Guiana Amp the Shadows of Empirecb

Informationen zum Autor Joshua Hyles holds an MA in history from Baylor University. Klappentext This text is the first in many years to address the histories and cultures of Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana in a single regional volume, exploring their colorful pasts and explaining the vast cultural differences among the three. Students of Caribbean history, Latin American history, colonialism and imperialism, and the history of slavery will find a collection of useful information on the region that has not been assembled to this degree in any other text currently available. Hyles offers a lucid portrait of how Dutch, English, and French empires confronted tropical nature in the strip of South America between Brazil and Venezuela, breaking it in to three polities-Guyana of the British, Suriname of the Dutch, and French Guyane-each with distinct political, economic, and cultural trajectories. -- Richard Drayton, Kings College London Inhaltsverzeichnis Chapter One: Introduction Chapter Two: Guianas- Prehistory-1667 Chapter Three: Guianas 1667-1814 Chapter Four: British Guiana 1814-1914 Chapter 5: Five French Guiana 1814-1914 Chapter Six: Dutch Guiana 1814-1914 Chapter Seven: Guianas 1914-1950 Chapter Eight: Guyana 1950-Present Chapter Nine: French Guiana 1950-Present Chapter Ten: Suriname 1950-Present Chapter Eleven: Conclusion
