Description
"History of UFCO's Atlantic coast operations in Costa Rica from perspective of largely West Indian labor force. Examines formation of enclave economy, including role of West Indian labor, subsistence production, and health problems as occasion of worker-company misunderstandings. Also studies workers' cultural and political lives apart from, and sometimes in conflict with, company, and how West Indians and UFCO figured in Costa Rican nationalist thought and politics"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
