Abstract:
In the first half of the twentieth century, the United Fruit Company, based in Boston, Massachusetts, created an impressive network that produced bananas in Colombia for distribution to the U.S. market. The company grew its own fruit but relied as well on local entrepreneurs. United Fruit imposed draconian contracts on the growers, forcing them to trade on terms that were very favorable to the company. These practices set the standards for other exporters operating in the country, even those based in Colombia.

AbstractThe recent First of Class Flying Trials for the F-35 Lightning 2 took place on HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH (QNLZ) during the WESTLANT 18 deployment. WESTLANT 18 took place over four months off the eastern seaboard of the United States of America and involved a busy daily flying programme. The deployment was supported by a full Role 2 Afloat (R2A) team. The Role 1 team onboard was augmented during WESTLANT 18 with a physiotherapist. Data collected during WESTLANT 18 suggests that provision of a physiotherapist to support the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) is a force enabler and force protection asset, as they are able to keep patients on board who would otherwise require aeromedical evacuation back to the United Kingdom. The deployed physiotherapist was well employed and, when complemented by plain radiography and supported by an embarked orthopaedic surgeon, saved a significant amount of lost working hours and the associated costs of investigations and treatment in the host nation. This reduces the risk to operational capability due to musculoskeletal injury to the aircrew or to the ship’s company and embarked forces.

Abstract:
Em fins do século XIX um jovem empresário estadunidense fundou uma empresa exportadora de bananas na República da Costa Rica: a United Fruit Company. Mesmo que o comércio de bananas e outras frutas tropicais tenha representado apenas uma parte dos produtos exportados pelos países da América Central a exportação de café, por exemplo, sempre foi mais significativa , as companhias bananeiras foram eternizadas por diversos romancistas em alguns dos países centro-americanos em que atuaram. Este trabalho pretende mostrar a trilogia bananeira: Viento fuerte (1949), El Papa verde (1954) e Los ojos de los enterrados (1960) do escritor guatemalteco Miguel Angel Asturias, como uma possibilidade de representação da história da United Fruit Company na Guatemala. Utilizando romances como fonte histórica e realizando a articulação entre o discurso literário e o discurso histórico, a intenção é mostrar a interpretação de Asturias sobre a ação desta multinacional em seu país. Problematizando o encontro entre ambos os discursos e fazendo dialogar a informação histórica sobre o ocorrido e o tratamento literário que Asturias dá a esses mesmos fatos em sua trilogia bananeira.
In the end of the XIX Century a young American enterpreneur founded in the Republic of Costa Rica a company to export banana: the United Fruit Company. Even though the banana commerce and other tropical fruits had represented only a part of the exported products by the Central America countries the coffee export for instance has always been more significant the companies that traded bananas were eternalized by a great variety of novelists in some Central American countries were they acted. This work aims to show, as a possibility to represent the History of the United Fruit Company in Guatemala, the books that composes the Banana Trilogy: Viento fuerte (1949), El Papa Verde (1954) and Los ojos de los enterrados (1960) from the Guatemaltec writer Miguel Angel Asturias. Using novels as a historic source and accomplishing the joint between the literary and historic speech, the intention is to show the interpretation of Asturias concernig the action of this muitinational company in his country, to open debate between both speeches and to articulate the historic information and the treatment that Asturias gives to this information in his Banana Trilogy books.

Abstract:
Between 1899 and 1930 the United Fruit Company emerged as the world's largest exporter of bananas. Initially dependent on the purchase of bananas through contracts with small-scale Native growers, the Company sought greater control over the quality and supply of its product. Transitioning itself into the production process and focusing on the establishment of its own sources of fruit, the Company began the construction of large-scale, export-driven, and industrialized plantations by 1910. In this process it embarked upon a new relationship with the tropical environments of the Caribbean Basin, which in turn presented environmental obstacles resistant to ecological change. Dedicated to creating wealth out of what it deemed as 'waste spots,' the United Fruit Company approached the task of plantation construction utilizing a cultural and conceptual framework that was a product of both historical influences, and eventually, by its own encounters with the environment. Drawing on under-utilized Company publications, this study explores the ways in which United Fruit developed a distinctly American cultural understanding of frontier environments. Perceiving Caribbean landscapes as 'uncivilized' and supposedly in need of improvement, the Company transposed American historical understandings of the environment in order to justify the creation of a productive and essentially Americanized version of Nature.
Entre 1899 et 1930 Le United Fruit Company a émergé comme le plus grand exportateur mondials de bananes. Initialement dépendante de l'achat de bananes par des contrats avec les cultivateurs indigènes à petite échelle, le Company a voulu plus de contrôle sur la qualité et le réserve de son produit. S'immergeant dans le processus de fabrication et en se concentrant sur la création de ses propres sources de fruits, le Company a commencé la construction de plantations industrielles à grande échelle dans lequel le point de focalisation était l'exportation par 1910. Pendant ce processus il s'est engagé dans une nouvelle relation avec les milieux tropicaux du bassin des Caraïbes, qui a ensuite présenté d'obstacles environnementaux résistants aux changements écologiques. Dévoué à créer la richesse sur ce qui était jugé comme «les tâches de déchets», Le United Fruit Company a adressé la tâche de construction de plantation par utilisant un cadre culturel et conceptuel qui était un produit des influences historiques et à la longue, par ses rencontres avec l'environnement. En s'appuyant sur les publications sous-utilisées du Company, cette étude explore les façons dont United Fruit a développé une compréhension culturelle typiquement américain des environnements frontalières. Percevant des paysages Caraïbes comme «non civilisés» et soi-disant besoin d'amélioration, le Company a modifiés l'interprétation historiques américaine de l'environnement pour justifier la création d'une version de la nature productive et essentiellement américanisée.

Full text
Abstract:
Latin Americans immigrating to New Orleans during the Jim Crow period found New Orleans to be a place where they could assimilate. Several factors produced a tolerant climate for Latin Americans. These included New Orleanians' tolerant attitude, which was possible since Latin Americans arrived in small numbers and different waves. Latinos also helped develop trade with Latin America. Also, unlike other areas in the country, immigrants that came to New Orleans came from all over Central and South America. They were a highly skilled group and acted as cultural and power brokers between Latin America and the city. In spite of the variety of racial mixtures, Latinos in New Orleans could claim social and legal whiteness. A pattern of immigration is revealed: small numbers, economic, cultural and educational diversity, a desire to assimilate rather than segregate, and social and economical mobility.

Abstract:
My dissertation project explores the ways in which the banana exposes Americans’ interconnected imaginings of exotic food, gender, and race. Since the late nineteenth century, The United Fruit Company’s continuous supply of bananas to US retail markets has veiled the fruit’s production history, and the company’s marketing strategies and campaigns have turned the banana into an American staple food. By the time Josephine Baker and Carmen Miranda were using the banana as part of their stage and screen costumes between the 1920s and the 1940s, this imported fruit had come to represent foreignness, tropicality, and exoticism. Building upon foodways studies and affect studies, which trace how foodstuffs travel and embody memory and affect, I show how romantic imaginings of bananas have drawn attention away from the exploitative nature of a fruit trade that benefits from and reinforces the imbalanced power relationship between the US and Central America. In this project, I analyze the meaning interwoven into three forms of cultural production: banana cookbooks published by the United Fruit Company for middle-class American housewives; McKay’s dissent poetry; and the costumes and exotic transnational stage performances of Baker, Miranda, and also the United Fruit mascot, Miss Chiquita.

Abstract:
This project looks at the history of the Afro-Costa Ricans in Costa Rica and their relationship with the Costa Rican government. The goal is to show that the geography of the country contributed to the marginalization and invisibility of this minority group. This has been done using archival materials from collections based in Costa Rica and secondary texts found in the United States. Upon examination of these materials it was clear that the province of Limón became a space connected with blackness and there were inequalities between citizens of the coastal province and the central valley. This research highlights the Afro- diaspora in Costa Rica, the flawed Costa Rican democracy and the effect of American Imperialism on Latin America.

Abstract:
Guatemala's banana workers, or bananeros, represented a regional working class isolated from the rest of the country's laborers by geography and their employment in an enclave export industry. Unlike most coffee workers, the bananeros were a true rural proletariat. Employment by a powerful multi-national corporation, the United Fruit Company (UFCO), also set bananeros apart from other rural and urban workers. Over five thousand in number by the mid-1920s, banana workers were the largest labor force in Guatemala under a single employer. They were also Guatemala's most militant workers. Labor disputes erupted on at least seven occasions between 1907 and 1929 Militancy did not guarantee improved labor conditions; indeed, the bananeros' record is disappointing. Despite the frequency of strikes, they resulted in few victories. Only two of the seven strikes accomplished their objectives. The poor record stemmed from the numerous obstacles that confronted labor activists. The unique characteristics of the banana industry, its enclave nature and UFCO's monopoly, posed special challenges. Geographic isolation left workers dependent upon UFCO for jobs, housing, consumer goods, medical care and other key services. Erratic employment, linked to the unstable market for bananas, further subverted the bananeros' potential leverage. Bananeros also had to contend with a state that opposed organized labor, especially in the export sector of the economy. A lack of trade union experience and the transient nature of the work force further inhibited effective strike action. Ethnic rivalry, particularly between ladinos and Africans, prevented workers from bringing coordinated pressure to bear against the company. These same obstacles hindered the establishment of stable trade unions The failure of labor activism among the bananeros prior to 1944 had profound repercussions for labor relations on a national scale. Artisans and urban workers dominated the early Guatemalan workers' movement but they were too few in number and lacked the economic leverage necessary to make organized labor a strong and permanent force in Guatemalan political life. Most Guatemalans lived and worked in the countryside and the inability of workers in export industries to organize effective trade unions seriously limited the potential of the national labor movement in pre-Revolutionary Guatemala

Abstract:
Eminent Domain is the power of the government or quasi-government entities to take private or public property interests through condemnation. Eminent Domain has been a significant issue since 1879 when, in the case of Boom Company v. Patterson, the Supreme Court first acknowledged that the power of eminent domain may be delegated by state legislatures to agencies and non-governmental entities. Thus, the era of legal takings began. Though an important legal dispute then, more recently eminent domain has blossomed into an enduring contentious social and political problem throughout the United States. The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution states, “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Thus, in the wake of the now infamous decision in Kelo v. City of New London, where the Court upheld the taking of private property for purely economic benefit as a “public use,” the requirement of “just compensation” stands as the primary defender of constitutionally protected liberty under the federal constitution. In response to Kelo, many state legislatures passed a variety of eminent domain reforms specifically tailoring what qualifies as a public use and how just compensation should be calculated. Texas landowners recognize that the state’s population is growing at a rapid pace. There is an increasing need for more land and resources such as energy and transportation. But, private property rights are equally important, especially in Texas, and must be protected as well. Eminent domain and the condemnation process is not a willing buyer and willing seller transition; it is a legally forced sale. Therefore, it is necessary to consider further improvements to the laws that govern the use of eminent domain so Texas landowners can have more assurance that this process is fair and respectful of their private property rights when they are forced to relinquish their land. This report compiles statutes and information from the other forty-nine states to illustrate how they address key eminent domain issues. Further, this report endeavors to provide a neutral third voice in Texas to strike a more appropriate balance between individual’s property rights and the need for increased economic development. This report breaks down eminent domain into seven major topics that, in addition to Texas, seemed to be similar in many of the other states. These categories are: (1) Awarding of Attorneys’ Fee; (2) Compensation and Valuation; (3) Procedure Prior to Suit; (4) Condemnation Procedure; (5) What Cannot be Condemned; (6) Public Use & Authority to Condemn; and (7) Abandonment. In analyzing these seven categories, this report does not seek to advance a particular interest but only to provide information on how Texas law differs from other states. This report lays out trends seen across other states that are either similar or dissimilar to Texas, and additionally, discusses interesting and unique laws employed by other states that may be of interest to Texas policy makers. Our research found three dominant categories which tend to be major issues across the country: (1) the awarding of attorneys’ fees; (2) the valuation and measurement of just compensation; and (3) procedure prior to suit.
