	history of dominica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Dominica’s History and Politics are two subjects that become intertwined with each other as the politics have controlled the history of the island since before Columbus discovered it in 1493.
		However, these political changes were minor because they did little to alter the fundamental problems, which faced the majority of the population; these problems were that little had changed in the social and economic class structure since the days of slavery.
		One accomplishment for Dominica’s natives occurred in 1903, as a 3,700-acre reservation on the northeastern tip of the island was given to the remaining 3,000 original Caribs that still lived there for agricultural and living purposes.

	ROSIE DOUGLAS
		Dominica's Prime Minister, Dr. Rosie Douglas, who was found dead at his home on Sunday, had often described his crusade in life as fighting for human rights across the globe.
		Douglas, who was deported to Dominica, said he had no regrets about the incident and would have done it again if he had to.
		Douglas, a single father of four children, had been a target of criticism from his political rivals, for the fact that he was not employed in any professional field, an accusation, which he casually brushed aside.

	The history of Dominica
		Dominica has been inhabited by human beings for a long time - there is evidence that the island was inhabited in at least 3100 BC.
		Spanish attempts to colonise Dominica and surrounding islands with their Christian missionaries failed miserably - the Caribs either killed or held the missionaries hostage and the Spanish were not willing to pit their fighting skills against a skilled enemy and the rugged terrain of Dominica.
		Dominica was hit hard by the decline in colonial agriculture in the 1800's -exacerbated by natural disasters and the end of the slavery era -other cash crops were undertaken, namely cocoa and and limes but a long, gradual decline and long overdue social upheaval meant tough times for Dominica.

	Radical Politics in Dominica
		As well, Dominica was well within the cultural and political sphere of the United States (and Canada, to a lesser extent) which sought to assume the mantle of an increasingly remote British hegemony in the region.
		Dominica's treasury would receive a measly $99.00 per year for a 99 year lease, in exchange for granting the investors what would be virtual autonomy in the free-port area.
		Paired with the political awakening it had wrought (be that from a position in government, non-government organizations or enterprise), the forces of Dominican radicalism seemed poised to continue their role in fashioning a more just and independent Dominican nation for the foreseeable future.

	Bert Thomas: OPPOSITION POLITICS IN DOMINICA: HOW LABOUR CAME TO POWER
		Most analyses of Caribbean politics tend to focus on the political faction which happens to be in control of the state, while little attention is paid to the official political opposition.
		Obviously,the niceties of democratic political structures are to be found in the Caribbean, but the cult of personality and limited economic opportunities predominate over structure and substance.
		The Caribbean political parties defeated in general elections in the late 1980's recognized that their usual political stance had atrophied and oppositions had successfully portrayed them as having lost touch with reality.

		It is difficult for journalists in small Caribbean societies to escape being daubed with political brushes whenever their opinion, analyses or the forthrightness of their interviews are unfavourable to one side or another.

		Dominica's 2000 election results have been instructive to an outsider and the coalition government that will fashion this country's destiny, at least over the next five years.

		This writer has always studied the politics, history, economics and social dynamics of this rural constituency very closely due to the fact that my dad left the red dirt of the Jalousie section of the village some fifty (50) years ago for a better life elsewhere.
