Ponencias del Segundo Encuentro de Historiadores Latinoamericanos

Ponencias del Segundo Encuentro de Historiadores Latinoamericanos, del 20 al 26 de marzo de 1977 en Caracas, organizado por la Escuela de Historia de la Universidad Central de Venezuela.

Asociación de Historiadores Latinoamericanos y del Caribe (ADHILAC):

Gracias a las gestiones de los organizadores de la reunión fundacional en México, se consiguió desarrollar un II Encuentro, del 20 al 26 de marzo de 1977 en Caracas, organizado por la Escuela de Historia de la Universidad Central de Venezuela, con el respaldo de la Universidad del Zulia y del gobierno venezolano. Alrededor de cuatrocientos delegados y observadores de diferentes países, incluyendo participantes del Caribe –entre ellos, los ya desaparecidos historiadores Manuel Moreno Fraginals y Francisco Pérez Guzmán, los primeros cubanos en incorporarse a las actividades de ADHILAC- se dieron cita en la capital venezolana. Las ponencias de este congreso, celebrado en la Sala de Armas del Círculo Militar de Caracas, fueron después editadas por los organizadores venezolanos encabezados por Germán Carrera Damas y Eduardo Arcila Farías.

Thanks to the efforts of the organizers of the founding meeting of ADHILAC (the Association of Latin American and Caribbean Historians) in Mexico, a Second Meeting was held, from March 20 to 26, 1977 in Caracas, organized by the School of History of the Central University of Venezuela, with the support of the University of Zulia and the Venezuelan government. Around four hundred delegates and observers from different countries, including participants from the Caribbean – among them, the now deceased historians Manuel Moreno Fraginals and Francisco Pérez Guzmán, the first Cubans to join ADHILAC activities – gathered in the Venezuelan capital. The presentations of this congress, held in the Weapons Room of the Military Circle of Caracas, were later edited by the Venezuelan organizers headed by Germán Carrera Damas and Eduardo Arcila Farías.

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.

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.

From the author’s bio:

Ted Czolowski has been a Canadian since 1946. Born in Poland, he was still a student at the College of Architecture in Lwow when the German army invaded his homeland in 1939. For six years he fought as a guerilla in the Polish resistance before escaping to Italy and joining the British Army. Once in Vancouver after the war, his earlier interest in color, line and design was revived and he turned to photography to express it.

Educational Trends in the Caribbean: European Affiliated Areas

Hauch, Charles C., Educational Trends in the Caribbean: European Affiliated Areas: Bulletin, 1960, No. 26. OE-14043, Washington: Office of Education, US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

Available online.

From the Foreword:

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.

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.
