  • African Traditional Plant Knowledge in the Circum-Caribbean Region

    Journal of Ethnobiology 23(2): 167-185 Fall/Winter 2003 AFRICAN TRADITIONAL PLANT KNOWLEDGE IN THE CIRCUM-CARIBBEAN REGION JUDITH A. CARNEY Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095 ABSTRACT.—The African diaspora to the Americas was one of plants as well as people. European slavers provisioned their human cargoes with African and other Old World useful plants, which enabled their enslaved work force and free ma- roons to establish them in their gardens. Africans were additionally familiar with many Asian plants from earlier crop exchanges with the Indian subcontinent. Their efforts established these plants in the contemporary Caribbean plant corpus. The recognition of pantropical genera of value for food, medicine, and in the practice of syncretic religions also appears to have played an important role in survival, as they share similar uses among black populations in the Caribbean as well as tropical Africa. This paper, which focuses on the plants of the Old World tropics that became established with slavery in the Caribbean, seeks to illuminate the botanical legacy of Africans in the circum-Caribbean region. Key words: African diaspora, Caribbean, ethnobotany, slaves, plant introductions. RESUME.—La diaspora africaine aux Ameriques ne s'est pas limitee aux person- nes, elle a egalement affecte les plantes. Les traiteurs d'esclaves ajoutaient a leur cargaison humaine des plantes exploitables dAfrique et du vieux monde pour les faire cultiver dans leurs jardins par les esclaves ou les marrons libres. En outre les Africains connaissaient beaucoup de plantes dAsie grace a de precedents echanges de cultures avec le sous-continent indien.

South Asians in Scandinavia: Diasporic Identity Processes Rashmi Singla, Roskilde University, Denmark, [email protected] This chapter1 probes selected social-psychological aspects for South Asian young adults in Denmark and is a follow up of a Danish project conducted in the mid-nineties. The diasporic conceptualizations in respect to human centeredness and cultural processes in migration combined with life course perspective, provide the theoretical framework for this study. In-depth interviews were employed, and information was analyzed through meaning condensation and subsequent categorization of the narratives. The results show the reinterpretation of the self, “others” and home in the diasporic families, for the parental as well as the young generation. The chapter also depicts the young adults’ diasporic identities involving the ancestral countries as well as the Scandinavian welfare societies.

    CARIBBEAN BLACKS and WEST AFRICAN BLACKS: a STUDY in ATTITUDE SIMILARITY and CHANGE HELEN BAGENSTOSE GREEN Wesleyan University

    Interameriean Journal of Psychology, 1970, u, 3-4. CARIBBEAN BLACKS AND WEST AFRICAN BLACKS: A STUDY IN ATTITUDE SIMILARITY AND CHANGE HELEN BAGENSTOSE GREEN Wesleyan University U.S.A. A bstract. Attitudinal responses from a sample of Caribbean Black school students in Trinidad are compared with responses from West African Black students in English-speaking Gambia and with matched East Indian students from the other co-culture in Trinidad. Findings from open-ended questionnaires show the two Black samples to differ from the East Indian sample in the greater priority given to social concerns. Responses related to their initiative and goals in manipulating the environment show the Carib­ bean Black sample to exceed both the West African Black sample and the East Indian sample. Responses related to personality expansion show both the Caribbean Black sample and the East Indian sample to be more out­ going, secure, and realistic than the West African sample. The discussion attributes some of these findings to the continuity of at­ titudes by culture of origin, and others to change induced by the richer physical and psychological opportunities of the Caribbean. Resumen. Se comparan las respuestas actitudinales de dos muestras de estudiantes negros, en Trinidad y en Gambia, y de una tercer muestra de estudiantes Indio-orientales de Trinidad. Los resultados obtenidos indican que las dos muestras difieren de la muestra Indio-oriental en cuanto a la mayor prioridad otorgada a preocupaciones sociales. Las respuestas relacionadas con su iniciativa y objetivos al manipular el ambiente indican que la muestra de negros del Caribe excede tanto a la muestra de negros de Africa occidental (Gambia), como a la muestra Indio-oriental.

Here, we review these records and the global climate teleconnections they suggest following the recent publication of the Speleothem Isotopes Synthesis and Analysis (SISAL) database. We find that low-latitude records generally reflect changes in precipitation, whereas higher latitude records are sensitive to temperature and moisture source variability. Tropical records suggest precipitation variability is forced by orbital precession and North Atlantic Ocean circulation driven changes in atmospheric convection on long timescales, and tropical sea surface temperature variations on short timescales. On millennial timescales, precipitation seasonality in southwestern North America is related to North Atlantic climate variability.

    original contribution ANDRES NOVARO1,2, SUSAN WALKER2*, ROCIO PALACIOS1,3, SEBASTIAN DI MARTINO4, MARTIN MONTEVERDE5, SEBASTIAN CANADELL6, LORENA RIVAS1,2 AND DANIEL COSSIOS7 Endangered Andean cat distribution beyond the Andes in Patagonia The endangered Andean cat Leopardus jacobita was considered an endemic of the Andes at altitudes above 3,000 m, until it was discovered in the Andean foothills of central Argentina in 2004. We carried out surveys for Andean cats and sympatric small cats in the central Andean foothills and the adjacent Patagonian steppe, and found Andean cats outside the Andes at elevations as low as 650 m. We determined that Andean cats are widespread but rare in the northern Patagonian steppe, with a patchy distribution. Our findings suggest that the species’ distribution may follow that of its principal prey, the rock-dwelling mountain vizcacha. The Andean cat was previously believed to be distribution if it does indeed follow that of the endemic to the Andes above 3,000 m (Yensen mountain vizcacha.

A geographic area whose topography has been shaped by the great Scandinavian glacier of the Vistula ice age from 20000 BC to 13 000 BC will thus be reflected upon.

    American-Scandinavian Foundation, Midwest Office Records, 1969-1974

    American-Scandinavian Foundation, Midwest Office records, 1969-1974 Size: 16 linear feet (23 boxes) Acquisition: The collection was transferred from the Special Collections at the Augustana College library to the Swenson Center in 1981. Access: The collection is open for research and a limited amount of copies can be requested via mail. Processed by: Christina Johansson Control Num.: SSIRC I/O:12 Historical Sketch The American-Scandinavian Foundation was founded in 1910 by Danish-American industrialist and philanthropist Niels Poulsen. The ASF is a publicly supported non-profit organization and engages in educational exchange between the United States and Scandinavia. It offers extensive fellowships, grants and trainee placements, as well as publishes and supports cultural events. ASF's main office is located in New York City and it is governed by a Board of Trustees made up by individuals from Scandinavia and the United States. The organization has donors, alumni and members worldwide. Its publication, The American Scandinavian Review, has been published since 1913. In 1969, the foundation enlisted John Norton to set up a regional office at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. Norton coordinated trainee placements, built membership, and developed a regional cultural programming. He was also responsible for seeking funding for programs presented at Scandinavian-American institutions in the Midwest. After two years at Augustana College, the Midwest office moved to Augsburg College in Minneapolis. The office remained at Augsburg until the fall of 1972, and was closed when Norton moved back to Moline, Illinois to resume his career with Deere & Company. During 1969-1972, the Midwest chapter added more than 1,000 new members, primarily through membership incentives connected with group travel to Scandinavia.
