Book Synopsis The Politics of Labour and Development in Trinidad by : Ray Kiely
Download or read book The Politics of Labour and Development in Trinidad written by Ray Kiely and published by University of the West Indies Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is a labour history of Trinidad and Tobago, concentrating on the period from 1937 to 1990. The study attempts to show that there is not a unified or homogenous working class, and for this reason both traditional Marxist and industrial relations theories are rejected. Instead, the history of labour focuses on how the working classes have been divided by factors such as race, gender, class structure and politics. These divisions are used as an explanation for the absence of a popular socialist party in the country. It concludes that the economic recession of the 1980s has led to the worst crisis in the history of the labour movement, but at the same time, this has laid the framework for a new strategy of social movement unionism, which attempts to constructively engage with, rather than ignore, divisions within the working classes. The main sources of data were documentary and archival material, and in particular, reports made by the British TUC and Colonial Office, industrial relations legislation, and trade union and political party documents and manifestoes. For the contemporary period, these sources of data were supplemented by fifteen interviews with leading figures in trade union and labour politics. The work is based on a macro approach to the study of labour, and as such constitutes a new and original approach to the study of labour in Trinidad and Tobago. In addition, more contemporary trade union documents and interviews provided the researcher with new and original material.

Download or read book Emergence of the Caribbean Empire written by Jerome Teelucksingh and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is an analysis of the involvement and impact of Trinidad and Tobago 's first major labour organisation, the Trinidad Workingmen's Association (TWA), and early trade unions in politics. Furthermore, the author focuses on the role of unions in the evolution of working class consciousness from its rudimentary stages to the subsequent rise of organized trade unionism of the post-1937 era. Consideration is given to the seminal role of the early trade unions as mobiliser and organiser of the working class both for participation in electoral politics, and as a catalyst for ethnic cohesion in the post-World War One era to 1976. One of the major conclusions in the study is that the early working class organizations and emergence of ideologically strong trade unionism and ad hoc groups as the electioneering campaign committees were the precursors of the well-organized political machinery of the post-World War Two era. The author provides evidence that the comprehensive organisational skills of Labour in organizing meetings, selecting candidates, campaigning for votes and debating issues on the electoral platform were determining factors which resulted in creditable performances in limited electoral victories in elections during 1925 to 1976"--
Download or read book Women and Politics written by Malliga Och and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the distinct identities and diverse lived experiences of women in a wide range of countries and cultures, this book provides a comprehensive overview of women in local, regional, and national politics around the world. Woman and Politics takes on the historical challenges women have and continue to face, and the victories they have achieved, in political cultures and structures around the world. The introduction walks readers through the key issues, pressing concerns, and foremost questions that researchers confront in their studies of women in various political roles across the globe. The remainder of the book, divided into eight chapters, covers such topics as women's suffrage, the status of women in politics today, women as national leaders, barriers to women's political representation, and others. Leading experts and emerging scholars come together in this volume to ask and provide answers to the question of why gender parity is so important in politics. They answer that only women, who as a group have a distinct identity and lived experiences that differ from men's collective identities and interests, can accurately represent themselves both at home and on the world stage.
Book Synopsis Women and Change in the Caribbean by : Janet Momsen
Download or read book Women and Change in the Caribbean written by Janet Momsen and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1993-09-22 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent discussion of postmodern culture describes a movement from center to periphery, privileging cultures that were formerly marginalized. Women and Change in the Caribbean, a study of women marginalized by both gender and race in a region such as the Caribbean—itself marginalized in global terms—attempts to extract insights relevant both within and beyond geographical confines. This volume offers a feminist interpretation of a multicultural society emerging from colonialism and in the process of change and restructuring. The nineteen chapters include case studies of fifteen different Caribbean territories including Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Grenada, and Guyana. The book is divided into two sections: the first looks at women's status and gender relations in the private and public spheres; the second looks at women's economic activity. Taking a broad pan-Caribbean comparative view contributors discuss territories with American, British, Dutch, Danish, French, and Spanish colonial traditions and current political links. The contributors come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds including agriculture, anthropology, economics, geography, history, sociology, and women's studies.

Book Synopsis Why Is It That the Level of Women Politicians Is Much Higher in Trinidad and Tobago Than in Belize? by : Claudette Ramos Mckoy
Download or read book Why Is It That the Level of Women Politicians Is Much Higher in Trinidad and Tobago Than in Belize? written by Claudette Ramos Mckoy and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-02 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of countries in the Caribbean have very few women in politics; but Trinidad and Tobago happens to have a large proportion of women in political office in comparison to Belize. In my thesis, I study the reasons for this significant difference between Members of Parliament(MP) in both countries. Belize is a poorer country than Trinidad and Tobago, with much lower per capita income. Does that play a role in explaining the different levels of women's involvement in politics in the two countries? The two countries also have different histories in relation to women's suffrage, which came a decade later in Belize than in Trinidad and Tobago, and also in the degree of independence from the British Empire (Belize remains less independent). Is that a factor in describing the different levels of women's involvement in politics in the two countries? More generally, what factors are important in distinguishing the difference between bothcountries? Furthermore, I examine the labor participation rate of women in Belize and Trinidad and Tobago.This paper covers an often researched mystery, the low number of women representation in one Caribbean country compared to another, but from a different outlook.There have been many claims as to why this problem exists, relating to a number of reasons. However, I argue that this topic will provide better results by comparing the representation of MP's In Trinidad and Tobago compared to Belize. I deduce that due to Trinidad and Tobago's independence from the British Empire, they tend to be more self-governing in terms of the way their government is run, allowing more female representation from supportive organizations. I plan to research the political system and study the relation of elected women in both countries. The conversation of women in politics in the Caribbean is one that has been brought up often, I am concluding that this is the case, rather than reevaluating this question. I will compare the economic data in order to determine potential paths for women and attain more knowledge on the reasons for this occurrence. I argue that the number of women elected and MP's in Trinidad and Tobago is much higher than in Belize. I anticipate that the difference in the number of women representation will be larger in countries like Trinidad and Tobago where there is a greater command for gender impartiality, where the organizations like the Network of Non-Governmental Organization (NGO)
Book Synopsis Ladies of Labor, Girls of Adventure by : Nan Enstad
Download or read book Ladies of Labor, Girls of Adventure written by Nan Enstad and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twentieth century, labor leaders in women's unions routinely chastised their members for their ceaseless pursuit of fashion, avid reading of dime novels, and "affected" ways, including aristocratic airs and accents. Indeed, working women in America were eagerly participating in the burgeoning consumer culture available to them. While the leading activists, organizers, and radicals feared that consumerist tendencies made working women seem frivolous and dissuaded them from political action, these women, in fact, went on strike in very large numbers during the period, proving themselves to be politically active, astute, and effective. In Ladies of Labor, Girls of Adventure, historian Nan Enstad explores the complex relationship between consumer culture and political activism for late nineteenth- and twentieth-century working women. While consumerism did not make women into radicals, it helped shape their culture and their identities as both workers and political actors. Examining material ranging from early dime novels about ordinary women who inherit wealth or marry millionaires, to inexpensive, ready-to-wear clothing that allowed them to both deny and resist mistreatment in the workplace, Enstad analyzes how working women wove popular narratives and fashions into their developing sense of themselves as "ladies." She then provides a detailed examination of how this notion of "ladyhood" affected the great New York shirtwaist strike of 1909-1910. From the women's grievances, to the walkout of over 20,000 workers, to their style of picketing, Enstad shows how consumer culture was a central theme in this key event of labor strife. Finally, Enstad turns to the motion picture genre of female adventure serials, popular after 1912, which imbued "ladyhood" with heroines' strength, independence, and daring.
Book Synopsis Women Plantation Workers by : Shobita Jain
Download or read book Women Plantation Workers written by Shobita Jain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering collection of essays brings together a description and analysis of women workers and the socio-economic systems of plantations world-wide. The plantation remains a formidable force in many areas of the world and new trends towards tree farming call for further examination of its agriculture. Women have, in the past, constituted a considerable precentage of the work force in this milieu, and continue to do so.Using specific case studies of historical and contemporary plantations, an account is given of the history of female labour, focusing on the colonial and post-colonial eras. The essays examine reasons for women's degraded status and emphasize, in particular, issues relating to migrant workers.The gradual move away from traditional family roles is, to some extent, reflected in variations in the position of the female plantation worker. However, where inequalities in class and status continue to characterize plantation life, capitalist and patriarchal control prevails.Both chilling and bracing, the sufferings of plantation labourers may seem remote to most of us, but they are still very much part of the contemporary world. Providing a close insight into the lives of the female protagonists, these essays have given an opportunity for their stories to be heard.
