From the Foreword by Leito, B. M., Governor of the Netherlands Antilles:
<blockquote>Un Pueblo Na Kaminda – a People on the Move: an apt title for a study of the evolution of the population of the island of Curaçao from the coming of the first settlers from overseas to its present day composition, with a look into the future. I consider this study by Dr. René Römer so important because it gives the reader an idea of the genesis of our remarkable, extremely mixed society. In my opinion, variety is perhaps the most typical feature of the society of Curaçao: this variety is expressed in the different shades of skin colour, the other racial characteristics, religious confessions, the many languages spoken by groups and families, and many other aspects of social life on the island.</blockquote>

The title is the original Dutch of the dissertation, and its Papiamentu translation.

From the Foreword:
<blockquote>Educational trends throughout the world hold wider and deeper significance for American education today than in any previous period of our country. Thousands upon thousands of foreign students from many nations are enrolled each year in American colleges and universities. Increasingly the vital part which education contributes to the development of society is being recognized by peoples and their governments. The present bulletin is another in the Office of Education's long established series on education in other countries. This bulletin deals with some of the most apparent educational trends at the present time in European affiliated areas of the Caribbean. These include the British, Netherlands, and French affiliated areas. The educational ties of these areas with the United States add importance and interest to such a study. To cite just one example, more than 1,400 students from the British Caribbean areas alone were enrolled in institutions of higher learning in the United States during the 1958-59 school year, according to published statistics of the privately supported Institute of International Education. Information in this bulletin is based in considerable part on direct observation by the author of educational institutions and practices, and on discussions with educational and other specialists, in certain of the Caribbean areas during the latter part of 1958. These observations and discussions were supplemented by extensive study of published source materials and other writings on the area generally and its educational patterns and facilities. A selected bibliography is included. Two appendixes present: (1) Summary of Recommendations of the Regional Conference on the Training of Teachers in the British Caribbean, 1957; and (2) Summary of Principal Recommendations of the Mission on Higher Technical Education in the British Caribbean. Individual chapters contain footnotes.</blockquote><br/><br/>

N° 22, 1971.<br/><br/>
De la Préface:
<blockquote>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. </blockquote><br/><br/>Traduction:
<blockquote>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 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_Monarchy">July Monarchy</a>. 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. </blockquote>

From the Forword:
<blockquote>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.</blockquote>

From the Introduction:
<blockquote>Since 1977 when they began arriving in Florida in significant numbers, Haitian immigrants have had an impact on the American conscience rarely matched by the migrations of any other group. The heartrending spectacle in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1981/10/27/us/33-haitians-drown-as-boat-capsizes-off-florida.html">1981</a> of 33 Haitians drowning after their 25-foot homemade boat capsized within 50 yards of the shores of the affluent community of Hillsboro Beach, Florida, was followed on network televisión by other stories of the tragedies of the Haitian boat people. The publicity resulted in positive action by many U.S. civic groups.</blockquote><br/><br/>

Accordingly the Girvan family, working with Kari Levitt and Judith Wedderburn, has digitized all 14 issues of this postcolonial gem of a publication, (…) “Our thoughts are that a digital publication is a contemporary gesture in the spirit and scope of The New World community, residing in a space with open access to all,” said the Girvan family’s statement. Norman Girvan, along with Lloyd Best, George Beckford and other academic activists had launched the journal in the early 60s. A valuable archive of articles on everything from the geopolitics of the Anglophone Caribbean region to agriculture in China, the sugar industry, Sports, Visual Arts, Literature, Caribbean integration the journal represented in its pages the “birth, flourishing and eventual demise of one of the region’s most influential intellectual movements,” the New World Group.<br/><br/>

From the <a href="https://www.historicstkitts.kn/people/bronte-agatha-welsh">National Archives</a>:
<blockquote> Bronte Agatha Welsh was born in Challengers Village on the 31st December 1918, the first daughter of Evan and Annie Welsh and the second of their six children. Evan was a mason and Anne a seamstress so Bronte and her brothers and sisters grew up in a household were industry was highly valued. (…) For about three years she engaged in private teaching, but her true love was nursing. She was able to enter the profession at the age of nineteen. For a short while she stopped nursing to work in a pharmacy where she learnt much that would later be of use. In 1942 Welsh joined the staff of the Cunningham Hospital where, for three years she worked as a general nurse until she obtained her certificate in General Nursing and Midwifery and attained the rank of staff nurse. She then branched off into Public Health or Preventive Nursing. She became the first Public Health Nurse to be recognised in St. Kitts.</blockquote><br/><br/>
From <a href="https://herstoryprincess.wordpress.com/social/bronte-welch/">HerStory</a>:
<blockquote> In 1971, Welsh retired from the public service and moved to the US Virgin Islands. The elderly nurse published a booklet entitled Nursing – A Calling or a Career?, which narrated the history and development of nursing and women’s rights in St. Kitts and Nevis. The proceeds from selling this booklet assisted the Red Cross in buying a van for transporting the physically challenged.</blockquote>
