“The Economic History of Belize” book launch

“The Economic History of Belize” book launch | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

"The Economic History of Belize," written by Barbara and Victoria Bulmer- Thomas, had its launch yesterday to coincide with Book Week.  Plus TV interviewed the president of the Belize Book Industry Association.  Happy Book Week!

 

"I believe it is an important book because it presents the economic history of Belize.  We always hear about the history of Belize, but we never see an economic view of the history of Belize, which takes into account everything that has happened in the context of history and geography and I think that’s why it is important.  It presents the facts eloquently and in a simple way, so it is a book that is accessible to students and to the general public."
