A continuación enumeramos algunos de los libros relativos a temas americanistas que han aparecido en Polonia durante los últimos diez años.

Los Empresarios Frente al Grupo de Los Tres: Integración, Intereses e Ideas

Giacalone, Rita, Los empresarios frente al Grupo de Los Tres: integración, intereses e ideas, Mérida, Venezuela: Grupo de Integración Regional, Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Sociales de la Universidad de Los Andes, 1999.

De la cubierta:

Dentro del panorama latinoamericano contemporáneo los empresarios se han visto revalorizados en tanto objeto de análisis por su ubicación central dentro del nuevo paradigma de integración abierta que se adelanta en la región. Este libro busca acercarse a la comprensión de la integración comercial entre Colombia, México y Venezuela, mediante el llamado Grupo de los Tres, desde la óptica de las principales asociaciones empresariales de estas tres naciones. De esta forma, el fenómeno integracionista se percibe desde la doble perspectiva de las relaciones entre las organizaciones del sector privado y sus respectivos Estados nacionales asi como desde la perspectiva de las incipientes relaciones entre ellas.

Museo del Prado: Guía Ilustrada

López de Osaba, P., W. Braunfels, L. Dussler & W. Sauerländer, Museo del Prado: Guía Ilustrada, Madrid: Ediciones Cero Ocho, 1981.

El Museo del Prado, cuyo nombre oficial es Museo Nacional del Prado, en Madrid, España, es uno de los más importantes del mundo, así como uno de los más visitados (el decimoctavo en 2013 entre los museos de arte), y está considerada la institución cultural más importante de España, según el Observatorio de la Cultura de 2020, estudio realizado entre varios centenares de profesionales del sector. Singularmente rico en cuadros de maestros españoles y de varias escuelas pictóricas del resto de Europa entre los siglos XV y XVIII, y españoles del XIX, según manifestó el historiador del arte e hispanista Jonathan Brown «pocos se atreverían a poner en duda que es el museo más importante del mundo en pintura europea».

Jaarverslag [annual report]/ Stichting Planbureau Suriname, 1974 en 1975

Jaarverslag / Stichting Planbureau Suriname, 1974 en 1975, Paramaribo, augustus 1979.

Inleiding: De bijdrage van de verschillende instanties aan de samenstelling van dit gecombineerd jaarverslag is weer niet zo vlot verlopen. Het blijft op deze wijze een minder bevredigende situatie voor wat betreft de stand van zaken bij de realisatie van de ontwikkelingsactiviteiten in Suriname. De verslagjaren stonden in het teken van de realisatie van de onafhankelijkheid van Suriname. Met het oog hierop moesten planmatige voorbereidingen worden getroffen op het stuk van de toekomstige ontwikkelingssamenwerking tussen Nederland en Suriname waarbij er van uit moet worden gegaan dat het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden een substantieel bedrag ter beschikking zou stellen voor de sociaal-economische ontwikkeling van Suriname. Naast deze activiteiten moest normaal worden doorgegaan met de realisatie van de ontwikkelingsprojekten die gefinancierd werden in het kader van het 2e VJP als in dat van de andere financieringsbronnen (EEG, UNDP enz) In de verslagjaren werden vele bilaterale besprekingen gevoerd met het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden waarbij vaak het Planbureau aanwezig was om zodoende de basis te leggen voor de werking in de praktijk van de te maken afspraken na de onafhankelijkheidsverkrijging van Suriname. De afspraken zijn in protocollen vastgelegd. In dit kader werd op 21 mei 1974 het eerste van een reeks protocollen vastgelegd. In dit protocol werden de hoofdmomenten en uitgangsputen van de toekomstige ontwikkelingssamenwerking vastgelegd. Mede vanwege het karakter daarvan wordt dit protocol in extenso opgenomen luidende:

Translation:

Introduction: The contribution of the various bodies to the compilation of this combined annual report has again not gone so smoothly. In this way it remains a less satisfactory situation with regard to the state of affairs in the realization of the development activities in Suriname. The reporting years were dominated by the realization of the independence of Suriname. In view of this, planned preparations had to be made with regard to future development cooperation between the Netherlands and Suriname, based on the assumption that the Kingdom of the Netherlands would make a substantial amount available for the socio-economic development of Suriname. In addition to these activities, the development projects financed under the 2nd FYP as well as under the other funding sources (EEC, UNDP, etc.) had to be continued as normal. In the reporting years, many bilateral discussions were held with the Kingdom of the Netherlands, often with the Planning Bureau present in order to lay the foundation for the practical effect of the agreements to be made after the independence of Suriname. The agreements are laid down in protocols. In this context, the first of a series of protocols was established on 21 May 1974. In this protocol, the main moments and starting points of future development cooperation were laid down. Partly because of its nature, this protocol is included in detail as follows...

Compañías Holandesas de Navegación, Agentes de la Colonización Neerlandesa

Córdova-Bello, Eleazar, Compañías holandesas de navegación, agentes de la colonización neerlandesa, Sevilla: Escuela de Estudios Hispano-Americanos, 1964.

De la “Explicación”:

Amplio y complejo es el tema de las colonizaciones. La neerlandesa, en particular, ofrece además una variedad de modalidades y matices que se desplazan en el tiempo y el espacio, que hacen mas difícil su estudio y muy especialmente cuando se aspira a una síntesis de tan complicado proceso. Para lo mayor de nuestra intención, consideramos lo mas adecuado realizar un análisis de la colonización holandesa en su conjunto, tratando de destacar, dentro de cada caso particular de sus actuaciones y a través de su extenso ámbito geográfico, los rasgos, a nuestro juicio, mas significativos que señalan aquellas realizaciones, las cuales imprimen carácter a su empresa expansionista. El objetivo primordial de nuestro esfuerzo es el de establecer paralelos y diferencias con las otras colonizaciones que actuaron en América, respaldando esa comparación con la compulsación de documentos u otras fuentes históricas respetables. Consideramos que el método de estudio comparativo rendirá positivo resultado a la Historia de América, por modesto que fuere su aporte. Como consecuencia de este plan trazado, mantenemos en el curso de nuestro estudio ese espíritu de comparación objetiva. Los documentos que insertamos en el Apéndice respectivo, relativos a determinados aspectos sociales y jurídicos, tales como el buen trato al indio y al africano, dispuesto por legisladores hispanos, la inquebrantable defensa de los misioneros jesuitas al indígena brasileño, la protesta de los quákeros contra la esclavitud, las crueles sanciones aplicadas por los holandeses a los negros insurrectos de sus colonias en Guayana y otros expedientes de orden económico y político, tienen por finalidad corroborar las comparaciones ya formuladas en el texto de nuestro estudio. Entre la bibliografía para la colonización neerlandesa en Guayana, hemos utilizado el trabajo del General-Mayor P.M. Netscher intitulado Geschiedenis van de kolonien Essequebo, Demerary en Berbice, publicado en 1888, pero desconocido del mundo de habla hispana. En el encontramos unas consideraciones muy interesantes acerca del problema fronterizo entre Venezuela y la Guayana Británica que en esos momentos se ventilaba en Europa con ocasión de las actuaciones de la Comisión Internacional del Laudo, las cuales no han perdido actualidad. En el Apéndice IV reproducimos el capítulo que trata de la cuestión. Nuestro trabajo así concebido no pretende agotar el tema y solo aspira a contribuir modestamente al estudio de las colonizaciones, sin ambicionar a la perfección, de la cual está muy lejos.

Haití, Tomo I

Lepkowski, Tadeusz, Haití, Tomo I, La Habana: Estudios del Centro de Documentación Juan F. Noyola, Casa de las Américas, 1968.

De la Nota a la edición en Español:

Con alegría y no poca emoción presento mi trabajo sobre los comienzos de la nación y el Estado haitianos a los lectores de habla española. La historia de Haití, en más de un aspecto unida a la de las naciones crecidas en América del común tronco étnico español y de su ámbito cultural, me parece particularmente importante para la comprensión de la historia general de los piases del Caribe, donde las apremiantes cuestiones raciales, los complicados problemas de los procesos específicos de formación de las naciones y también de lucha por la libertad, la independencia nacional y el derecho a constituirse en nación, han jugado y juegan un papel tan grande. Este libro fue escrito a fines de 1962 y principios de 1963 y editado en Varsovia en marzo de 1964. En la versión española introduzco algunos complementos, adiciones y retoques, aclarando en particular los fragmentos que había formulado demasiado someramente o con falta de precisión. Estos cambios son, en gran medida, resultado de las sugerencias expresadas a propósito del libro en Polonia. Pude también aprovechar la discusión sobre la tesis del presente trabajo que tuvo lugar en abril de 1964 en La Habana. Sin embargo, la armazón fundamental de la obra quedo inalterada, así como su construcción.

Translation:

It is with joy and not a little emotion that I present my work on the beginnings of the Haitian nation and state to Spanish-speaking readers. The history of Haiti, in more than one aspect linked to that of the nations that grew in America from the common Spanish ethnic stock and their cultural sphere, seems to me to be particularly important for understanding the general history of the Caribbean countries, where the pressing racial questions, the complicated problems of the specific processes of formation of nations and also of the struggle for freedom, national independence and the right to become a nation, have played and play such a great role. This book was written at the end of 1962 and beginning of 1963 and published in Warsaw in March 1964. In the Spanish version I introduce some complements, additions and touch-ups, clarifying in particular the fragments that I had formulated too roughly or with lack of precision. These changes are largely the result of suggestions made about the book in Poland. I was also able to take advantage of the discussion on the thesis of this work that took place in April 1964 in Havana. However, the fundamental framework of the work remained unchanged, as well as its construction.

Cuba: Castroism and Communism, 1959-1966

Suárez, Andrés, Cuba: Castroism and Communism, 1959-1966, Cambridge: M.I.T. Press, 1967.

Reviewed in The American Historical Review, Volume 73, Issue 5, June 1968.

Reviewed in The Hispanic American Historical Review (1969).

Cuba: Castroism and Communism, 1959-1966 surveys the course of events in Cuba from early revolutionary days to the complicated middle-sixties split in the international Communist camp. In this study, Andrés Suárez investigates some of the most fascinating questions about Cuba, and some of the most useful: Where did the Cuban revolution originate? Why did Castro choose an affiliation with the Soviet Union? What is Castro's present strategy in managing his regime and in directing his pas de deux with the Soviets? The book is based on reports in the contemporary Cuban press and on the author's personal experience as a member of the struggle against Batista and as an officer of the Cuban revolutionary government for almost two years.

Fidel Castro

Meneses, Enrique, Fidel Castro, Translation, London: Faber & Faber, 1968.

Reviewed in the Journal of Latin American Studies, Vol. 1, No. 1 (May, 1969).

Enrique Meneses Miniaty - Nacido en Madrid, sus padres, originarios de la provincia de Palencia, procedían de familia de orfebres y plateros. Su padre era Enrique Meneses Puertas, periodista y director de la revista Cosmópolis —y autor de La cruz de Monte Arruit (1922) sobre el desastre de Annual— y su madre, Carmen Miniaty, hija de los condes de Miniaty, era una deportista pionera ganadora de varios trofeos de tenis. (…)En 1958 se desplaza a Cuba, donde se convierte en el primer reportero que convive, durante cuatro meses, con los revolucionarios cubanos en Sierra Maestra. Allí conoció a Fidel Castro y al Ché Guevara. Algunos meses antes de su salida de la isla, en donde estuvo preso de la policía de Batista durante una semana, consigue enviar su reportaje sobre la revolución cubana a la revista Paris Match. Dicho artículo causó gran sensación a nivel mundial.

(…) In 1958 he moved to Cuba, where he became the first reporter to live for four months with the Cuban revolutionaries in Sierra Maestra. There he met Fidel Castro and Ché Guevara. A few months before his departure from the island, where he was imprisoned by the Batista police for a week, he manages to send his report on the Cuban revolution to the magazine Paris Match.

La Economía Socialista: Debate

Guevara, Ernesto “Che”, Ernest Mandel, Charles Bettelheim, Sergio De Santis, Juan Martínez Alier y Marcelo Fernández Font, La Economía Socialista: Debate, España: Editorial Nova Terra, 1968.

De la presentación:

Las voces que intervienen en este debate lo hacen con el rigor de su calidad científica, sea cual sea su postura en el debate; en el caso concreto de las intervenciones de “Che” Guevara se suma, al valor económico de sus aportaciones, la experiencia vivida en la lucha por construir un socialismo concreto y, en ese sentido sus críticas a las posiciones de Bettelheim, de Alberto Mora y otros defensores del funcionamiento de la ley del valor en el periodo de transición adquieren un relieve especial. Por otra parte, el humanismo concreto y universal que inspiro tanto su acción política como su teoría económica, da a los textos de Guevara, incluso los más técnicos, una densidad social peculiar. La famosa polémica en torno a los estímulos materiales y a los estímulos morales se enraíza en esa perspectiva con los más profundos problemas del desarrollo de una conciencia personal. Tal como él mismo lo expresa: “Estimulo material directo y conciencia son términos contradictorios en nuestro concepto… No se trata de matices; para los partidarios de la autogestión financiera el estímulo material directo proyectado hacia el futuro no se contrapone al desarrollo de la conciencia; para nosotros, sí.”

The voices that intervene in this debate do so with the rigor of their scientific qualities, whatever their position in the debate; In the specific case of the interventions of "Che" Guevara, the economic value of his contributions are added to the experience lived in the struggle to build a concrete socialism and, in this sense, his criticism of the positions of Bettelheim, Alberto Mora and other defenders of the operation of the law of value in the transition period acquire a special light. On the other hand, the concrete and universal humanism that inspired both his political action and his economic theory gives Guevara's texts, even the most technical ones, a peculiar social density. The famous controversy surrounding material stimuli and moral stimuli is rooted in this perspective with the deepest problems of the development of a personal conscience. As he himself expresses it: “Direct material stimulus and consciousness are contradictory terms in our concept… It is not about nuances; For the supporters of financial self-management, the direct material stimulus projected into the future is not opposed to the development of consciousness; for us, yes."

La Música en Cuba

Carpentier, Alejo, La Música en Cuba, México: Fondo de Cultura Económica, 1946.

De la cubierta del libro:

Desdeñando por regla general todas las informaciones dadas en libros incompletos o superficiales, Alejo Carpentier ha compuesto la historia de la música en Cuba con materiales de primera mano, reunidos a lo largo de pacientes y minuciosas búsquedas en archivos, colecciones y bibliotecas. El resultado de su empeñada labor ha sido este libro que Tierra Firme añade con satisfacción a su catálogo de temas americanos. Entre los numerosos hallazgos realizados por Carpentier durante la elaboración de esta obra hay que mencionar en primer término las partituras de Esteban Salas, que se daban por perdidas y que constituyen valiosísima aportación a la musicografía de América Latina.

Disdaining as a general rule all the information given in incomplete or superficial books, Alejo Carpentier has composed the history of music in Cuba with first-hand materials, gathered through patient and meticulous searches in archives, collections and libraries. The result of his hard work has been this book that Tierra Firme happily adds to its catalog of American subjects. Among the many discoveries made by Carpentier during the preparation of this work, we must first mention the scores of Esteban Salas, which were considered lost and that constitute a valuable contribution to the musicography of Latin America

Excerpt from the Introduction (Scope of the Bibliography):

The main characteristic of (the) listing which follows is its selectivity, both in the sense of relevance and quality. Rather than aim at completeness, I have endeavored to select those ítems from the multitude of publications which are more directly related to land tenure and reform issues and those that somehow represent significant, original, or important contributions to the literature.

Fécondité et Famille en Martinique: Faits, Attitudes et Opinions

Leridon, Henri, Elisabeth Zucker & Maïté Cazenave, Fécondité et famille en Martinique: faits, attitudes et opinions, Travaux et documents (Institut national d'études démographiques (France)); cahier no. 56. Paris: Presses universitaires de France, 1970.

Fécondité et famille en Martinique: faits, attitudes et opinions. Présentation d'un cahier de l'I.N.E.D, Population, Année 1970 25-1 pp. 125-128.

De l'introduction:

Afin de faire le point sur les problèmes liés à la fécondité, la préfecture de la Martinique a demandé à l'I.N.E.D., en liaison avec l'I.N.S.E.E., de mener un enquête spécifique. Cette enquête devait répondre à plusieurs objectifs; outre l'apport des données de fait sur la structure familiale, les types d'unions et le rythme des naissances, elle devait renseigner sur la connaissance que les Martiniquaises ont des méthodes de régulation des naissances, sur les attitudes à l'égard de la dimension de la famille et de l'utilisation des différents procédés contraceptifs, et sur la pratique des méthodes de régulation des naissances.
Cette sorte d'enquête se rattache aux études dites de "type C.A.P." - des mots connaissance (C), attitude (A) et pratique (P), tels qu'ils ont été définis plus haut - qui ont été faites dans plus de trente pays, le plus souvent à la demande des gouvernements désireux de définir une politique familiale adaptée aux conditions de leurs pays. Ces études ont eu le mérite de réfuter certains préjugés souvent répandus, et de remédier à l'insuffisance des renseignements fournis par les recensements et les statistiques de l'etat civil sur les comportements des familles en matière de procréation. Grâce à ces enquêtes, on dispose d'informations sur la variabilité des vœux d'une population quant à la dimension de la famille, sur les raisons qui poussent les familles à décider du nombre de leurs enfants et de l'echelonnement des naissances, ainsi que sur leur connaissance des méthodes traditionnelles et modernes de limitation des naissances et leur volonté de les utiliser.

Excerpt from introduction:

In order to take stock of the problems related to fertility, the prefecture of Martinique asked the I.N.E.D., in liaison with the I.N.S.E.E., to carry out a specific survey. This survey had to meet several objectives; in addition to providing factual data on family structure, types of unions and birth rate, it was to provide information on the knowledge that Martiniquan women have of birth control methods, on attitudes towards family size and the use of different contraceptive methods, and on the practice of birth control methods.
This type of survey is related to so-called "KAP type" studies - of the words knowledge (C), attitude (A) and practice (P), as they have been defined above - which have been made in more than thirty countries, most often at the request of governments wishing to define a family policy adapted to the conditions of their countries. These studies have had the merit of refuting certain often widespread prejudices, and of remedying the inadequacy of the information provided by censuses and vital statistics on the behavior of families with regard to procreation. Thanks to these surveys, we have information on the variability of the wishes of a population with regard to the size of the family, on the reasons which lead families to decide on the number of their children and the timing of births, as well as than on their knowledge of traditional and modern birth control methods and their willingness to use them.

Narrative of a Five Years Expedition Against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam

Stedman, John Gabriel, Narrative of a five years expedition against the revolted Negroes of Surinam, Ed. Rudolf van Lier, Amherst: U. of Massachusetts Press, 1971.

Reviewed by Gert Oostindie.

Landeg White’s Ph.D. thesis Stedman’s Narrative: Its Origins & Transformations.

Journal Article by Mario Klarer: Humanitarian Pornography: John Gabriel Stedman's "Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam".

John Gabriel Stedman (1744 – 7 March 1797) was a Dutch-born Scottish soldier who wrote The Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam (1796). This narrative covers his years in Suriname as a soldier in the Dutch military deployed to assist local troops fighting against groups of escaped slaves.[1] He first recorded his experiences in a personal diary that he later rewrote and expanded into the Narrative. The Narrative was a bestseller of the time and, with its firsthand depictions of slavery and other aspects of colonialism, became an important tool in the fledgling abolitionist movement. When compared with Stedman's personal diary, his published Narrative is a sanitized and romanticized version of Stedman's time in Surinam.

La Idea de la Federación Antillana en los Independentistas Puertorriqueños del Siglo XIX

Rama, Carlos M., La idea de la Federación Antillana en los independentistas puertorriqueños del siglo XIX, Río Piedras: Ediciones Librería Internacional, 1971.(firmado para el Dr. Thomas Mathews)

Del Prólogo del autor:

Disertando en el Paraninfo de la Universidad de Montevideo un personaje característico de la nueva América, el Dr. Ernesto (Che) Guevara decía: “Éramos pueblos aislados. ¿Por qué? Porque nos aislaban, sencillamente: porque siempre se dedicaban a hacer que nos ignoráranos unos a los otros. Por eso Artigas era desconocido en Cuba y Martí era desconocido en Uruguay. Por eso los héroes continentales no alcanzan esa magnitud real, esa magnitud de hombres de América que tienen, y se circunscribían a determinados pueblos. Por eso todavía en América tratan de discutir si es mas grande o menos grande, y a quien pertenecen San Martín o Bolívar, sin contar con que San Martín y Bolívar son hombres de América.” En la medida que la enseñanza superior se ha organizado recientemente en Puerto Rico, y todavía más recientemente ha comenzado a adquirir un sentido nacional, el cultivo de la historiografía en el país no es todavía muy amplio y para el observador se anotan carencias. Una de ellas, la escasa difusión de estudios que versen sobre los grandes personajes de su propia historia, inclusive considerándolos en su aspecto internacional. Así es el caso de Ramón Emeterio Betances y Eugenio María de Hostos a quienes toda América Latina debe considerar entre los grandes personajes de su común historia, auténticos hombres de América.

English translation:

Dr. Ernesto (Che) Guevara…, speaking in the Auditorium of the University of Montevideo, said: “We were isolated peoples. Why? Because they isolated us, simply: because they were always dedicated to making us ignore each other. That is why Artigas was unknown in Cuba and Martí was unknown in Uruguay. That is why the continental heroes do not reach that real magnitude, that magnitude of men from America that they have, and they were circumscribed to certain peoples. That is why in America they still try to discuss whether so and so is greater or less great, and to whom San Martín or Bolívar belong, without taking into account that (both) San Martín and Bolívar are men of America.” To the extent that higher education has recently been organized in Puerto Rico, and even more recently has begun to acquire a national meaning, the cultivation of historiography in the country is not yet very extensive and for the observer there are shortcomings. One of them, the scarce diffusion of studies that deal with the great figures of their own history, even considering them in their international aspect. This is the case of Ramon Emeterio Betances and Eugenio María de Hostos whom all of Latin America must consider among the great figures of their common history, authentic men of America.

Dr. Jaap van Soest was attached to the History Department of the University of the Netherlands Antilles at Curaçao. The following was machine-translated from Jaap van Soest Data Collection, University of Curaçao: “Between 1972 and 1980 I collected the research data that was processed in Oil as water: The Curacao economy in the first half of the twentieth century (Curacao 1976, Zutphen 1977), in Trustee of the Netherlands Antilles. A history of money, banking and the economy with special reference to the central Bank of the Netherlands Antilles 1828 – 6 February – 1978 (Curacao 1978, Zutphen 1978), and in smaller publications and articles. This data contained many figures, whether or not in series. They mainly concerned the period 1828 -1955; only a few reached beyond those limits. At a time when few researchers used computers, all those numbers were written down manually - a monk's work that can only be compared with the work that came after the turn of the century was necessary to convert all those notes into a digitally accessible form. In total, in this collection now contains 178 tables with a total of 2091 series of numbers. Some series are special because of their length or detail, others show (sometimes large) gaps. The gaps may be due to lack of source material; in a series from 1830 to 1960, for example, no climate data are available for the period 1861-1894. There may also have been a change in the system of working or reporting, as is often the case with the banks. But gaps can also due to the limited time available for the study. In the latter case, thirty years later, no attempts were made to add the series to fill. I would like to invite every user of this material to complete it, so that gradually an increasing corpus of research data becomes available for general usage. With a view to such a future expansion, the tables with double numbers numbered. Unless otherwise stated, the figures are derived from annual reports, such as those published by the governor annually to the Minister of the Colonies (here referred to simply as Colonial Report, even though it was renamed later); appeared with the Colonial Report no statistical appendices between 1939 and 1943. Furthermore, there are the reports that local companies made for their owners locally or their superiors in the Netherlands. Insofar as these reports or figures are not publicly available, the rightholders receive permission to disclose. A detailed account of the sources can be found in Oil as water pags. 666-675, and additionally in Trustee pages XI and 374.

History of Saba

Hartog, Johannes, History of Saba, Saba: Van Guilder, 1975.

Saba is a Caribbean island which is the smallest special municipality (officially “public body”) of the Netherlands. It consists largely of the potentially active volcano Mount Scenery, which at 887 metres (2,910 ft) is the highest point of the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands. The island lies in the northern Leeward Islands portion of the West Indies, southeast of the Virgin Islands. Together with Bonaire and Sint Eustatius it forms the BES islands.

Las Antillas para los Antillanos

Emeterio Betances, Ramón, Las Antillas para los antillanos, Prologo, selección, traducciones y notas del Doctor Carlos M. Rama, San Juan, Puerto Rico: Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, 1975.

The Antillean Confederation was the vehement idea of Ramón Emeterio Betances about the need for natives of the Caribbean to unite into a regional entity that would seek to preserve the sovereignty and well-being of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. Supporters of the idea wanted to free Cuba and Puerto Rico, later uniting them with the Dominican Republic, creating a united Spanish Caribbean nation, an idea that had a significant level of support in these islands during the mid-late 1800s. Some supporters even wanted to include Haiti or Colombia into this union, however this was not supported by all.

Regionalization of Health Services: The Puerto Rican Experience

Arbona, Guillermo, & Annette B. Ramírez de Arellano, Regionalization of Health Services: The Puerto Rican Experience, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1978.

From the cover:

Puerto Rico began implementing a regional scheme of health services more than thirty years ago. This monograph describes the structural and functional aspects of this effort, including the construction of health facilities of graded complexity, the delineation of tiers of authority and responsibility, and the creation of linkages between institutions to foster the flow of patients, personnel and resources among the different levels. Inevitably, the regionalization process involved overcoming organizational inertia and fighting against professional parochialism, entrenched interests, and highly prized political values. The monograph thus stresses the milieu within which changes took place, and the methods employed – from persuasion to administrative fiat – to bring them about.

Las Américas Negras: Las Civilizaciones Africanas en el Nuevo Mundo

Les Amériques noires. Les civilisations africaines dans le Nouveau Monde reseñado en el Journal de la Société des Américanistes Vol. 57 (1968).

De la cubierta:

Las Américas Negras es un apasionante estudio de las diversas etapas recorridas por esas culturas – trasplantadas por la fuerza y modificadas en su relación con el mundo circundante – desde las “naciones” de la época de la esclavitud (toleradas por los blancos o constituidas por cimarrones en la libertad de las selvas y de los montes) hasta la época actual. Roger Bastide, profesor de la Sorbona, sociólogo y etnólogo de prestigio mundial, aporta gran cantidad de datos – muchos de ellos recogidos en el Brasil y el Caribe – acerca del papel desempeñado en esta dolorosa adaptación por las religiones (bien sean fieles a los modelos ancestrales, como la Yoruba, o fruto de multiples influencias, como el Vodú haitiano), los ritos y el folclore. El libro concluye con una panorámica de las nuevas perspectivas que la transformación industrial abre a las supervivencias africanas en América. Si bien la progresiva desaparición de las comunidades campesinas, la incorporación de los negros a las ciudades y la lucha por la igualdad de derechos implica el abandono de viejas herencias y la occidentalización, la ideología de la “negritud” contribuirá a la cohesión cultural de los descendientes de los antiguos esclavos y proyectará la imagen de un Africa mítica en el mundo excesivamente racionalizado y utilitario de los blancos.

Roger Bastide (Nîmes, 1 April 1898 – Maisons-Laffitte, 10 April 1974) was a French sociologist and anthropologist, specialist in sociology and Brazilian literatura. He was raised as a Protestant and studied philosophy in France, developing at the same time an interest for sociological issues. His first sociological field research, in 1930–31, was about immigrants from Armenia to Valence, France. As scholars later noticed, already in his first works about the Armenians he was interested in how the memory of a different culture survives when a group of people moves to a faraway land, a theme that will become crucial in his studies of African populations in Brazil. In 1938, the University of São Paulo asked him to succeed Claude Lévi-Strauss in its chair of Sociology. He remained in Brazil until 1957, and in 1958 moved back to France, where he became a professor of Sociology of religion at the Sorbonne University. In 1958, shortly before starting his course at the Sorbonne, Bastide had made his first research trip to Africa, exploring the traditional religions of Dahomey and Nigeria. Bastide devoted the last part of his career to social psychology. In 1959, he created in Paris the Center for Social Psychiatry. After the death of Georges Gurvitch in 1965, he also became the director of the Paris Center for the Sociology of Knowledge.

The People's Progressive Party /Civic (PPP/C) is a centre-left to left-leaning political party in Guyana. (...) The PPP was founded on 1 January 1950 as a merger of the British Guiana Labour Party led by Forbes Burnham and the Political Affairs Committee led by Cheddi Jagan,[5] and was the first mass party in the country. It was initially a multi-ethnic party supported by workers and intellectuals.[6] The party held its first congress on 1 April 1951. Its third congress was held in 1953, with Burnham unsuccessfully seeking to become party leader.[7] The party went on to win the 1953 elections, taking 18 of the 24 elected seats in the House of Assembly, resulting in Jagan becoming Chief Minister.

From the cover:

The history of family planning in Puerto Rico stretches over more than half a century. Given the island’s high density, relative poverty, and dramatic population growth, the relationship of people to resources has been a key issue, dominating other concerns and reflecting profound social tensions, antagonisms, and fears. In Colonialism, Catholicism, and Contraception, Annette Ramírez de Arellano and Conrad Seipp analyze the tortuous course that Puerto Rico has followed in evolving a population policy. They describe the many steps involved in first broaching the subject of birth control and establishing the relevance of contraception. They find that both proponents and opponents of birth control were passionate in their convictions and pursued their goals with evangelical zeal. Between 1940 and 1960, Puerto Rico underwent profound changes; these included the creation of a new machinery of government, industrialization, mass emigration, and a redefinition of the island’s relationship with the United States. With these transformations as a backdrop, the authors discuss Puerto Rico’s role as a laboratory for testing different birth control methods and the inevitable conflicts between church and state. Also treated are the island’s rapid economic growth, shifting values, and changes in the position of women in society. Using the history of contraception as a focus, Ramírez de Arellano and Seipp assess Puerto Rican society today and anticipate the island’s prospects and potential.
