  • Citizenship, Descent and Place in the British Virgin Islands
    Bill Maurer Sta1iford University Children of Mixed Marriages on Virgin Soil: Citizenship, Descent and Place in the British Virgin Islands In this essay, I describe a three-stranded argument over who has rightful claim to citizenship in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Specifically, this essay demonstrates how the law conjures up a domain of "nature" that infonns positions in this argument. There are three parties to this debate: citizens of the BVI who never went abroad for education and employment, citizens of the BVI who left the territory in the 1960s and are now returning, and immigrants to the BVI and their children. For citizens who never emigrated, the law helps construct the nature of identity in tenns of descent, blood, and "race." For immigrants and their children, who make up fifty percent of the present population, the law lends emphasis to region and jurisdiction to construct identity in tenns of predetennined places. For return emigre British Virgin Islanders, the law enables notions of individual ability that appear to make place- and race-based identities superfluous. I will demonstrate how conceptions of belonging and identity based on place and conceptions based on descent work in concert with notions of individual ability to naturalize inequalities between British Virgin Islanders and immigrants. Specifically, I will focus on the inequalities between those who emigrated and those who stayed behind, and between those who emigrated and those BVIslander and immigrants who now work for them. I argue that the law, especially citizenship but also the laws of jurisdictional division, is critical to the creation and maintenance of these competing identities and the inequalities they cover over or remove from discussion.

  • A Study of the Eighteenth-Century Irish Community at Saint Croix, Danish West Indies
    Irish Migration Studies in Latin America Beyond Kinship: A Study of the Eighteenth-century Irish Community at Saint Croix, Danish West Indies By Orla Power Abstract The Irish trading post, and its associated sugar plantations on the Danish island of Saint Croix during the eighteenth century, is fascinating in that it reflects a cultural liaison unusual in the study of the early modern Irish diaspora. Although the absence of a common religion, language or culture was indicative of the changing nature of Caribbean society, the lack of a substantial ‘shared history’ between Ireland and Denmark encourages us to look beyond conventional notions of the organisation of Irish-Caribbean trade. The traditional model of the socially exclusive Irish mercantile network, reaching from Ireland, England, France and Spain to the Caribbean colonies and back to the British metropole, although applicable, does not entirely explain the phenomenon at Saint Croix. Instead, the migration of individuals of mixed social backgrounds from the British Leeward Islands to Saint Croix reflects the changing nature of the kinship network in response to the diversification of the Caribbean marketplace.

Three years after Hurricane Irma, many challenges related to humanitarian aid, fiscal resources, and materials to rebuild remain.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Becoming The Caribbean islands were forged by volcanic fire, lashing waves, and tumbling rivers, hurricane winds, the accumulated secretions of minute marine creatures, and the grinding motion of tectonic plates. The shores of the islands have been shaped and reshaped by rising and falling sea levels during and between Ice Ages. The geologies of Caribbean islands and island groups can differ radically within a few square kilometers, from coral limestone to volcanic rock. Many native plants naturally favor one geological zone over another and contribute to the region’s biodiversity, as do the native fauna (especially reptiles, birds, and marine life), which have evolved in tandem with them. Endemic terres- trial species often have ancestors on the surrounding mainlands from which they have since branched off, sometimes into distinct species. For millions of years, plants and animals have arrived in the islands from South, Central, and North America, brought by wind and sea, by accident, and by migrations. For thousands of years, people have come to these islands. Their subsistence activi- ties have also shaped the natural environment as they have relied less or more on fishing and collecting in brackish estuaries and other coastal zones, fishing in the deep sea, planting on terrestrial flatlands, or farming and gathering in mountainous interiors.1 Just as humans would have modified their natural surroundings in some ways, the environment would have filtered through their cultural institutions and interior lives to transform them in return, directing their activities, affect- ing their belief systems, and inspiring artistic expressions. Island life, its cli- matic conditions, mineral resources, different foods, and unique activities (such as deepwater diving and regularly canoeing back and forth between islands) would have even affected the shape and composition of human bodies.
