{"product_id":"caribbean-freedom-hilary-beckles-9789768100177","title":"Caribbean Freedom: Economy and Society from Emancipation to the Present","description":"This reader of nearly 60 articles covers major events in the Caribbean struggle for freedom from emancipation to the present - from Toussaint's Haiti to the more recent revolutions in Cuba, Grenada and the Dominican Republic. The range of coverage is comprehensive calling attention to the variety of post-slavery experiences in the Spanish, Dutch, English and French Caribbean. Three broad themes are identified: - the slow disintegration of the slave system which was not completed until 1886; - the attempts by resistant social groups and imperial agencies to accept and adjust to freedom; and - the maturing of nationalist consciousness in terms of constitutional and cultural independence. Among the areas covered under these themes are popular revolts and aborted revolutions; the sugar industry and economic diversification; peasants and planters; immigration from Europe, India and China; the role of women; labour movements; independence and nationhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hilary Beckles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9768100176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789768100177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Randle Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 1.21d","brand":"Hilary Beckles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941372952831,"sku":"9789768100177","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e736b0fd-7ebd-42f3-ba0a-ea74c07ea089.jpg?v=1681452543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/caribbean-freedom-hilary-beckles-9789768100177","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
