The Crime Against Cuba

Lamont, Corliss, The Crime Against Cuba, New York: Basic Pamphlets, 1961.

Corliss Lamont (March 28, 1902 – April 26, 1995; aged 93) was an American socialist philosopher, and advocate of various left-wing and civil liberties causes. As a part of his political activities he was the Chairman of National Council of American-Soviet Friendship starting from the early 1940s.

Basic Pamphlet 14, The Crime Against Cuba, is of special interest even today due to the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald, suspected assassin of U.S. president John F. Kennedy, distributed copies of it on the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, during the summer of 1963, and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) purchased 45 copies of the pamphlet in June 1961. The Crime Against Cuba was Exhibit No. 3120 in the Warren Commission Report.

My note:

In the Americas Section it lists: Acosta, Ioseph, The naturall and morall historie of the East and West Indies, translated into English by Edward Grimstone: One of the most celebrated early works on America by one of the earliest writers who has treated philosophically of the subject and its productions... It is especially important for its particulars concerning the state of South America at that time, and the early history of the Indians of Peru and Mexico. Ver además esto.

From the Preface:

In this work we have attempted to combine the methods of journalism and scholarship to produce a rounded analysis of one of the most original and important social transformations of our time. Since journalism implies speed and scholarship deliberation, the combination necessarily involves a compromise, and we must leave it to the reader to judge whether we have managed to achieve a fruitful one. We spent approximately three weeks in Cuba, in March 1960. We were received with warm hospitality and given every assistance we asked for. In the course of our inquiries we traveled from one end of Cuba to the other and talked with a large number of people from all walks of life. Some of these encounters and discussions are specifically cited in the text.

Education, Inequality, and Development in the Commonwealth Caribbean

Layne, Anthony, Education, Inequality, and Development in the Commonwealth Caribbean, Frankfurt: German Institute for International Educational Research, 1982.

From the Foreword:

This booklet is the outcome of a talk between Anthony Layne and the editor, following the author’s presentation of his paper at the 25th Annual Conference of the Comparative and International Education Society, held at Tallahassee (Florida) from March 18th to 21st, 1981.
(…)
The idea of this publication is rooted in the intention to provide information on facts, trends and issues of a Third World Region which seems to be underrepresented in the relevant literature, compared to African, Asian and Latin American countries.

Bullbrook, J.A., The Aborigines of Trinidad, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad: Royal Victoria Institute Museum, 1960.

John Albert Bullbrook (1882–1967; born in the Medway area in what was then Kent in South-East England) was an author, archaeologist and archaeological historian, who went to Trinidad in 1913 as a petroleum geologist. He began his archaeological career in 1919, pioneering the search on the indigenous population of Trinidad. By the early 1930s, he already provides evidence of the prominence of reflections on the indigenous history of Trinidad, and on the figure of the Carib, in some of the élites’ writings of local history.

Crisis of the West Indian Family: A Sample Study

Matthews, Dom Basil, Crisis of the West Indian family: a sample study, Trinidad: Extra Mural Department of the University College of the West Indies, 1953.

Available online.

From the Editorial Preface:

Dom Basil in the present work scrutinises the growth of the Trinidad family under slavery, through the free rural community up to the present stage of rapid change under urban conditions. In doing so he makes use of historical documentary sources and contemporary data collected by means of quantitative and descriptive surveys. In addition he is able to draw heavily on many tongued oral tradition which has surrounded him since his early years when he was growing up in the house of his father, a school-master, in a remote village in Trinidad, his native land. His own experience not only adds to the richness of the picture drawn, but gives to the readers a sense that the writer is identifying himself with the life of the folk, so that he has thus been able to see the creative aspect of the struggle by the folk for a self-respecting way of life, in circumstances which could hardly have been more challenging.

From CARIFTA to Caribbean Community

Caribbean Community Secretariat:

In 1972, Commonwealth Caribbean leaders at the Seventh Heads of Government Conference decided to transform the Caribbean Free Trade Association (CARIFTA) into a Common Market and establish the Caribbean Community, of which the Common Market would be an integral part. The signing of the Treaty establishing the Caribbean Community, Chaguaramas, 4th July 1973, was a defining moment in the history of the Commonwealth Caribbean. Although a free-trade area had been established, CARIFTA did not provide for the free movement of labour and capital, or the coordination of agricultural, industrial and foreign policies.
