Bibliografía de las Plantaciones

Thompson, E.T., Bibliografía de las plantaciones, Washington D.C.: Unión Panamericana, 1957.

Del Prefacio:

En el curso del presente año la Unión Panamericana, en colaboración con el Gobierno de Puerto Rico y el Programa de investigación y adiestramiento para el estudio del hombre en el trópico de la Universidad de Columbia, organizó un Seminario sobre las plantaciones del Nuevo Mundo.
(…)
Durante la preparación del Seminario tuvimos conocimiento de que el doctor Edgar T. Thompson, que ha dedicado largos años de su vida al estudio de las plantaciones, había reunido una extensa bibliografía sobre el tema, todavía inédita. Los organizadores del Seminario pensaron que podían prestar un breve servicio haciendo accesible este excelente instrumento de trabajo a los especialistas interesados en el estudio de las plantaciones.

Book Reviews.

Gambage / by Earl Augustus & others

Augustus, Earle, Gambage / by Earl Augustus & others, Trinidad & Tobago: University of West Indies, 1966.

From the Foreword:

Every type of society is in a constant state of change…
One consequence of this change is the rapid disappearance of many of our legacies. One of these legacies is the stories of bygone days. A team of young men led by Mr. Earl Augustus is attempting to record and preserve what is left of these tales. This volume is the first of the series of five to be compiled by the team and published by the U.W.I. Extra-Mural Department. I wish to recommend the book especially for children but hope that adults will also find the stories interesting.

The Guardian of Boston: William Monroe Trotter

Fox, Stephen R., The Guardian of Boston: William Monroe Trotter, New York: Atheneum, 1971.

Reviewed in The New England Quarterly © 1970.

William Monroe Trotter (sometimes just Monroe Trotter, April 7, 1872 – April 7, 1934) was a newspaper editor and real estate businessman based in Boston, Massachusetts, and an activist for African-American civil rights. He was an early opponent of the accommodationist race policies of Booker T. Washington, and in 1901 founded the Boston Guardian, an independent African-American newspaper, as a vehicle to express that opposition. Active in protest movements for civil rights throughout the 1900s and 1910s, he also revealed some of the differences within the African-American community. He contributed to the formation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

Wilson Harris: A Philosophical Approach

James, C. L. R., Wilson Harris: A Philosophical Approach, Trinidad & Tobago: University of West Indies, 19??.

Sir Theodore Wilson Harris (born 24 March 1921) is a Guyanese writer. He initially wrote poetry, but has since become a well-known novelist and essayist. His writing style is often said to be abstract and densely metaphorical, and his subject matter wide-ranging. Harris is considered one of the most original and innovative voices in postwar literature in English.
(…)
Literary critics have stated that although reading Harris's work is challenging, it is rewarding in many ways. Harris has been admired for his exploration of the themes of conquest and colonization as well as the struggles of colonized peoples. Readers have commented that his novels are an attempt to express truths about the way people experience reality through the lens of the imagination. Harris has been faulted for his novels that have often nonlinear plot lines, and for his preference of internal perceptions over external realities.

Social Research has its origins in the New School's historic effort to provide intellectuals safe haven as the Nazis began to threaten Jewish scholars prior to the onset of WWII. This group of rescued scholars, known as the University in Exile, launched Social Research: An International Quarterly of the Political and Social Sciences in 1934 on the core conviction that every true university must have its own distinct public voice.
