Independence: A Realistic Solution

Berríos Martínez, Rubén, “Independence: A Realistic Solution”, Mimeo [This is the last chapter of the thesis presented by Mr. Rubén A. Berríos Martínez for the Degree of LLB in the Yale Law School], N.D.

Rubén Ángel Berríos Martínez (born June 21, 1939) is a Puerto Rican politician, international law attorney, writer, and current president of the Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP). A former three-time senator, Berríos is a perennial PIP candidate for Governor of Puerto Rico. He led the Navy–Culebra protests that succeeded in the United States Navy abandoning the use of the Puerto Rican island of Culebra for military exercises and was a leader for the Cause of Vieques.

Los abolicionistas en Puerto Rico & El papel histórico y social de la mujer en el Caribe hispánico con énfasis en Puerto Rico

Figueroa, Dra. Loida, “Los abolicionistas en Puerto Rico” & “El papel histórico y social de la mujer en el Caribe hispánico con énfasis en Puerto Rico”

Dra. Loida Figueroa: Por muchos años se distinguió como profesora de Historia en la Universidad de Puerto Rico en Mayagüez. Fue una de las primeras mujeres en escribir un libro sobre historia puertorriqueña. Su “Breve historia de Puerto Rico” se publicó en 1968 y fue reeditado en varias ocasiones. (…) En 1957 obtuvo una plaza de profesora en el Colegio de Agricultura y Artes Mecánicas (CAAM, luego UPR en Mayagüez), y comenzó a laborar en la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales. En Mayagüez se integró al Comité del PIP. Conoció a Rafael Cancel Rodríguez, Santiago Mari, Lidia Barreto, Juan Mari Brás y otros; con ellos fue partidaria de transformaciones en el Partido. Sin embargo, la negación al cambio en el PIP, contribuyó a que Figueroa y los otros independentistas mencionados, entre otros, en 1959 fundaran el Movimiento Pro Independencia (MPI). Este movimiento desarrolló una campaña más combativa que el PIP y de crítica abierta al Gobierno.

Papers from the XIV Conference of the Association of Caribbean Historians, Barbados, 1982

Papers from the XIV Conference of the Association of Caribbean Historians, Barbados, 1982.

The origin of the Association of Caribbean Historians (ACH) is rooted in discussions on collaboration across the region initiated by Jacques Adelaide-Merlande of Guadeloupe with colleagues in the University of the West Indies (UWI). In April 1969, Jacques invited UWI historians to participate in a colloquium on “From Slavery to Emancipation.” Out of the subsequent discussion, first, between Jacques and Woodville Marshall, Carl Campbell and Neville Hall and, later, inside the UWI department of history, the UWI historians organized the second conference at UWI, Cave Hill, Barbados in April 1970.

Papers from the VIII Congress of the Association of Caribbean Historians, Martinique (D.O.M.), 1976.

The Association of Caribbean Historians (ACH) is an independent, non-profit, professional organization devoted to the promotion of Caribbean history from a multidisciplinary, pan-Caribbean perspective, and is the primary association for scholarly and public historians working in the field. Initially formed from a 1969 colloquium under the leadership of Francophone scholar Jacques Adélaïde-Merlande. In 1973, the ACH was formed. Since then, the organization has grown to several hundred members around the globe.

Does Europe Still Stop at the Pyrenees? or Does Latin America Begin There?: Iberia, Latin America, and the Second Enlargement of the European Community

Wiarda, Howard J., Does Europe Still Stop at the Pyrenees? or Does Latin America Begin There?: Iberia, Latin America, and the Second Enlargement of the European Community, Occasional Papers Series No. 2, The Center for Hemispheric Studies: American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, 1981.

Reviewed by Dr. Cecile-Marie Sastre, Historian and Archaeologist:

Spain and Portugal, which together comprise the Iberian Peninsula, form part of the European continent and contain one of the richest pre-historic, Celtic, Roman, Visigothic, Moorish, Medieval and Renaissance traditions of the whole of Europe. To suggest that Latin America begins in Iberia is to deny the peninsula its rightful place in European History. Such a suggestion is akin to saying that the United States of America, which includes African-American and Native American citizens, as well as people from all over the world, is a pure extension of England. The ancient and Medieval traditions of Iberia have no connection to the Americas and it is this formative period that defines the peninsula within the context of European history. There is no denying that Spain and Portugal gave Latin America its language, religion and culture. But in America, Iberian traditions were adapted to fit the world view of the native populations. In addition the colonizers that settled there adopted natives traditions, thereby transforming to some degree their own Iberian culture. Naturally, native products such as tomatoes, tobacco, corn and potatoes changed forever the cuisine of Iberia, but so did these crops change the eating habits of Great Britain, Ireland, the United States and other parts of the world. The potato is native to the Andes Mountains of South America. Shall we then say that Ireland, which adopted the tuber wholeheartedly, was an extension of Latin America? Equating Iberia with its Latin American ex-colonies can only be done by someone who is ignorant of Spanish and Portuguese history and who has succumbed to the North American penchant for viewing Iberia through a Latin American lens. A lens crafted from Anglo-American stereotypes of what they perceive exists south of the border.

Les Problèmes Antillais devant l'opinion Bordelaise, 1830-1838

Achéen, René, Les problèmes antillais devant l'opinion bordelaise 1830-1838, C.E.R.A.G Centre d'Etudes Régionales des Antilles-Guyane. N° 22, 1971.

De la Préface:

Monsieur René Achéen présente une étude reposant sur une analyse minutieuse et methodique de la presse bordelaise devant les problèmes antillais au début de la Monarchie de Juillet. Les Antilles servent de réflecteur à l'analyse d'une opinion qui concerne principalement la bourgeoisie bordelaise. Les sources de l'histoire des Antilles ne sont pas seulement très diverses, elles sont aussi très dispersées. Sans parler des documents conservés aux Antilles, on en trouve aux Archives Nationales, notament pour le XIXe siècle, les dossiers personnels des fonctionnaires, mais aussi dans les Archives départementales des régions de la façade atlantique, à Bordeaux, à la Rochelle, à Nantes; dans les Archives des Chambres de Commerce ou dans les bibliothèques de ces villes, dans la correspondance (inégalement conservé et inégalement accessible) de maisons de commerce françaises mais aussi anglaises, danoises ou hollandaises. Enfin, la presse de la France métropolitaine, et plus particulièrement celle des grands ports est une source de connaissance, tout autant que la presse antillaise, bien que sous un autre aspect. L'image des Antilles dans l'opinion dirigeante française a contribué indirectement à l'histoire des Antilles, dont l'évolution était étroitement liée aux décisions parlementaires et ministérielles françaises. C'est une contribution à la connaissance de cette opinion qu'apporte M. Achéen.

Traduction:

Mr. René Achéen presents a study based on a meticulous and methodical analysis of the Bordeaux press in the face of the West Indian problems at the beginning of the July Monarchy. The West Indies serve as a reflector for the analysis of an opinion that mainly concerns the Bordeaux bourgeoisie. The sources of the history of the West Indies are not only very diverse, they are also very dispersed. Not to mention the documents kept in the West Indies, there are some in the National Archives, notably for the 19th century, the personal files of civil servants, but also in the Departmental Archives of the regions of the Atlantic coast, in Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Nantes; in the Archives of the Chambers of Commerce or in the libraries of these cities, in the correspondence (unequally preserved and unequally accessible) of French but also English, Danish or Dutch trading houses. Finally, the press of metropolitan France, and more particularly that of the major ports, is a source of knowledge, just as much as the West Indian press, although in another aspect. The image of the West Indies in French ruling opinion contributed indirectly to the history of the West Indies, the evolution of which was closely linked to French parliamentary and ministerial decisions. It is a contribution to the knowledge of this opinion that Mr. Acheen makes.

The Caribbean Sugar Industry: A Select Bibliography

Wilkinson, Audine, (compiler) The Caribbean Sugar Industry: A Select Bibliography, Occasional bibliography series no. 4, Cave Hill, Barbados: Institute of Social and Economic Research, University of the West Indies, May 1976.

From the Forword:

Sugar has been the single most important producto emerging from the Caribbean in its 480-odd years of recorded history. From the time of the production of this crop for export in 1640 in Barbados the industry has bulked large in the economy of the various territories in which it was grown. Sugar has been the mainstay of a large number of islands such as Barbados, St. Kitts and Antigua and the leading sector for centuries in others such as Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico. It has been the cause of major demographic and social changes in the región. The “sugar revolution” of the 17th century saw the large-scale introduction of Africans into the Caribbean and the long centuries of African slavery. The period after 1834 witnessed a crisis in the industry and the consequent importation of large numbers of East Indian and other indentured labourers into British and French colonies, thus altering the racial balance in these areas.

Amargo Café: Los Pequeños y Medianos Caficultores de Utuado en la Segunda Mitad del Siglo XIX

Picó, S.J., Fernando, Amargo café: Los pequeños y medianos caficultores de Utuado en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, Río Piedras: Ediciones Huracán, 1981.

Reseñado en The American Historical Review, Volume 87, Issue 5.

De la portada:

Amargo café es la crónica de las peripecias y avatares de los pequeños y medianos productores de café en la región de Utuado, a mediados del siglo XIX. “Esta crónica de un mundo de simientes y crianzas, de cosechas y lunas nuevas, de fiestas de acabe y obligaciones hipotecarias – dice Picó – no hará que ningún estudiante, desvelado en vísperas de un examen, sueñe con tener diez cuerdas de cafetal y dos docenas de gallinas inglesas. Pero quizás le haga comprender que la historia de nuestro pueblo tiene su eje, no en los ataques al Morro, o en los tratados hechos en capitales europeas, sino en el esfuerzo tesonero de miles de criollos que batallaron de día a día con terrones y bejucos, y así forjaron un pueblo.

The Work of the Caribbean Commission:

On December 20, 1945 the Caribbean Commission replaced the Anglo-American Caribbean Commission, which had been in operation in the Caribbean region since 1942. The Anglo-American Commission was established on March 9, 1942 for the purpose of encouraging and strengthening social and economic co-operation between the United States of America, its territories and bases in the Caribbean area and the United Kingdom and the British West Indian Colonies. The Commission consisted of three members appointed by the United States Government and three members appointed by the United Kingdom Secretary of State for the Colonies. They were charged to concern themselves primarily with matters pertaining to labour, agriculture, housing, health, education, social welfare, finance, economics and related subjects.
