Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book describes the Caribbean responses to globalization. The Caribbean ranks among the earliest and most completely globalized regions in the world. From the first moment Europeans set foot on the islands to the present, products, people, and ideas have made their way back and forth between the region and other parts of the globe with unequal but inexorable force. An inventory of some of these unprecedented multidirectional exchanges, this volume provides a measure of, as well as a model for, new scholarship on globalization in the region. Ten essays by leading scholars in the field of Caribbean studies identify and illuminate important social and cultural aspects of the region as it seeks to maintain its own identity against the unrelenting pressures of globalization. These essays examine cultural phenomena in their creolized forms - from sports and religion to music and drink - as well as the Caribbean manifestations of more universal trends - from racial inequality and feminist activism to indebtedness and economic uncertainty. Throughout, the volume points to the contending forces of homogeneity and differentiation that define globalization and highlights the growing agency of the Caribbean peoples in the modern world.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Seasoned by Salt is the fascinating account of a one-year cruise, from Connecticut to Grenada and back, undertaken by a sailing couple.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The British and US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean was the frontier paradise of the 60's and early 70's where adventurers used the islands as a base of operations for nefarious activities in the Caribbean and South America. There were treasure hunters, counterfeiters, assassins, Black Panthers, rock stars, movie stars, wealthy industrialists, and lots of other folks looking for an escape from their boring ordinary mainland living. Others brought their yachts to join the large charter fleet in St. Thomas, stop to visit or continue on to other ports. The islands would enter into a frenzy of development in the early 70's that would change forever their free, frontier paradise character. Native fishing schooners would disappear; high speed ferries replaced colorful native transportation, a mega yacht marina would be built on the bones of Yacht Haven Marina where most stories in this book had their beginning; where the people who made adventure their way of life inspired the short stories of Caribbean Bones. The ghosts of Yacht Haven, and its Marina, still haunt Dick but in a good way. Not a day passes that he doesn't remember sharing a drink and laugh with Mama Cass; playing darts with Mad Dog, Fairchild on Virgin Gorda; liars' poker with actor Bill Davis at Trader Dan's on the waterfront or the The Lovin' Spoonful, a stoned rock band neighbor at the marina. He went to the islands to find adventure and explore the wonders of freedom and found more than he had ever hoped for. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Cole Williams seemed born to the sea, racing sailboats and crewing yachts during his time as a cadet at the Coast Guard Academy, but when he reported aboard a cutter patrolling the Caribbean nothing he did seemed to please the command. His motivation to do the right thing always seemed to land him in hot water. At the end of a cruise in which he served admirably during open ocean rescues and hot pursuit of drug runners, Cole is unceremoniously kicked out of the Coast Guard for what the command deems reckless behavior and a bad attitude. That's when a dejected and disillusioned Cole decides to go rogue and make a few runs for the druggies he's spent so long chasing at sea. The twists and turns at that point are devious and dangerous as Cole shifts from modern-day pirate, to criminal fugitive to mole for his old service and the Joint Task Force charged with stemming the flow of illegal narcotics. While seldom in the headlines, the southern border of the United States has been a battleground for decades where the men and women of the Coast Guard and dozens of federal agencies have fought many a battle to keep illegal narcotics off the streets. In his debut novel, Brian Boland shares a story born from more than a decade of experience fighting the war on drugs.…
