago, in the Caribbean. Over the past two decades Professor Premdas has conducted extensive field work in Guyana and Fiji. Among his published works are Guyana: Ethnic Conflict and Development and Fiji: Ethnicity and Development, both published by the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development and by the University of Warwick’s Research Series on Ethnic Relations. Other recent works by the author include Secessionist Movements in Comparative Perspective (Pinter, 1991), The Enigma of Ethnicity: Ethnic and Racial Relations in the Caribbean and the World (University of the West Indies, 1992), and Ethnic Identity in the Caribbean: Decentering a Myth (University of Toronto, 1995). The author is grateful to all the friends and colleagues who generously contributed their assistance in putting this paper together, and he would like, in particular, to thank Mr. Henry Ramjass for his help. ABSTRACT The 1995 elections in the multiethnic Caribbean state, Trinidad and Tobago, were not an ordinary affair. They not only saw a change of regime but with it a change in the ethnic identity of the new political rulers. Control of the government by one ethnic party or the other poses a threat to the welfare of excluded and defeated parties. For many years one ethnic community controlled the government and entrenched its supporters at all levels of government as well as allocating most resources for the benefit of its own community.
