Colonialism and Resistance in Belize by O Nigel Bolland

Colonialism and Resistance in Belize by O Nigel Bolland

The social history of Belize is marked by conflict; between British settlers and the Maya; between masters and slaves; between capitalists and workers; and between the colonial administration and the Belizean people. Belize shares many features with other parts of the Caribbean Central America, including a long history of colonialism and slavery, a dependent economy in which the ownership of land is highly concentrated, and the population which is largely poor. In this collection of essays, Boland analyzes the most import topics during three centuries of colonialism. Part One examines the early British settlement, the nature of slavery in Belize, and the development of Creole culture in the nineteenth century. Part Two analyzes the relations of between the Maya and the British in the nineteenth century. Part Three considers systems of labour control after Emancipation and discusses the origins of modern politics in the labour movement of the 1930s and 1940s. Part Four considers the complex issues of ethnicity and politics in the contemporary arena.

Nigel O. Bolland is Charles A. Dana Professor of Sociology at Colgate University, New York. He is the author of several books and scholarly articles. His recent publication, The Politics of Labour, won the Gordon K. Lewis Award of the Caribbean Studies Association.
