Some historians have emphasized a continental approach and believe research should look west, toward the people that inhabited places outside the traditional “thirteen colonies” that would become the United States, such as the Gulf Coast or the Great Lakes region.

  • The Seasoning of Enslaved Africans in Eighteenth
    DRAFT “[M]anaged at first as if they were beasts:” The Seasoning of Enslaved Africans in Eighteenth-Century Jamaica Nicholas Radburn1 In April 1754, Richard Beckford, the owner of almost a thousand enslaved people in Jamaica, penned a lengthy manuscript guide to plantation management. Beckford explained that the “Success of my plantations… chiefly depend[ed]” on “governing ye minds of my Slaves as Well as exercising their Bodies in a reasonable Manner.” Although Beckford urged the exercise of “Justice & Benevolence” to all enslaved people, he emphasized that particular care needed to be taken with recently arrived Africans. They should be “treated with a very gentle hand & must be inured to labour by degrees,” otherwise “despair” would “tak[e] possession of their Minds” and “all Medicine & future care will be to no purpose.”2 Beckford’s instructions illustrate an important distinction that British Caribbean enslavers made between newly arrived Africans and plantation-born slaves in their management regimes. Planters believed that Africans needed to be “seasoned” over a several-year period to habituate them to the new disease environment and to plantation labor. Enslavers developed numerous seasoning strategies, which they exchanged verbally and via manuscripts such as Beckford’s. By the late eighteenth century, plantation manuals also publicized seasoning techniques, and they typically followed Beckford in advocating a policy of mild treatment towards Africans for several years. Even so, some promoted a much harsher program for seasoning enslaved people.3 Writing twenty years after Beckford, planter-historian Edward Long claimed that Africans were “of so savage a 1 Nicholas Radburn is a lecturer in Atlantic history at Lancaster University.

Of those claims, the Tort Claimants’ Committee estimates that there are approximately 83,807 unique claims if the amended and superseded and multiple claims filed on account of the same survivor are removed. The summary of sexual abuse claims below uses the set of 83,807 of claim for purposes of claims summary below.1 The Tort Claimants’ Committee has broken down the sexual abuse claims in various categories for the purpose of disclosing where and when the sexual abuse claims arose and the identity of certain of the parties that are implicated in the alleged sexual abuse. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a chart that shows the sexual abuse claims broken down by the year in which they first arose. Please note that there approximately 10,500 claims did not provide a date for when the sexual abuse occurred. As a result, those claims have not been assigned a year in which the abuse first arose. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the state or jurisdiction in which they arose. Please note there are approximately 7,186 claims that did not provide a location of abuse. Those claims are reflected by YY or ZZ in the codes used to identify the applicable state or jurisdiction. Those claims have not been assigned a state or other jurisdiction. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the Local Council implicated in the sexual abuse.

  • Jamaica's Parishes and Civil Registration Districts
    Jamaican registration districts Jamaica’s parishes and civil registration districts [updated 2010 Aug 15] (adapted from a Wikimedia Commons image) Parishes were established as administrative districts at the English conquest of 1655. Though the boundaries have changed over the succeeding centuries, parishes remain Jamaica’s fundamental civil administrative unit. The three counties of Cornwall (green, on the map above), Middlesex (pink), and Surrey (yellow) have no administrative relevance. The present parishes were consolidated in 1866 with the re-division of eight now- extinct entities, none of which will have civil records. A good historical look at the parishes as they changed over time may be found on the privately compiled “Jamaican Parish Reference,” http://prestwidge.com/river/jamaicanparishes.html (cited 2010 Jul 1). Civil registration of vital records was mandated in 1878. For civil recording, parishes were subdivided into named registration districts. Districts record births, marriages (but not divorces), and deaths since the mandate. Actual recording might not have begun in a district until several years later after 1878. An important comment on Jamaican civil records may be found in the administrative history available on the Registrar General’s Department Website at http://apps.rgd.gov.jm/history/ (cited 2010 Jul 1). This list is split into halves: 1) a list of parishes with their districts organized alphabetically by code; and 2) an alphabetical index of district names as of the date below the title. As the Jamaican population grows and districts are added, the list of registration districts lengthens. The parish code lists are current to about 1995. Registration districts created after that date are followed by the parish name rather than their district code.

  • Double Exposure Vulnerability of Agriculture in Southwest Jamaica
    Proceedings of the 2nd World Congress on Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering (CSEE’17) Barcelona, Spain – April 2 – 4, 2017 Paper No. ICESDP 112 ISSN: 2371-5294 DOI: 10.11159/icesdp17.112 Double Exposure Vulnerability of Agriculture in Southwest Jamaica Douglas W. Gamble1, Scott Curtis2, Jeff Popke2 1Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences, UNC Wilmington Wilmington, NC, USA 2Department of Geography, Planning & the Environment, East Carolina University Greenville, NC, USA [email protected] Abstract - This case study describes results of research completed 2013-2015 with the purpose of assessing the vulnerability of small farmers in the face of climate change and economic transformation in St. Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica. In particular, the study focuses upon water as a key factor in creating and overcoming double exposure vulnerability. Results indicate that farmers in the study area have developed a strong ethnoclimatological tradition and are very aware of the local meteorological conditions and their relationship to drought despite the lack of readily available, detailed meteorological data for the region. In general, low rain amounts, low soil moisture, and high wind conditions are the cues farmers associated most directly with drought occurrence. Interviews with stake holders across the study area indicate that Jamaican farmers continuously modify water assemblages to control variability and calculate success. Ultimately, farmers intend to be ‘double winners’ in calculating favourable hydro-climatic and market conditions that leverage the agency of water for success. These results provide insight that can be used by Jamaica and other Caribbean Small Island Developing States to address increased drought in a future warmer climate. Keywords: double exposure, drought, agriculture, Jamaica 1.

Throughout the week-long trip, the students immersed themselves in the schools, culture and community. Peters{eld is a small town in Westmoreland Parish, located in the heart of the sugarcane industry. One of the central pillars of the Peters{eld community is the Association of Clubs (AOC), founded in 1988 by John Matthias Brown.

    PHYSICAL HABITAT MAPPING AND ASSESSMENT IN BLUEFIELDS BAY FISH SANCTUARY, WESTMORELAND, JAMAICA A Masters Thesis Presented to The Graduate College of Missouri State University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science, Geospatial Sciences in Geography and Geology By Jennifer Denise Carroll May 2013 PHYSICAL HABITAT MAPPING AND ASSESSMENT IN BLUEFIELDS BAY FISH SANCTUARY, WESTMORELAND, JAMAICA Geography, Geology, and Planning Missouri State University, May 2013 Master of Science Jennifer Denise Carroll ABSTRACT Rising population in the coastal Caribbean have caused the decline of marine resources as demands exceed sustainable levels. The decline of fish populations and fish habitats like seagrass beds, coral reefs, and mangroves is costly because the regional economy depends heavily on tourism and fishing. Major causes of damage are overfishing, climate change, pollution, and sedimentation. In order to address this problem in Jamaica, the Agriculture Ministry created a network of marine protected areas in 2009 including the Bluefields Bay Fish Sanctuary (BBFS) in Westmoreland. The legislation specified the need for a baseline survey of each new fish sanctuary. This study reports on the baseline physical habitat survey of BBFS which is located between Belmont and Savanna-La-Mar and is about 8 km long, 2 km wide, and 10 m at maximum depth. Satellite imagery and field observations were used to map benthic habitat. GPS photologging was completed to map and assess intertidal habitat. Depth, water quality, and benthic habitat type were recorded via GPS along offshore transects. Bathymetry contours were generated from a kriging interpolated surface with a 95% confidence level and error of ± 2.3 ft.
