1. Anacaona was a queen, an Arawak Indian, but all of this was taken away from her when the Spaniards arrived looking for gold. Anacaona was one of the Spaniards first victims, “she was raped and killed and her village pillaged” (Danticat, 23). Anacaona represents all the grandmothers, mothers, and granddaughters of Haiti who have been victimized, abused, raped, and murdered.
2. One of the stories that exist, but never made it to the headlines is the story of a woman who was shot in the stomach while pregnant all because she was wearing a T-shirt that illustrated “antimilitary image.” Another story would be a mother who was arrested and brutally beaten just because she was working with a pro-democracy group. Moreover, the story of a mother watching her daughter being rape by paramilitary attaches in front of her eyes at gunpoint. While escaping to the U.S little did the mother know that one of the men that raped her daughter had not only impregnated her, but also infected

The saying “We are ugly, but we are here” is the very essence of the life that lies in survival. And it reminds “our sisters that we have lived yet another day to answer the roll call of an often painful and very difficult life” (Danticat, 26). The saying connects to the resistance because it reminds women that despite after everything they gone through they are still here and here to stay.

1. One aspect that demonstrates the effects of globalization in Antigua is the never ending poverty of Antigua. Even though a vast amount of tourists come to Antigua one may think that it would be flourishing and rich with wealth; however, in reality the natives and the land of Antigua are extremely poor.

La Llorona is to Mexican and Chicano children, what the Bogeyman is to American kids. La Llorona is almost like a mythical monster made to scare kids into good behavior. The story is about a women who drowns her children after she is betrayed by her husband. Later, her spirit returns and roams the streets while she weeps, in search of her kids. I am sure that stories of La Llorona are almost like a household name in every Mexican home. I remember when i was a little kid, my summer days, were spent playing outside until the sunset.

Well, even though

As we were walking through the village, in which people have lived their entire lives, I began to realize that life here is not what it seems. When people think about the Bahamas, they imagine beautiful resorts next to beautiful beaches. I believed the same misconception until I arrived. The shacks around me were half built and their residents were standing out front selling excellent goods. A countless amount of these people had remarkable skills, nevertheless, they still lived comparatively to the impoverished in the United States.
This new wave of globalization has brought both positive and negative outcomes. Foreign goods are sold much cheaper than the locally produced ones. Goods such as fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy products are imported from other countries and thus, impacting local producers. On the other hand, new opportunities and jobs are offered. This expands and develops the economy in the country. Furthermore, globalization has helped Jamaica increased its tourism, which in turn has become one of the country’s main activity. Regardless of the benefits, Jamaica has not been the same due to this global
Globalization is when international organization influence on other countries. It seems that Haiti is a country with a strong dignity that oppose globalization as a force that have an effect on most aspects of economic experience. However, globalization has had both positive and negative effects. Globalization has impacted poverty in Haiti by free trading and many workers works unpaid for many international factories. For many years Haiti was the center of tourism, which was helping the economy, but now it has declined as a source of income . Official data say Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere( Global Finance) . The free trade promoted by global financial organizations has involved the country's economy in a deep retrocession that obliges to neglect barriers and not obstructive goods of developed countries.
The world is constantly becoming smaller and smaller as time progresses. A process of globalization is rapidly turning the world as we know it into economic opportunity waiting to be exploited. A large factor in this process is due to the advent of technology which is becoming more and more readily available to lesser developed countries. Countries such as Jamaica and other LDC’s are primary targets of economic globalization. In the film Life and Debt by Stephanie Black, we see the effects globalization has on Jamaican culture, industry, and agriculture.
The documentary “Life and Debt” portrays a true example of the impact economic globalization can have on a developing country. When most people think about Jamaica, we think about the lovely beaches, the warm weather, and watching the beautiful sunset which makes it a fabulous vacation place. “Life and Debt” shows Jamaica in a different light. It shows how globalization can have a devastating impact on third world countries. The everyday survival of many Jamaicans is based on the economic decisions of the United States and other powerful foreign countries.
