1 microfiche, The social history of Belize is marked by conflict between British settlers and the Maya, between masters and slaves, between capitalists and workers, and between the colonial administration and the Belizean people. Belize shares many features with other parts of the Caribbean Central America, including a long history of colonialism and slavery, a dependent economy in which the ownership of land is highly concentrated and the population is largely poor. In this collection of essays, Boland analyses the most important topics during three centuries of colonialism. Part 1 examines the early British settlement, the nature of slavery in Belize and the development of Creole culture in the nineteenth century. Part 2 analyses the relations of between the Maya and the British in the nineteenth century. Part 3 considers systems of labour control after emancipation and discusses the origins of modern politics in the labour movement of the 1930s and 1940s. Part 4 considers the complex issues of ethnicity and politics in the contemporary arena.;

Notes:
396 p., Foreign interests have dominated the economic development of the Caribbean since the first arrival of Europeans in the region five centuries ago. From the plantation system and slavery to the exploitation of oil and bauxite by the multinational corporations, the history of the Caribbean people is one of dependency and impoverishment. For the great majority, past and present--slaves, indentured laborers, peasants and workers, the unemployed--the region's subjection to external control has meant systematic hardship and social injustice. in this survey of economic development in the Caribbean, Clive Thomas traces the history of colonialism and neocolonialism from the perspective of this majority.
