El Desarrollo Económico y la Distribución del Ingreso en Puerto Rico

Andic, Fuat M., El Desarrollo Económico y la Distribución del Ingreso en Puerto Rico, San Juan: Banco Gubernamental de Fomento para Puerto Rico, 1964.

Del Prefacio:

Esta monografía constituye en gran medida, aunque no totalmente, una versión abreviada de nuestro libro “The Distribution of Family Incomes in Puerto Rico”, publicado en ingles por el Instituto de Estudios del Caribe. Originalmente bregamos con los aspectos teóricos del problema del desarrollo económico y la desigualdad de ingresos, así como con la distribución del ingreso familiar en Puerto Rico. En esta monografía se analiza el caso de Puerto Rico exclusivamente, pero con adiciones sustanciales en dos aspectos: primero, las series estadísticas del trabajo original, que cubrían hasta los años de 1955 o 1957, han sido traídas hasta el 1960. Segundo, hemos añadido un nuevo capítulo dedicado al análisis de la distribución de los ingresos del grupo trabajador civil. Este capítulo se basa en la ponencia que presentamos en Jamaica en abril de 1964, cuyo texto ha sido publicado por el Instituto de Estudios del Caribe en “Proceedings of the Second Conference of Caribbean Scholars.”

Intervention and Economic Penetration: The Case of the Dominican Republic

Moreno, José A., Intervention and Economic Penetration: The Case of the Dominican Republic, CLAS Occasional Paper, No. 13, January, 1976.

From the author’s introduction:

I will analyze the various strategies that have been used by the American government since 1966 to achieve these objectives within a general theory of dependence (Frank, 1969; Cardoso, 1971). It is my intention to demonstrate that both American foreign aid and military assistance to the Dominican Republic were channeled toward the stabilization and perpetuation in power of the oligarchic groups, and the prevention and suppression of a revolutionary uprising. The implementation of such policy would prevent the emergence in the Caribbean of governments hostile to the U.S. and create for American private interests a buffer zone for economic exploitation near home. Thus economic penetration provided profits for American investors, and furnished economic motivations for future American interventionist policies.

The East Indian Indenture in Trinidad

Weller, Judith Ann, The East Indian Indenture in Trinidad, Rio Piedras: Institute of Caribbean Studies (Monograph Series, n. 4). 1968.

Dr. Thomas G. Mathews:

Dr. Weller’s monograph is an historical approach to East Indian indenture from 1845 to 1917. It covers, among other topics, the system of original recruitment, the passage overseas, the character of migrant life in the West Indian host societies, British, Indian and local policies affecting the indentured worker, and the prolonged campaign for the abolition of the system. It is altogether an attempt to answer some of the questions posed with reference to the migration of alien peoples from the Old World to the New.

An Analysis of Jamaica's Fiscal Budget (1974-1983): with special reference to the impact of the bauxite levy

Davies, Omar, An Analysis of Jamaica's Fiscal Budget (1974-1983): with special reference to the impact of the bauxite levy, Mona Kingston: University of the West Indies, 1984.

From the Preface:

The paper is based on a presentation made to an International Seminar on Mineral Resources Taxation with Reflections on the Jamaican Bauxite Production Levy, held in Kingston in September 1984. The seminar was arranged by the Jamaica Bauxite Institute to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Government of Jamaica’s imposition of the Bauxite levy on the transnational companies involved in the industry in Jamaica.
(…)
The study’s general objective is to analyze the growth and structure of Jamaica’s Fiscal Budget over the ten year period 1974 – 1983 (the first ten years of the levy’s existence) and in particular to examine the impact of the levy earnings on the Government’s fiscal operations. This is achieved by splitting the budget into Recurrent and Capital and analyzing expenditure patterns and revenue inflows in both current and constant dollars. The general conclusion is that, although there was some general scope for marginal adjustments, the combination of factors such as limited revenue inflows and rapidly increasing debt servicing requirements provided successive governments with little room for maneuver.

The Birth of Self-Government for Jamaica and the Jamaica Progressive League, 1937-1944

McFarlane, W.G., The Birth of Self-Government for Jamaica and the Jamaica Progressive League, 1937-1944, Kingston: W.G. McFarlane, 1957.

From the Introductory Note:

In the earliest days of the self government movement, Walter G. McFarlane played an important part by organizing a branch of the Jamaican Progressive League in Kingston. While others talked, he acted, though faced with many serious difficulties. The parent league had been formed in New York on September 1, 1936, and by December 6, the following year Mr. McFarlane’s efforts came to a head. After having been driven from the North Street Moravian Church by hoodlums the week before, he and six others founded the branch by means of a resolution passed in the office of Dr. W.S. Duhaney Sr. on Duke Street, Kingston.

Architecture of Parish Churches in Puerto Rico / La Arquitectura de Templos Parroquiales de Puerto Rico

Marvel, Thomas S., & María Luisa Moreno, Architecture of Parish Churches in Puerto Rico, La Arquitectura de Templos Parroquiales de Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras: Editorial de la Universidad de Puerto Rico, 1984.

Limited preview at Google Books.

From the English language introduction:

The present study is limited to the parish churches which form part of the original urban centers of the towns in Puerto Rico. These churches have a long tradition. They have been, on the one hand, the most important religious structures in town and, on the other, usually the buildings of greatest distinction.
(…)
The purpose of this book is to analyze the churches in terms of their spatial organization, style, structural systems, functions, and historical context. This study should provide the reader with an understanding of the great importance which the parish churches have had within the history of architecture in Puerto Rico.

La Hora de la Independencia

Movimiento Pro-Independencia de Puerto Rico, La Hora de la Independencia, Tesis Política MPI, publicado por la Misión Nacional del Movimiento Pro Independencia de Puerto Rico, s.f.

De la Historia de la Tesis Política…:

El Movimiento Pro-Independencia de Puerto Rico surgió en un momento de crisis para el independentismo puertorriqueño, cuando resultaba ya inminente el desastre en las urnas del Partido Independentista. Al perder este su franquicia electoral en los comicios coloniales de 1960, aquellos independentistas que no se sintieron aplastados por el desaliento y la frustración, aquellos cuyo espíritu de lucha había logrado sobrevivir lo que aparecía en el momento como catástrofe insuperable, encontraron en el recién fundado Movimiento Pro-Independencia un frente unido para mantener en militancia el ideal de la Patria libre.

Obituario.

Franklin Franco Pichardo (nació el 14 de noviembre de 1936 en Santiago de los Caballeros, República Dominicana, murió el 15 de junio de 2013) en Santo Domingo, República Dominicana fue historiador, sociólogo, profesor y político dominicano .A temprana edad tuvo que exiliarse del país, debido a su repudio a la tiranía de Trujillo y la persecución desatada por dicho régimen en su contra. Durante este exilio residió en Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Cuba, Estados Unidos y México.

The Dominican Communist Party (Spanish: Partido Comunista Dominicano) was a political party in the Dominican Republic. The party was founded in 1944 under the name Dominican Revolutionary Democratic Party. The party worked under the name Dominican Popular Socialist Party 1946-1965. In August 1965 the name was again changed, to Dominican Communist Party. The party worked in illegality during extended periods. It was banned in 1947 was outlawed, and was subjected to brutal repression which resulted in the loss of several prominent figures. The killed party cadres included one of the founders of the party, F. Valdez. In June 1955 the party held a conference, which took the nature of the party congress. The congress adopted the party constitution, party programme and an elected leadership. In June 1959 the party took part in an armed uprising against the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. In June 1960 a party conference was organized, which discussed the situation in the country and identified the challenges the party to strengthen the struggle against government. The conference expressed strong support for the Cuban revolution.

A Historical Account of St. Thomas, W.I.

Knox, John P., A Historical Account of St. Thomas, W.I., New York: Charles Scribner, 1852.

Available online.

From the Wikipedia entry of Edward Wilmot Blyden:

According to the historian Hollis R. Lynch, in 1845 Blyden met the Reverend John P. Knox, a white American, who became pastor of the St. Thomas Protestant Dutch Reformed Church. Blyden and his family lived near the church, and Knox was impressed with the studious, intelligent boy. Knox became his mentor, encouraging Blyden's considerable aptitude for oratory and literature. Mainly because of his close association with Knox, the young Blyden decided to become a minister, which his parents encouraged. In May 1850, Blyden, accompanied by Reverend Knox's wife, went to the United States to enroll in Rutgers Theological College, Knox's alma mater. He was refused admission due to his race. Efforts to enroll him in two other theological colleges also failed. Knox encouraged Blyden to go to Liberia and the colony set up by the American Colonization Society (ACS), where he thought Blyden would be able to use his talents.

The U.S. Virgin Islands and the Sea

Beller, William S., [Chairman], The U.S. Virgin Islands and the Sea, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas: Government of the Virgin Islands Marine Resources Council, October 30, 1970.

See ad in the August 1, 1970, issue of The Daily News.

From the letter of the Advisory Committee Chairman to the Government Secretary and Chairman of the Marine Resources Council:

This report was written in response to the Council’s request of last April, when it asked for a study of marine affairs in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We felt that a report that offers recommendations on a matter as vital as the future of the marine environment would have to reflect the experience and desires of some of the most informed people on the Islands. We therefore brought together to write this report more than one hundred Virgin Islanders who have special knowledge of the relations of the islands to the sea.

Excerpts from the Preparatory Conference – Jamaica; Pacem in Maribus IV

Caribbean Study Project, Excerpts from the Preparatory Conference – Jamaica, October 1972, Pacem in Maribus IV. International Ocean Institute at the Royal University of Malta, Malta, 1973.

From Chairman Sir Edgerton Richardson:

Before proceeding, it can bear repetition to say that our meeting is not an inter-Governmental Conference; neither is it sponsored by the Government of Jamaica. Each of the participants speaks in an individual, not a representative capacity. Our discussions will be technical as far as that is possible. In my personal opinion our study project is being launched at a very auspicious time in the political life of the western hemisphere. When political leaders have got together and produced the kind of declaration which Santo Domingo represents, calling for a close and continuous cooperation on the part of all coastal islands of the Caribbean, then it seems to me that the stage is already set to take one step beyond. Although a scientific and technical project, such as this one, tries to preserve the maximum degree of objectivity, it cannot be denied that the thrust of the presentations is toward a serious attempt to discover whether or not joint management, exploitation and control of the resources of this part of the ocean is possible.
