The Digitized Caribbeana 1900-1975: Chapters
SUBJECT MATTER
All publications selected for inclusion in this bibliography were examined, catalogued as to subject matter, and assigned for primary affiliation to one of sixty-three subject or topical sections. The titles and descriptions of these sections are listed below. Publications that dealt meaningfully with more than one subject or topic were also assigned secondary affiliations in one or more relevant sections. Given the constraints in crafting bibliographic references, this procedure allowed as comprehensive a topical description of each reference as possible as well as complete a listing as possible of each topical section. For the convenience of the user, sections were numerically grouped into the following nine broad thematic parts: Introduction to the Caribbean (sections 1-3); The Past (sections 4-6); The People (sections 7-18); Elements of Culture (sections 19-26); Health, Education and Welfare (sections 27-36); Political Issues (sections 37-40); Socioeconomic Activities and Institutions (sections 41-52); The Environment and Human Geography (sections 53-56); and Soils, Crops, and Livestock. (sections 57-63)
