The History of Petroleum Exploration on Barbados, 1865-1985
Author: Sylvan Spooner
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1036412695
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
This book documents the history of the Barbadian petroleum industry and the effort of that island’s black-nationalist political elite to take control of the island’s petroleum resources. In a direct challenge to the white Barbadian planter class, this group made it known that it wished to wrest from them ownership of the colony’s petroleum rights. Stating that it would do so for the national good rather than for the good of the few who for centuries held power within the colony, the island’s political leadership gave notice of its desire to disrupt the colonial order. The politically charged appropriation of this natural resource which one member of the House of Lords called “an unhealthy manifestation of self expression,” was a brazen and defiant stand against colonialism and imperialism filled with political risk for the island. This book documents petroleum exploration on Barbados from the mid-nineteenth century to 1985 and examines the island’s careful cultivation of political and foreign policy relationships as well as the machinations involved as the island strove to take control of its petroleum industry.

Sea Currents in Nineteenth-Century Art, Science and Culture
Author: Kathleen Davidson
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501352792
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
How did scientists, artists, designers, manufacturers and amateur enthusiasts experience and value the sea and its products? Examining the commoditization of the ocean world during the nineteenth century, this book demonstrates how the transaction of oceanic objects inspired a multifaceted material discourse stemming from scientific exploration, colonial expansion, industrialization, and the rise of middle-class leisure. From the seashore to the seabed, marine organisms and environments, made tangible through processing and representational technologies, captivated practitioners and audiences. Combining essays and case studies by scholars, curators, and scientists, Sea Currents investigates the collecting and display, illustration and ornamentation, and trade and consumption of marine flora and fauna, analysing their material, aesthetic and commercial dimensions. Traversing global art history, the history of science, empire studies, anthropology, ecocriticism and material culture, this book surveys the currency of marine matter embedded in the economies and ecologies of a modernizing ocean world.
