La evolución del transporte marítimo obliga a introducir cambios constantes para adaptarse a todas las circunstancias que lo rodean y las necesidades de los clientes. Se desarrollan nuevas herramientas y se ponen a disposición de las navieras para que asuman las peticiones del fletador en cuanto a seguridad y rapidez en el desplazamiento de las mercancías. La competencia hace que esta evolución sea progresiva y que las empresas se vean obligadas a adaptarse a las nuevas tecnologías. Este Manual de estiba para mercancías sólidas está pensado y concebido para dar respuesta a los actuales planes de estudio de las facultades de náutica, pero también va dirigido a todas las personas que tienen relación con el transporte marítimo y necesitan conocer los métodos y procedimientos que integran el arte de la estiba. Los profesionales del sector marítimo tienen, en este manual, un texto donde podrán consultar los nuevos métodos de estiba y refrescar los tradicionales. El estudio y el desarrollo de los conceptos relacionados con la estiba implican un conocimiento previo de materias que es aconsejable repasar para el buen entendimiento de los temas que se analizan en este manual. Por ejemplo, es necesario conocer los conceptos generales relativos a la estabilidad, la construcción naval, los sistemas de servicios, las instalaciones y la seguridad del buque. Todos los temas enumerados están íntimamente vinculados a la estiba y su conocimiento se considera una premisa imprescindible. Los capítulos se desarrollan de acuerdo a las características de las mercancías manipuladas, ya que el objetivo principal de la estiba es conocer los procedimientos y las particularidades de las acciones realizadas en las operaciones de carga y descarga. Al mismo tiempo, se estudiarán y analizarán los efectos del transporte marítimo sobre las mercancias. El planteamiento sobre los objetivos que pretende alcanzar este manual obliga a realizar algunas puntualizaciones para una buena comprensión de los mismos, que son aplicables a todo el texto y se tendrán en cuenta durante el desarrollo de los capítulos.

Baron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism


Book Description

Focusing on the influential life and works of the Haitian political writer and statesman, Baron de Vastey (1781-1820), in this book Marlene L. Daut examines the legacy of Vastey’s extensive writings as a form of what she calls black Atlantic humanism, a discourse devoted to attacking the enlightenment foundations of colonialism. Daut argues that Vastey, the most important secretary of Haiti’s King Henry Christophe, was a pioneer in a tradition of deconstructing colonial racism and colonial slavery that is much more closely associated with twentieth-century writers like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire. By expertly forging exciting new historical and theoretical connections among Vastey and these later twentieth-century writers, as well as eighteenth- and nineteenth-century black Atlantic authors, such as Phillis Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano, William Wells Brown, and Harriet Jacobs, Daut proves that any understanding of the genesis of Afro-diasporic thought must include Haiti’s Baron de Vastey.
