Mintz, Sidney W., "Introduction to the 2nd Edition of The Haitian People, by James G. Leyburn", New Haven & London: Yale University Press, 1966.

Sidney Wilfred Mintz (November 16, 1922 – December 26, 2015) was an anthropologist best known for his studies of the Caribbean, creolization, and the anthropology of food. Mintz received his PhD at Columbia University in 1951 and conducted his primary fieldwork among sugar-cane workers in Puerto Rico. Later expanding his ethnographic research to Haiti and Jamaica, he produced historical and ethnographic studies of slavery and global capitalism, cultural hybridity, Caribbean peasants, and the political economy of food commodities. He taught for two decades at Yale University before founding the Anthropology Department at Johns Hopkins University, where he remained for the duration of his career.

James G. Leyburn was a distinguished teacher, scholar, administrator, churchman, author, and mentor to generations of students at Washington and Lee University. A graduate of Trinity College (Duke), Princeton, and Yale Universities, Dr. Leyburn came to W&L from Yale in 1947 as Dean of the University.

Within the first week after its establishment in September 1961, the Caribbean Council, the governing body of the Caribbean Organization, realized the need for improving and harmonizing the development plans of the countries of the Caribbean area. One of the first steps taken by the Council towards this end was the creation of the "Caribbean Plan" for the economic, social and cultural development of the area and the establishment of a Standing Committee to advise it on all matters connected with this plan.

Guide to the Sources in the Netherlands for the History of Latin America

Roessingh, M.P.H., Guide to the Sources in the Netherlands for the History of Latin America, The Hague: Govt. Pub. Office, 1968.

From the Introduction:

The guide provides a survey of the sources (documents, manuscripts, maps and topographical reproductions) in the Netherlands for the history of Latin America. The area dealt with covers all of Central and South America together with the islands belonging to the relative countries, the southern states of the United States up to the time they joined the Union, and the Philippines. The period dealt with is from the discovery of America up to 1914, or, as regards the Philippines and Puerto Rico, to 1898. In certain cases the terminus ante quem has been shifted nearer the present day, for example if an archive or collection contains important documents from both before and after 1914 or a consecutive series of correspondence, etc, continues beyond 1914 and 1898 respectively.

”Professor Lombardi’s work is both extremely well researched and refreshingly original. It not only extends the available knowledge… but also offers important qualifications to the glib generalizations concerning slavery in Latin America. There is no doubt that [this] study is of superlative value and outstanding importance both for the history of Venezuela as well as for the history of Latin American slave societies in the nineteenth century. It is precisely on such micro-studies that comparative history must depend to make itself more meaningful.” – Franklin W. Knight

John Vincent Paul Maher Lombardi (born August 19, 1942) is an American professor and former university administrator. He is a native of California, and earned his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees before becoming a professor of Latin American history.

Readings in Government and Politics of the West Indies

Singham, Archie W., E. S. Jones, D. Gordon, Catherine Levy, T. G. Munroe, Eds., Readings in Government and Politics of the West Indies, Kingston 5: University of the West Indies, N.D.

From the Introduction:

This reader is intended primarily for students in Government at the University of the West Indies (Mona, St. Augustine and Cave Hill) and the University of Guyana, and for the students enrolled in the short term courses for civil servants in the Eastern Caribbean Training Programme. The Department of Government at Mona has taught a third year paper on Government and Politics in the West Indies from 1960, but the focus of this paper has gradually shifted from a federal emphasis to a more comparative one. This paper was taught on an experimental basis in 1964 – 65 and during the academic year 1965 – 66 the paper was considerably revised and a more integrated approach adopted. The absence of a single text and the dearth of written materials on West Indian politics has been responsible for the preparation of this Reader. It will be noticed that the readings are drawn not only from the literature in political science, but also from related disciplines.

When the French Revolution occurred, a revolutionary tribunal was sent to Saint Lucia, headed by captain La Crosse. Prior to this, the slaves had heard about the revolution and walked off their jobs in 1790-1791 to work for themselves. Bringing the ideas of the revolution to Saint Lucia, La Crosse set up a guillotine used to execute Royalists. In 1794 the French governor of the island declared that all slaves were free, as also happened In Saint-Domingue. However, the decree was unevenly carried out.

Recruitment to Higher Education in Puerto Rico: 1940-1960

Nieves Falcón, Luis, Recruitment to Higher Education in Puerto Rico: 1940-1960, San Juan, PR: Editorial Universitaria, 1965.

From the author’s introduction:

One of the main objectives of this study is to see the extent to which the opportunities for higher education in Puerto Rico have changed. For this purpose the social composition of the student body at the University of Puerto Rico from 1940 to 1960 is analyzed. Recruitment in terms of sex, rural-urban residence and school of origin is another important aspect for consideration. Thus, this study will attempt to define the social characteristics of those segments of the population which are availing themselves of the new and expanded educational facilities offered at the University. It will also seek to locate the shift, if any, in the social status of the students throughout the period chosen for this inquiry.

From the author’s Preface:

The purpose of the present volume has been to combine in proper proportion, the various features which should give it permanent value for reading and reference no less than immediate value for its story of Martinique. With that in view, the chapters descriptive of the disasters of 1902, in Martinique, St. Vincent, Guatemala and elsewhere, are followed by a scientific explanation of the causes of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and kindred disturbances; a series of chapters relating the details of the most interesting historic disasters of the past, from Sodom and Gomorrah to the present day; and a complete and authentic account, historical and descriptive, of the whole West Indies, in which these latest disturbances occurred, and in which our own American interests are so rapidly advancing

Extract from the inner sleeve:

,After two chapters of theoretical introduction, the authors explore the meanings and implications of evidence, explanation and proof in history by applying econometric methods to the analysis of three major problems in the 19th century economic history – The profitability of slavery in the antebellum South; Income growth and development in the United States during the 1800’s; The Great Depression in the British economy; PLUS a postscript on growth reassessing some current arguments in the light of the findings of these papers. The book presents an original and provocative approach to historical problems that have long plagued economists and historians and provides the reader with a new approach to these and similar questions.

(Primer tomo bastante deteriorado)

Biblioteca “Goathemala”

Tomo I disponible en línea aquí y aquí.

Extracto del Prólogo de Jorge del Valle Matheu (Tomo II):

El primer tomo de la historia aludida de Ximénez, comprende dos libros: en el primero se traduce la notable Biblia quiché, que es, según la valiosa opinión del sociólogo Bancroft, citada por el Licenciado Batres Jáuregui, “el más rico legado cosmogónico del Nuevo Mundo”. Desde el capítulo XXII, dicha historia hace una crítica de esta Biblia, y en el XXXVIII empieza a describir la conquista de Guatemala, terminando el libro con la fundación de la ciudad de Santiago de los Caballeros en el Valle de Almolonga. El libro segundo se contrae a demostrar que los dominicos fueron los primeros evangelizadores en el Reino de Guatemala, y describe la escisión entre conquistadores y religiosos: avaros y crueles los primeros; benéficos los segundos. Sin desconocer el gran valor de este libro, creo que es mayor el del primero, que brinda al lector la psicología de los primitivos pobladores y dueños de Guatemala, impresa en el Popol Vuh.

Francísco Ximénez (November 28, 1666 – c.1729) was a Dominican priest who is known for his conservation of an indigenous Maya narrative known today as Popol Vuh. (…) Father Ximénez's sacerdotal service began in 1691 in San Juan Sacatepéquez and San Pedro de las Huertas where he learned Cakchiquel. In December 1693, Ximénez began serving as the Doctrinero of San Pedro de las Huertas. He continued in this office for at least ten years during which time he was transferred to Santo Tomás Chichicastenango (also known as Chuilá) from 1701-1703. Father Ximénez was also the curate of Rabinal from 1704 through 1714 and further served as the Vicario and Predicador-General of the same district as early as 1705.

Azúcar: Su Legislación y su Jurisprudencia

Morales Núnẽz, Guillermo, Azúcar: Su Legislación y su Jurisprudencia, con cuantas leyes, decretos-leyes, acuerdos-leyes, decretos del ejecutivo, sentencias y autos del Tribunal Supremo y de las distintas audiencias de la República, laudos y resoluciones de la Comisión de Arbitraje Azucarero han sido dictados como complemento o interpretación [de] la Ley de Coordinación azucarera y su reglamento, Vols. I & II, La Habana: Editorial Lex, 1948.

Extracto de la Nota preliminar por Mariano Sánchez Roca {Director de “Editorial Lex”}:

De las materias legislativas de orden especifico nacional es la que concierne a la regulación de la Industria Azucarera la más importante de todas. La razón es obvia. Repitamos lo tantas veces dicho: Tratase de “la primera industria, base y nervio, de la economía de Cuba”. De ahí, que el conocimiento exacto y preciso de cuantas disposiciones legales han sido dictadas, bien con carácter fundamental o complementario, sea de conocimiento obligado no solo para quienes profesionalmente están llamados a aplicarlas o invocarlas, sino también para cuantos personifican individual o colectivamente los distintos factores que integran, en su conjunto la producción.

Esa tarea de ordenamiento y divulgación de la legislación azucarera fue iniciada por el malogrado e inteligentísimo abogado del Foro cubano, Dr. Angel de Usategui y Lezama, fallecido cuando cabía esperar de su preparación jurídica y de su cultura, frutos muy notables. El Dr. Usategui publicó, además de su magnífica monografía “El Colono Cubano”, la “Compilación legal sobre el azúcar” que abarco los años 1918 – 1934, más dos Apéndices correspondientes a los años 1935 y 1936. Del éxito que el autor obtuvo con su labor basta decir que las ediciones se agotaron en plazo mucho más breve del que es corriente respecto a cualquier libro en Cuba. En gestión muy avanzada para proseguir su tarea hallábase el Dr. Usategui con esta editorial cuando le sobrevino la muerte. Mas su nombre, prestigiado y prestigioso, habrá de figurar por propio derecho siempre que se ensalce una labor de carácter publicitario en lo jurídico, primordialmente, en relación con la industria azucarera.

Por fortuna, la obra del Dr. Usategui y Lezama ha tenido un magnifico continuador: El Dr. Guillermo Morales Núñez, actualmente Juez de Primera Instancia de Palma Soriano y funcionario estudioso, dignísimo y competente del Poder Judicial.

Promulgada en 2 de Septiembre de 1937 la Ley de Coordinación Azucarera reglamentada por el Decreto 2811 de 23 de Diciembre de 1938, se advertía la necesidad de una obra que agrupase cuantas disposiciones, jurisprudencia y resoluciones hubiese dictado los organismos competentes para la interpretación y aplicación adecuada y recta de aquellos cuerpos legales, cuya complejidad, por razón de su ámbito amplísimo y heterogéneo resulta manifiesta, demandando cuidadosa y acusiosa exégesis.

El Dr. Morales Núñez acometió la tarea, y de la prueba a que sometió su laboriosidad y su talento no ha podido salir más airoso.

Con método rígido e inalterable, y tomando como base a Ley de Coordinación Azucarera, y su Reglamento, ha logrado rendir una obra cuya utilidad y valor habrán de ser ampliamente reconocidos.

Apresurémonos a consignar que el Dr. Morales Núñez ha agotado el tema que se propuso desarrollar. Desde 1937 a 1947, cuantas Disposiciones se relacionan con la Industria Azucarera, recogidas hállanse en esta obra que con orgullo legítimo y sincera satisfacción presenta Editorial Lex como un nuevo y singular exponente de servicio a Cuba.

Con perfecta clasificación y sistemática eficientísima el autor ha complementado el texto de cada artículo de la Ley de Coordinación Azucarera y de su Reglamento, primero con las Leyes, Decretos-Leyes, Acuerdos-Leyes, Decretos y Resoluciones del Poder Ejecutivo que de un modo concreto o indirecto les afectan o guardan relación; seguidamente ha recopilado la Jurisprudencia del Tribunal Supremo y sentencias de las distintas Audiencias de la República atinentes a la interpretación de cada precepto de los textos coordinadores y, a continuación, todos los Laudos y Resoluciones de la Comisión de Arbitraje Azucarero, que, como es sabido, es el organismo orientador y conciliador en todas las cuestiones que se plantean con carácter de derecho privado, a las que son aplicadas las normas establecidas para el más perfecto desenvolvimiento de la industria dentro de su órbita legal.

Mediante un sistema cuidadosamente concebido de “Concordancias” el Dr. Morales Núñez ha realizado la ímproba tarea de viabilizar de modo sencillo y práctico el estudio y comprensión, con base en el criterio fijado, de toda esa red amplísima y complicada que es de por si la legislación que regula la coordinación de todos los factores que son parte vital de la primera industria del país.

No se ha limitado, sin embargo, el Dr. Morales Núñez a la labor expuesta, que ya es de por si trascendente, sino que también, a estimulo de su sólida preparación jurídica, por medio de notas aclaratorias, son muchos los temas sobre los que emite opinión propia bien para ratificar orientaciones marcadas, bien para impugnar éstas, con lo que el mérito de su tarea adquiere destacada importancia e interés.

(…)

Integrada la obra de Morales Núñez por tres Volúmenes de más de mil páginas cada uno, a modo de orientación hemos de consignar, que los dos primeros integran la Ley de Coordinación Azucarera con todas las disposiciones, sentencias y Laudos, y el Volumen III, el Reglamento de la Ley, más el Apéndice que comprende aquellos hasta 31 de Diciembre de 1947.

Del Prólogo:

La guerra por la independencia de la América Hispana fue penosa y sangrienta y dejó en el país una estela de rencores que, afortunadamente, ya han desaparecido. Reconocida la independencia de aquellos países, se establecieron con España corrientes de simpatía y lazos de unión, cada vez más estrechos, de verdadera fraternidad.
(…)
Capital importancia tiene la publicación de este Catálogo para el estudio de los agitados tiempos a que se refiere, y muy especialmente para un más exacto conocimiento de las vicisitudes y pormenores del problema de la Independencia de América, bajo el punto de vista nacional. En tesis general, se puede sostener que los Archivos españoles, en lo relativo a la documentación de carácter diplomático, estuvieron cerrados, casi por completo, a toda investigación hasta el último tercio del siglo XIX, y por tanto, no pudo ser estudiada por muchos y beneméritos autores que trataron el tema de la Independencia.

The Evolution of the Political Thought of C.L.R. James

LaGuerre, John Gaffar, “The Evolution of the Political Thought of C.L.R. James”, St. Augustine: University of the West Indies, Faculty of Social Sciences, 1972.

Intro by the author:

My concern is the evolution of James’ political thought and the factors shaping that thought. I shall be looking at themes, at the background from which they emerged and the controversies to which they give rise. I shall focus on four main themes – James’ early championship of West Indian self-government his theorizing on the nature of metropolitan and colonial revolutions, his contribution to the debate on state capitalism and his attitude to the negro struggle.

Cyril Lionel Robert James (4 January 1901 – 19 May 1989), best known as C. L. R. James, who sometimes wrote under the pen-name J. R. Johnson, was an Afro-Trinidadian historian, journalist, socialist theorist and essayist. His works are influential in various theoretical, social, and historiographical contexts. His work is a staple of subaltern studies, and he figures as a pioneering and influential voice in postcolonial literature.[1] A tireless political activist, James's writing on the Communist International stirred debate in Trotskyist circles, and his history of the Haitian Revolution, The Black Jacobins, is a seminal text in the literature of the African Diaspora.[

The party was established in February 1969 by Makandal Daaga (then known as Geddes Granger), who was dissatisfied with the fact that most businesses in Trinidad at the time were owned by the white minority. The party first contested national elections in 1981,[2] when it received 3.3% of the vote, but failed to win a seat. In the 1986 elections the party's vote share was reduced to 1.5% and it remained seat-less. In the 1991 elections it received just 1.1% of the vote and again failed to win a seat.

Excerpt from the Preface:

Before the German successes of last spring and summer the American public was little concerned with the island and mainland possessions of Great Britain, France, and the Netherlands in the Caribbean area. Since then countless newspaper and magazine articles have stressed the vital importance of these territories in relation to the security of the Americas: their strategic positions commanding the eastern approaches to the Panama Canal; their potentialities as naval and air bases or as centers of fifth column activities; their present economic plight; their possible fate in the event of an Axis victory.

La Leyenda Negra: Estudios sobre sus Orígenes

Arnoldsson, Sverker, La leyenda negra: Estudios sobre sus orígenes, Stockholm: Almqvist & Wiksellg, 1960.

El historiador Sverker Arnoldsson de la universidad de Gotemburgo, en su libro La leyenda negra. Estudios sobre sus orígenes, coloca el origen de la Leyenda negra en la Italia medieval, al contrario que otros autores anteriores que lo sitúan en el siglo XVI.nota 1 Arnoldsson se basa en los estudios de Benedetto Croce y Arturo Farinelli para afirmar que la Italia de los siglos XIV, XV y XVI era eminentemente hostil a España. De hecho Arnoldsson divide la Leyenda negra en Italia en dos partes: la más antigua (de comienzos del siglo XIV), anticatalana o antiaragonesa, y otra más moderna que se forma a partir de 1500, y que ha permanecido posteriormente. Las teorías de Arnoldsson han sido puestas en duda por diversos historiadores.

The historian Sverker Arnoldsson from the University of Gothenburg, in his book The Black Legend. A Study of its Origins, locates the origins of the Black Legend in medieval Italy, unlike previous authors who locate it in the 16th century. Arnoldsson cites studies by Benedetto Croce and Arturo Farinelli to affirm that Italy in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries was extremely hostile to Spain. Arnoldsson's theories have been disputed by numerous historians.

De las Palabras Iniciales del autor:

Con la publicación de esta obra culminamos una etapa del modesto esfuerzo historiográfico que iniciáramos hace ya muchos años respecto al azúcar. El tomo I, como puede apreciarse, es una redición ampliada del que viera la luz en 1964, editado por la Comision Nacional Cubana de la UNESCO. El tomo II comprende materiales hasta ahora inéditos.

Manuel Moreno Fraginals (nacido en La Habana, Cuba el 9 de septiembre de 1920 y fallecido en Miami, Estados Unidos el 9 de mayo de 2001) fue un historiador, ensayista, escritor, y profesor cubano. Moreno Fraginals es quizás el historiador cubano más conocido internacionalmente, gracias a su obra El Ingenio, editada en 1964, un extensísimo y detallado estudio de las economías de plantaciones esclavistas en Cuba y el Caribe. A su muerte dejó numerosas obras escritas de gran trascendencia.

José Martín Félix de Arrate y Acosta (La Habana, Cuba; 14 de enero de 1701 - La Habana, Cuba; 23 de abril de 1765) fue un político y es considerado como el primer historiador cubano. Inició sus estudios en La Habana y luego en México, donde estudia Leyes. Debido a sus lazos de consanguinidad con las familias nobles de La Habana, fue designado regidor perpetuo del ayuntamiento desde 1734. En 1752 fue nombrado alcalde ordinario de La Habana.

Del Prólogo, escrito por Alfonso García Gallo:

En 1966 la doctora Gisela Morazzani de Pérez Enciso dio a la publicidad su libro La Intendencia en España y en América. Seis años después nos ofrece Las ordenanzas de intendentes de Indias… En apariencia, esta obra es un complemento de la primera, que muestra que su autora ha continuado desarrollando el estudio del tema a lo largo de estos años. La realidad es otra. Ambas obras, aunque distintas por su contenido y el método con que han sido elaboradas, forman una unidad, que como tal fue concebida por la doctora Morazzani de Pérez Enciso cuando hace doce años comenzó a realizarlas. Ambas obras, en su primera redacción, constituyeron su tesis doctoral en la Sección de Historia de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Madrid…

45 Contemporary Mexican Artists: A Twentieth-century Renaissance

Stewart, Virginia, 45 Contemporary Mexican Artists: A Twentieth-century Renaissance, Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1951.

Excerpt from the Introduction.

From the inner sleeve:

The most significant “art outburst of our time” came to Mexico in the wake of the political revolution. A fresh wind of revolt swept through the musty classrooms releasing Mexican art from the bondage of academic style and method, leaving behind a new freedom of expression, a new recognition of the unparalleled beauty of the land, the people, and their way of life. Out went the plaster models, the stylized techniques borrowed from France and Italy. In their stead grew the new concept: open air schools where students painted native scenes, native designs, native models.

Edward Wilmot Blyden (3 August 1832 – 7 February 1912), the father of pan-Africanism; was an educator, writer, diplomat, and politician primarily in Liberia. Born in the West Indies, he joined the free black immigrants to the region from the United States; he also taught for five years in the British West African colony of Sierra Leone in the early 20th century. His writings on pan-Africanism were influential in both colonies, which were started during the slavery years for the resettlement of free blacks from the United States and Great Britain. His writings attracted attention in the sponsoring countries as well. He felt that Zionism was a model for what he called Ethiopianism, and that African Americans could return to Africa and redeem it. Later he supported Islam.

Through exacting research and experimentation, he has helped achieve legitimacy for the field of cultural psychiatry that it never had when he launched his career more than 40 years ago after receiving a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Iowa. He has had academic appointments at several universities, including the University of Puerto Rico, Yale, and Case Western Reserve.

Brief History of the Virgin Islands

Reviewed in The Journal of Negro History © 1939.

Jose Antonio Jarvis was born on November 22, 1901, the offspring of a minister of the African Methodist Church, Joseph W. Jarvis and Mercedes Duvergee, a Roman Catholic St. Thomian. He was brought up by Miss Mary Hughustein, whom Jarvis referred to as his godmother, in a house on Gamble Gade in Savan. Young Antonio attended the Catholic School. His interest in journalism began rather early when he worked as a printers evil to Herbert Taylor, who owned a newspaper and then to "Lightbourn's Mail Notes." He contributed to it when it became George Audain's "St. Thomas Mail Notes" and years after became its assistant editor. The noted educator started teaching in 1924, first at the St. Thomas Academy, later, the same year, at Abraham Lincoln School. After passing exams in the public education system, he received an elementary certificate. He then taught at the Charlotte Amalie High School for eight years.

From the preface:

The authors of this volume have tried to put into concise form the facts concerning the story, the present conditions and the possibilities of the Virgin Islands of the United States for the tourist and the business man as well as for those who must be content, for the time being, at least, to make their journeys to the West Indies in imagination. At the same time, the attempt has been made to weave into the fascinating story something of the romance that cannot be separated from the thought of the islands in the mind of one who has had the pleasing experience of spending in these newest possessions of the United States a winter that was the culmination of a number of seasons on other islands of the dreamy Caribbean.

Theodoor Hendrik Nikolaas de Booy (December 5, 1882 – February 18, 1919) was a Dutch-born American archaeologist. De Booy was born as son of a Vice Admiral in Hellevoetsluis, Netherlands. At the age of 23, he migrated to the United States where he married Elizabeth Hamilton Smith in 1909. In 1916 he became an American citizen. In 1911 he went to the Bahamas with his wife. During their archaeological fieldwork in the caves and middens they made remarkable discoveries (e.g. a paddle or pottery) from the Pre-Columbian culture of the Lucayan. In the following years he worked for the Heye Museum in New York City. His fieldwork in the Caribbean and in Venezuela made him a prolific expert for the history of the Pre-Columbian Arawak culture.

From the author’s Preface:

This study is a mere sketch, a synoptic sociological account of an island community up to the time of its attainment of political independence in 1962. My hope is that it will provide some measure of enlightenment for both the general reader and the professional scholar. I have not attempted to supplant earlier histories and monographs on Trinidad and Tobago; rather, one of my principal aims has been to place some of these earlier studies in a broader social and historical context, and to add some findings and chapters of my own concerning the development of this fascinating new nation.

Inward Hunger: The Education of a Prime Minister

Williams, Eric, Inward Hunger: The Education of a Prime Minister, London: Andre Deutsch, Ltd., 1969.

First chapter available online.

Reviewed by Shiva Naipaul.

In Inward Hunger, Williams recounts that in the period following his graduation: "I was severely handicapped in my research by my lack of money.... I was turned down everywhere I tried ... and could not ignore the racial factor involved". However, in 1936, thanks to a recommendation made by Sir Alfred Claud Hollis (Governor of Trinidad and Tobago, 1930–36), the Leathersellers' Company awarded him a £50 grant to continue his advanced research in history at Oxford.[1] He completed the D.Phil in 1938 under the supervision of Vincent Harlow. His doctoral thesis, The Economic Aspects of the Abolition of the Slave Trade and West Indian Slavery, was both a direct attack on the idea that moral and humanitarian motives were the key facts in the victory of British abolitionism, and a covert critique of the idea common in the 1930s, emanating in particular from the pen of Oxford Professor Reginald Coupland, that British imperialism was essentially propelled by humanitarian and benevolent impulses. Williams's argument owed much to the influence of C. L. R. James, whose The Black Jacobins, also completed in 1938, also offered an economic and geostrategic explanation for the rise of British abolitionism.
