Beyond Sun and Sand
Filtered through the lens of the North American and European media, the Caribbean appears to be a series of idyllic landscapes-sanctuaries designed for sailing, diving, and basking in the sun on endless white sandy beaches. Conservation literature paints a similarly enticing portrait, describing the region as a habitat for endangered coral reefs and their denizens, parrots, butterflies, turtles, snails, and a myriad of plant species. In both vers…
Nature Conservation, Extractivist Conflicts, and Indigenous Rights in the Americas
What if a political scientist, anthropologist, and geographer walked into a bar to talk about indigenous contributions to environmental protection? It is not clear how well the conversation would go. Their different theoretical frameworks would prompt different questions, concerns, and methods. Still, if they could break through their disciplinary jargon, they would find enough overlapping interests, and even conclusions, to sit through a couple …
Hispaniola's Environmental Story
Hispaniola’s Environmental StoryChallenging an Iconic Image Sherrie Baver (bio) [Errata] One of the sad aftermaths of Haiti’s devastating 2010 earthquake, which left over 300,000 dead and initially 1.5 million homeless, was a widespread perception in the media and the collective imaginary that the country somehow had deserved it. Amid vivid reminders that Haiti is “the poorest country in the Western hemisphere,” it has long been portrayed as the …
Nafta, Cafta and the Environment
After sifting through the various arguments on the trade-environment nexus, I argue that an underrated positive feature on NAFTA (1994) and other recent U.S. bi- or multilateral trade agreements with developing countries, is creation of specific mechanisms to promote democratic environmental governance and environmental protection. While these formal institutions have not shown great autonomy and capacity to date, they provide one of several leve…
Peace Is More Than the End of Bombing
The nature of colonialism in Puerto Rico has caused most political issues to be viewed within the framework of status politics. In the first stage of the struggle to expel the U.S. Navy from the island (1999-2003), civil society in Puerto Rico united when the issues were reframed with links not to status politics but to human rights and social justice. Viequenses symbolized for Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico, on the mainland, and in the world at la…
Latinos In New York
Since the 1980s a number of important books have been published that focus on issues affecting Hispanics throughout the United States. None until now, however, have focused solely on the New York Latino experience. The 12 essays collected in Latinos in New York comprise the first book-length analysis of the past and present condition of Latinos in metropolitan New York. Focusing on Puerto Ricans, these essays also contains the most up-to-date thi…
Including Migration in the Development Calculus
Study of development in the Caribbean Basin is incomplete with- out considering the socioeconomic impact of international labor migration on this region, which is defined here as including Mexico, the Carib- bean archipelago, Central America, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. Most of the seven books under review deal with the specific case of the Dominican Republic and in doing so bring new theoretical sophistication and depth to examining the…
Implementation of Congressional Intent
In 1990, the United States Border Patrol arrested approximately one million illegals (Dillin, 1990). Significant as this number may seem, it parallels the rate of arrest that existed prior to the passage of the Immigration and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). This phenomenon suggests that the Act has failed to accomplish one of its primary objectives: to control illegal immigration to the United States. The IRCA represented the first major change in U…
The Political Economy of Colonialism
Political Participation of Puerto Rican Women
This article reviews the theoretical approaches used to study Hispanic women in politics and highlights their inadequacies forstudying the political behavior of low-income Puerto Rican women, who are used as a case in point. It is not an in-depth study but an effort to develop appropriate research questions and to suggest strategies for the systematic collection of data. In general, community groups are the basic arena for the political activity …
International Relations and Politics
Puerto Rico
Because Puerto Rico is not systematically consulted on issues central to its development and because this situation has become so obvious to all island officials during the last decade, elites across the entire Puerto Rican political spectrum felt pressured to ""come out of the colonial closet," tentatively in August 1977 and forthrightly in 1978.3 Every summer since, spokespersons from all political parties have gone before the UN Decolonization…
