Excerpt from Guide to Trinidad: A Handbook for the Use of Tourism and Visitors Although a resident in this colony of ten years' standing, I have not undertaken this task, pleasant as it has been, without serious misgivings, knowing as I do full well that there are many far more competent than myself to do justice to this beautiful island. Trinidad is, however, daily becoming more widely appreciated, as evidenced by the increased number of visitors flocking here, and I could not help feeling that a 'Guide, ' simply and plainly telling what there is to see, and how to see it, would not be utterly useless. This little handbook is not intended, in the slightest degree, to rival the excellent works already in the field. Even to disclaim this notion is so presumptuous that I would not do it did I not wish to draw attention to the fact that if, in the course of these pages, I have awakened in the reader the desire to learn more of Trinidad, he could not do better than peruse the admirable books of Mr. Gustave Borde and Dr. de Verteuil. I will take this opportunity of acknowledging my deep indebtedness to the numerous friends who have rendered me willing assistance. Particularly with regard to Chapters VIII. and X., I should have been literally nowhere without the information gleaned and matter obtained from clergy and ministers of all the denominations therein mentioned. Others in different ways have been equally helpful. Doubtless, in spite of vigilance, mistakes (I am afraid not a few) will have crept in here and there, and in such a case I shall feel obliged if my readers will kindly take the trouble to set me right.

As issues of employee involvement and participation once more evoke considerable controversy, this textbook provides an accessible overview of the main strands, perspectives and debates in current thinking and practice. It adopts a comparative international approach, addressing developments in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe, the United States and elsewhere. The authors identify two main strands of evolution: one driven by managerial interests in enhancing and controlling employee commitment and performance; the other deriving from employees' attempts to influence high-level organizational decision-making. In particular, they examine and analyze: the background of key concepts, issues and philosophies underpinning

As separate entities and later a unified state, the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago boast very unique histories. Initially claimed by the Spanish in 1498, these territories were affected by the imperialist thrusts of various European nations including the French, British and Dutch. The mercantilist infiltrations of these groups, particularly in the 18th century, led to the islands’ belated development as sugar producers and, particularly Trinidad, as a cradle of migration. World War II and the development of the oil and tourism industries in the 20th century transformed the economies, culture and society of these islands. The country has been one of the most important in the region in relation to economic and political leadership and as a centre of cultural development. Historical Dictionary of Trinidad and Tobago contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Trinidad and Tobago.

In 1838, the British government outlawed the slave trade, emancipated all of the slaves in its possessions, and began to interdict slave ships en route to the Americas. Almost at once, colonies that had depended on slave labour were faced with a liberated and unwilling labour force. At the same time, newly freed slaves in Sierra Leone (and later from America and elsewhere) were "persuaded" to emigrate to other British colonies to provide a new workforce to replace or augment remnants of the old. Some became paid labourers, others indentured servants. These two groups - one, English-speaking colonists; the other, new African immigrants - are the focus of this study of "receptive" communities in the West Indies. Adderley describes the formation of these settlements, and, working from scant records, tries to tease out information about the families of liberated Africans, the labour they performed, their religions, and the culture they brought with them. She addresses issues of gender, ethnicity, and identity, and concludes with a discussion of repatriation.

This book explores the dynamics of the socio-cultural baggage that Indian indentured migrants took with them to the Caribbean island of Trinidad and how they have since become a vibrant diaspora community, namely the Indo-Trinidadians. It combines social history with first-hand fieldwork data to portray human ingenuity in terms of social reconstitution and community building in a hostile socio-cultural environment. Furthermore, it addresses key social institutions—religion, caste, and family—and cultural elements—language, foodways, and ethnicity. Its analytical framework is guided by the concept of metamorphosis; it steers clear of the persistence versus change hypotheses. Given its focus, it will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, social anthropology, history, and migration and diaspora studies.
