Nation Formation and the Emergence of the Modern Bahamas 1920-2020

Beschreibung

This study explores the decisive and seminal decades in the twentieth century in which The Bahamas was transformed from a marginalised, British colony to a modern nation-state. Particular attention is given to party politics and the ideas and ideologies that shaped the modern Bahamas. Additionally, economic policies and budgetary issues will be addressed within the context of political parties attempting to formulate plans for national development and state formation. The broad framework of the study encompasses a century of political transformation, from informal associations to formalised parties with platforms and manifestos.
