Jacket design by Edgar Blakeney. keywords: Caribbean History Politics. DESCRIPTION - From the earliest colonial slave trade and sugar-molasses-rum triangle, through US Marines occupations, CIA coups, AID, and the IMF, up to the recent Caribbean Basin Initiative and the US invasion of Grenada, this book details a close alliance between foreign investment and politics. Providing a comprehensive overview of international corporate investment in the Caribbean, the authors document its profound impact on the politics and economics of the region. They have assembled a wide variety of information on the top corporations at work - Castle & Cooke, R.J. Reynolds, Tate & Lyle, Grace Kennedy, Geest Industries, Gulf+Western, and scores of others - to show how these corporations and their affiliates have penetrated virtually every sector of the Caribbean economy. In separate chapters on agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, banking, and trade, the authors demonstrate how most of this rich region of abundant resources and exquisite natural beauty has come to experience high unemployment, scarcity of food and basic necessities, low living standards, and ecological endangerment. In addition, chapters are devoted to profiles of each of the Caribbean islands plus Suriname, Guyana, and French Guiana. inventory #17146. N° de réf. du vendeur z17146
