Book Synopsis A Company of Planters by : John Dodd
Download or read book A Company of Planters written by John Dodd and published by Monsoon Books. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a collection of letters written to his best friend and to his father in England, and from his own personal diary entries, John Dodd’s memoir offers a fascinating and amusing glimpse of life as a colonial rubber planter. With true stories and confessions that would make even Somerset Maugham blush, we discover what life was really like for young colonial planters in late-1950s Malaya. Increasing daily rubber output may have been their goal but for the young planters the bigger picture of chasing girls and finding a ‘keep’ was of much greater importance. But life was more than just a series of stengahs in the clubhouse, dalliances in the Chinese brothels of Penang and charming ‘pillow dictionaries’ – there were strikes, riots, snakes, plantation fires and deadly ambushes by Communist terrorists to contend with. Set against the backdrop of the Emergency period, the rise of nationalism and Malaya’s subsequent Independence, A Company of Planters is a very personal, moving and humorous account of one man’s experiences on the frequently isolated rubber plantations of colonial Malaya.

Download or read book The Planter written by Pat Jobe and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is The Planter. Yes, there are gazillions of other gray, terracotta planters, but the one you hold in your hand is the one this story is about. Several folks who read the manuscript said, I wish I could go to Brown Mountain Road and look at that planter, but, in some ways, reading the book and hearing the story are as close as you get. But it may be close enough. Maybe if you like this planter, you can feel yourself capable of far more good than you have done so far, far more that you could do in concert with others. Maybe not. Maybe all you will get from reading this book is more joy from walking in the woods. Either way, this book was written primarily because lots of people want you to feel better and more joyful and more peaceful. Start there and have a wonderful life. Take a deep breath. You deserve it and the people around you deserve it, too.

Book Synopsis Bureaucrats, Planters, and Workers by : Susan Deans-Smith
Download or read book Bureaucrats, Planters, and Workers written by Susan Deans-Smith and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A government monopoly provides an excellent case study of state-society relationships. This is especially true of the tobacco monopoly in colonial Mexico, whose revenues in the later half of the eighteenth century were second only to the silver tithe as the most valuable source of government income. This comprehensive study of the tobacco monopoly illuminates many of the most important themes of eighteenth-century Mexican social and economic history, from issues of economic growth and the supply of agricultural credit to rural relations, labor markets, urban protest and urban workers, class formation, work discipline, and late colonial political culture. Drawing on exhaustive research of previously unused archival sources, Susan Deans-Smith examines a wide range of new questions. Who were the bureaucrats who managed this colonial state enterprise and what policies did they adopt to develop it? How profitable were the tobacco manufactories, and how rational was their organization? What impact did the reorganization of the tobacco trade have upon those people it affected most—the tobacco planters and tobacco workers? This research uncovers much that was not previously known about the Bourbon government's management of the tobacco monopoly and the problems and limitations it faced. Deans-Smith finds that there was as much continuity as change after the monopoly's establishment, and that the popular response was characterized by accommodation, as well as defiance and resistance. She argues that the problems experienced by the monopoly at the beginning of the nineteenth century did not originate from any simmering, entrenched opposition. Rather, an emphasis upon political stability and short-term profits prevented any innovative reforms that might have improved the monopoly's long-term performance and productivity. With detailed quantitative data and rare material on the urban working poor of colonial Mexico, Bureaucrats, Planters, and Workers will be important reading for all students of social, economic, and labor history, especially of Mexico and Latin America.
