STRONG LEADERSHIP FOR A STRONG T&T THE UNITED NATIONAL CONGRESS Re s t o r i n g Tru s t he PNM’s unrelenting seven-year campaign and its savagely partisan Tuse of the apparatus of the State to humiliate and criminalise the leadership and prominent supporters of the UNC have failed to produce a single convic- tion on any charge of misconduct in public office. The UNC nonetheless recognises the compelling obligation to move immedi- ately with speed and purpose to do all that is possible to restore the public trust.

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.

University of Florida Thesis Or
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.
