Description: "After considerable background on the local history, geography, and economy, author traces the shrimping industry from its 1947 origins as a major economic undertaking to its transfer from the private sector to cooperatives in July 1982. Government was actively involved throughout the process, but even extensive government aid could not offset the problems of a monocultural, exporting economy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
