  • The Gradual Loss of African Indigenous Vegetables in Tropical America: a Review
    The Gradual Loss of African Indigenous Vegetables in Tropical America: A Review 1 ,2 INA VANDEBROEK AND ROBERT VOEKS* 1The New York Botanical Garden, Institute of Economic Botany, 2900 Southern Boulevard, The Bronx, NY 10458, USA 2Department of Geography & the Environment, California State University—Fullerton, 800 N. State College Blvd., Fullerton, CA 92832, USA *Corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] Leaf vegetables and other edible greens are a crucial component of traditional diets in sub-Saharan Africa, used popularly in soups, sauces, and stews. In this review, we trace the trajectories of 12 prominent African indigenous vegetables (AIVs) in tropical America, in order to better understand the diffusion of their culinary and ethnobotanical uses by the African diaspora. The 12 AIVs were selected from African reference works and preliminary reports of their presence in the Americas. Given the importance of each of these vegetables in African diets, our working hypothesis was that the culinary traditions associated with these species would be continued in tropical America by Afro-descendant communities. However, a review of the historical and contemporary literature, and consultation with scholars, shows that the culinary uses of most of these vegetables have been gradually lost. Two noteworthy exceptions include okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) and callaloo (Amaranthus viridis), although the latter is not the species used in Africa and callaloo has only risen to prominence in Jamaica since the 1960s. Nine of the 12 AIVs found refuge in the African- derived religions Candomblé and Santería, where they remain ritually important. In speculating why these AIVs did not survive in the diets of the New World African diaspora, one has to contemplate the sociocultural, economic, and environmental forces that have shaped—and continue to shape—these foodways and cuisines since the Atlantic slave trade.

  • Distributed Resources Report
    Latin Americanist Research Resources Project Distributed Resources Project Participants Progress Reports for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Compiled by Sócrates Silva, Collection and Analysis Working Group Chair Summary Twenty four (24) of the thirty-five institutions participating in the Distributed Resources Project (DRP) responded to the annual survey questionnaire as of June 27, 2018. The survey asked each institution to report the amount spent on its DRP-assigned collection area, mention significant acquisitions, and report any changes in assigned collection area(s) or budget allocations. Total DRP collections among 25 respondents who could provide dollar amounts were approximately $395,910. In comparison the total dollar amount for the 30 of 35 respondents who answered the last survey conducted in 2012/2013 was approximately $548,862. In comparison to the last survey conducted-allocations for most institutions remained approximately the same, but there were notable reductions at a few institutions. A few institutions reported increases but none were as significant as the reported reductions. The DRP total in the 2017/2018 survey is likely due to a combination of a smaller set of respondents and budgetary reductions to DRP areas since the 2012/2013 survey. No changes to DRP coverage was noted by respondents though Harvard expressed interest in adding Cuba to its DRP coverage. In an editorial correction to the website, Vanderbilt listed Guatemala as one of its commitments. This year a question was asked about methods used to surface DRP expenditures for fiscal year 2017/2018. This question was asked to serve as a jumping point for future thinking about challenges and solutions to discovery of DRP material.

  • A Pinhole Approach to Understanding ILL Costs and Trends, Or, What a Dutch Master Can Teach Us About Analyzing Resource Sharing Data
    Submitted on: 19.09.2017 Document Delivery and Resource Sharing: Transforming Resource Sharing in a Networked Global Environment 10-11 August 2016 Library of Congress, Washington, DC A Pinhole Approach to Understanding ILL Costs and Trends, or, What a Dutch Master Can Teach Us About Analyzing Resource Sharing Data Dennis Massie OCLC Research [email protected] Copyright © 2016 by OCLC. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Abstract: In an environment where library administrators emphasize the virtues of evidence-based decision making, the resource sharing community has access to only a small proportion of the transactional data it needs. Most have access to data from only those groups in which they are active, generated by the resource sharing systems they use. No complete global picture is available. Worse, the most often quoted cost data associated with interlibrary loan activity is more than a decade old and does not cover newer models of sharing library materials. This paper reports on recent efforts by OCLC Research, in consultation with library practitioners, to draw fresh conclusions about current resource sharing costs and trends by studying carefully-selected snapshots of data. Those snapshots include: 1) five years’ worth of collection-sharing data contributed by libraries from two large resource sharing consortia; 2) the results of structured interviews conducted with interlending staff from those consortia; and 3) lessons learned from building an ILL Cost Calculator designed to function as a real-time virtual ILL cost study. By extrapolating from these small samples of data and experience, OCLC Research demonstrates how we might come to a better understanding of our “macro” collection-sharing world by going selectively “micro” – much as Vermeer is rumored to have created some of his most famous masterpieces using the camera obscura technique.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2016 NUMBER OF PAGES : 15 VSI MEDIA 860.426.9253 VSIMEDIA.COM PAGE 1 OF 15 TAPE: INA VANDEBROEK INTERVIEW FOR TRANSCRIPT_MIXDOWN I’m Shannon McCormick from Cigna. This podcast is part of a continuing series we’re doing at Cigna focused on health equity. I recently interviewed Dr. Ina Vandebroek [VAN DE BROOK] in her office at the New York Botanical Garden. Dr. Vandebroek’s office was filled with all kinds of plants – and plant materials. In this interview, she talks about her work as an ethnobotanist and how her research on the use of medicinal plants in Carribbean and Latino communities can lead to improved health equity in those communities. Here’s Ina [EENAH] introducing her work… INA VANDEBROEK Well, I’m a researcher here at the New York Botanical Garden and the Matthew Calbraith Perry Assistant Curator of Economic Botany and the Caribbean Program Director at the Institute of Economic Botany of the New York Botanical Garden. My research is focused on the links between culture, health, and plants – botany. So, I study how cultural groups, communities in New York City, and I’m focusing on Caribbean communities and Latino communities, use medicinal plants for their health care and what their cultural beliefs about health are, and that research, those results are used to develop cultural competency training with health care providers. SHANNON MCCORMICK What is cultural competence and what does it look like? INA VANDEBROEK Cultural competency training is teaching medical students, residents, and healthcare providers on how to become more culturally sensitive with their Latino and Caribbean patients.
