[EAN: 9781434390127], Neubuch, [PU: Authorhouse], HISTORY / GENERAL, nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - It's clear to me that the book is grounded in considerable personal and family experience, and a wealth and depth of experience that few could match. Eneas' understanding of the Caribbean, both its history and recent development, is second to none - and I can well imagine that it will generate considerable local interest. The politics are one essential background dimension, against which the later economic development can best be told. It comes into its own though, inevitably, when he talks about agriculture. It's apparent then that his professional understanding and experience are at their best. Some of the vignettes' of opinion are, in places, a bit arguable perhaps - and should stir things a touch ( I suspect) - whilst other readers will be entertained. It's not a bland read! Eneas tells it as it is in places, and ( inevitably) this will make both friends and critics. Professor W. P. Davies Vice Principal Royal Agricultural College Cirencester Gloucestershire ,England Godfrey Eneas continues his relentless advocacy for the small farmers in the Caribbean. As a regional respected leader in the sector, he uses his independent style to provide exemplary models of successful supportive policies for small farming. In his compassionate way of treating the subject he reminded us that for small farmers to face the challenges and complexities of today's agriculture, a new order is needed. In this book, he provides a guide that can prove invaluable for policy makers, scientists and other leaders in the field alike. It's a ray of hope for small farming in the Caribbean. Dr. Marikis N. Alvarez Representative in The Bahamas Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA). In this insightful and engaging book, Godfrey Eneas provides the reader with a clear, historical understanding of the dramatic transformation of the Caribbean from a region dedicated primarily to agriculture to one devoted to tourism and the provision of other services. While this transformation has unquestionably resulted in increases in the standard of living in many island nations, it has also been accompanied by a corresponding increase in a number of challenges facing the region today. While the transformation to a service-based economy has had a major impact on the way people live in this New Caribbean, Eneas makes it clear that processes of profound change are still underway. The revolution in information and communication technology and globalization are creating new opportunities and challenges for the region.The importance of integration among Caribbean nations, the need to increase food security, the persistent problems of migration and social inequality, and the need to strengthen social capital, enhance competitiveness and encourage economic diversification are treated in depth.
