O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled, as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. Member Engagement... Agenda 1. Ascertainment of Quorum 2.

  • Om British West Indies Regiment Under Første Verdenskrig
    / Om British West Indies Regiment under Første Verdenskrig Indledning Blandt de mange forskellige enheder, der var indsat som en del af de allierede styrker i Mellemøsten, var to enheder fra de engelske kolonier i Vestindien (De caribiske Øer samt Mellem- og Sydamerika) - The British West Indies Regiment og The West Indian Regiment. Hvor den første enhed var et krigstidsoprettet regiment, var den andet en del af den regulære engelske hær; da navnene næsten er sammenfaldende, kan man let blande enhederne sammen. The British West Indies Regiment Regimentsmærke The British West Indies Regiment. Tilvirket efter Badges of the British Commonwealth & British Overseas Territories. Historisk resume 1915: The British West Indies Regiment oprettes: 2 bataljoner gør fronttjeneste i Palæstina, med en depotbataljon i Ægypten 9 bataljoner indsættes som arbejdsbataljoner på Vestfronten og i Italien 1919: Bataljonerne demobiliseres 1922: Regimentet er nedlagt Soldater fra The British West Indies Regiment, fotograferet "Somewhere in France".

INF 10/144 (4) CARIBBEAN THROUGH A LENS ARCHIVE LEARNING RESOURCE TEACHER’S NOTES Photographs are amazing documents that can cross cultural boundaries and communicate a clear message without a word being spoken. How we read photographs also plays a vital role in the way we see and make judgements about what is happening and what messages are conveyed. How we interpret a photograph is linked to our personal connections with place and the assumptions we make between the photographer and sitter/subject. This learning resource attempts to examine representations of race, culture and identity using photographic images from the National Archives Collection. “Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak .” John Berger The worksheets are themed in four sections and have activities on the reverse. Each worksheet will have contextual information as a starting point to investigate and research other photographs and historical documents.

  • Defence and Security in the Anglophone Caribbean
    SPECIAL SECTION 113 The Caribbean Defence and Security in the Anglophone Caribbean The Roads to Cooperation The Anglophone Caribbean and Latin America represent different realities joined through geography and found in the same hemisphere. They share many of the same hemi- spheric structures and also (though only partly) historical agendas and pattern of relations with their neighbours. Knowledge of the defence and security realities of the Caribbean adds to the sense of being part of the same hemisphere and affects the policies of many Latin American countries, as witnessed by the involvement of Guyana in the South American Defence Council, exis- ting cooperation and accords, and their common participation in Defence Ministerial Conferences Defence and Security Forces and the OAS Committee on Hemispheric Security. This Dossier presents data and analyses on twelve countries of the Anglophone Caribbean: Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Antigua Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago. The information contained allows one to and Barbuda appreciate the richness of their relations and experiences and the prospects of bringing the Latin American and Caribbean regions closer, thus associating two regions that evolve and cooperate in the same space. Bahamas Anglophone Caribbean countries’ political systems derive from their British colonial past and, because of both history and language, the region has developed its strongest ties with such actors as Canada, the USA and Great Britain. In matters of security and defence, Anglophone Caribbean countries share an agenda with the one another and, in many instances, participate in regional struc- Barbados tures, including the Regional Security System.

THE HISTORY OF THE SYSTEM OF MUSIC EDUCATION IN JAMAICA: EMANCIPATION IN 1838 TO THE 21st CENTURY A Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music The University of Mississippi by RANDY O. TILLMUTT July 2013 Copyright Randy O. Tillmutt 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The rich and internationally respected Jamaican music culture has been influenced by the system of music education that exists in the country. Public school and college level music education programs in particular have provided the opportunity for students to have an early exposure to music and to pursue a career in music. However, the multitude of opportunities to study and pursue music did not always exist in Jamaica. The goal of this study is to examine the history of music education in Jamaica with particular focus on such influences as British colonialism, the African Diaspora, Jamaican folk music and Jamaican popular music.

  • Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto's Transnational Re
    King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 by John Jason Collins Wilson A dissertation Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © John Jason Collins Wilson, May 2013 ABSTRACT King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 John Jason Collins Wilson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Doctor Catharine Wilson Reggae music facilitated a cultural dialogue between Jamaican migrant and Canadian host in Toronto during the 1970s and 1980s. Exchanges flowed across the city’s ethnic frontier, bridging black and white youth together in an ‘oppositional’ and musical movement. While migrants enacted their Jamaican ethnicity in places where reggae was played, many non-Jamaicans satisfied a curiosity in the music of their migrant friends. This study examines the process of migration of people and music as seen from both the migrant and the host’s perspective. It is as much about black Jamaicans as it is about white Torontonians. Twenty Jamaicans and twenty non-Jamaicans were interviewed for this project. Though reggae became an expected part of Toronto’s musical vernacular, the Canadian version meant different things to different people. Indeed, sometimes the only thread that tied the varied experiences together was that Toronto was the place where reggae happened. Still, as a hybrid, reggae had rather evolved outside of place. It was a transnational musical form, constantly updated by influences traversing the ‘Black Atlantic’ in an on-going and triangular musical conversation.

  • The Gold Coast Police Band, Colonial Record Keeping, and a 1947 Tour of Great Britain
    A FAILED SHOWCASE OF EMPIRE?: THE GOLD COAST POLICE BAND, COLONIAL RECORD KEEPING, AND A 1947 TOUR OF GREAT BRITAIN by NATE PLAGEMAN Abstract. In 1947, the Gold Coast Police Band embarked on a four-month long tour of Great Britain. The event, which was organized by the Accra government and Colonial Office in London, was designed to be a carefully-scripted showcase of the Empire’s merits and future prospects. As a result, the bulk of the written records that colonial officials compiled about it focused not on its actual progression or outcomes, but on their own preparations and confidence about its “inevitable” success. This article examines this pattern of colonial record keeping and looks beyond its overt declarations to analyze a series of incomplete exchanges, isolated letters, and brief references that tell a much more complicated story. Insisting that these archival fragments reveal that the tour did not go as planned, it also proposes that we can use them to engage two topics important to studies of African music during the colonial period: the state’s strategic use of music and the colonial archive’s utility as a source of information about past musical events. In early May 1947, thirty-five members of the Gold Coast Police Band gathered at Accra’s airfield and boarded a plane bound for London.1 Over the next four months, the Band traveled throughout Great Britain, where it appeared in public ceremonies, visited the studios of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and His Master’s Voice (HMV), and performed in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

  • The T.S.S. North Star at Bonne Bay, Newfoundland
    CHAPTER 7 The t.s.s. North Star at Bonne Bay, Newfoundland CRUISING YEARS: NASSAU, A NEW FLAGSHIP AND THE WEST INDIES The "New Northland" Returns to Nassau The New Northland had now been laid up at Quebec for two winters, a situation that the cost-conscious company had wanted to correct for some time. Meanwhile, Munson Lines, now being run by trustees, had reduced its Miami-Nassau service to a fortnightly connection, with just ten sailings by the Munargo during the winter of 1934. Finally, over that same winter Canadian National's Prince David had not been a success and it was not of a mind to send her back to Nassau. This all meant that conditions were now ripe for the New Northland to return. The Government of the Bahamas had now agreed to grant Clarke a subsidy to operate the New Northland between Miami and Nassau, starting in 1935. Although she had not called at Nassau since February 1932, when Governor Sir Bede Clifford had gone aboard, Bahamians remembered the high standards and friendly service that had been her trademarks on the route until 1931. There had still been one area of contention, however. Until now, all ships that had operated between Miami and Nassau had done so strictly as night boats, with passengers leaving the ship on arrival and staying in hotels ashore. But Clarke wanted to offer stay aboard cruises as well. A new kind of subsidy was thus required to protect the tourist trade. Desmond Clarke finally came to an agreement with the Bahamians whereby they would pay a subsidy of only £2,000 (or about $10,000) for a winter season of twice-weekly sailings, but this would rise to £3,000 (or about $15,000) if the New Northland matched or exceeded the number of tourists carried by the Prince David the year before.

  • Jackie Mittoo at Home and Abroad: the Cultural and Musical Negotiations of a Jamaican Canadian
    JACKIE MITTOO AT HOME AND ABROAD: THE CULTURAL AND MUSICAL NEGOTIATIONS OF A JAMAICAN CANADIAN KAREN ANITA ELOISE CYRUS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO June 2015 © Karen A. E. Cyrus, 2015 ABSTRACT Donat Roy ‘Jackie’ Mittoo (1948-1990) made significant contributions to the genres of rock steady and reggae as a musician, producer and musical director of Studio One in Jamaica. He is renowned for the number of recordings that he arranged at Studio One, as well as his own instrumental recordings that featured the organ. He was also among a number of Jamaican musicians who migrated to Canada at the end of the 1960s and was active on the music scene in Toronto, as well as in the UK and the USA. Although Mittoo’s significance to the emergence and dissemination of Jamaican popular music (JPM) is acknowledged by music industry personnel, most studies focus on the big names of reggae and the theme of social protest in their music. Little attention is given to the role of session musicians such as Mittoo and the instrumental recordings that they created. This study attempts to redress this oversight; it will offer the first in-depth account of the career and instrumental recordings of Jackie Mittoo. This dissertation is in two parts. The first section presents a career biography which situates Mittoo’s role within the collective experience of Jamaican session musicians at home in Jamaica, and abroad in the centers of JPM production in Canada, the UK, and the USA.
