  • Historical and Contemporary Use of Natural Stones in the French West Indies
    Article Historical and Contemporary Use of Natural Stones in the French West Indies. Conservation Aspects and Practices Yves Mazabraud * Géosciences Montpellier, Université des Antilles, Université de Montpellier, CNRS, Morne Ferret, BP517, 97178 Les Abymes, France; [email protected]; Tel.: +590-590-21-36-15 Received: 20 June 2019; Accepted: 19 August 2019; Published: 22 August 2019 Abstract: The French West Indies (F.W.I.), in the Eastern Caribbean, are part of a biodiversity hotspot and an archipelago of very rich geology. In this specific natural environment, the abundance or the lack of various natural resources has influenced society since the pre-Columbian era. The limited size of the islands and the growth of their economy demand a clear assessment of both the natural geoheritage and the historical heritage. This paper presents a brief review of the variety of the natural stone architectural heritage of the F.W.I. and of the available geomaterials. Some conservation issues and threats are evidenced, with particular emphasis on Guadeloupe. Some social practices are also evoked, with the long-term goal of studying the reciprocal influence of local geology and society on conservation aspects. Finally, this paper argues that unawareness is one of the main obstacles for the conservation of the geoheritage and the natural stone architectural heritage in the F.W.I. Keywords: building stones; Guadeloupe; Martinique; French West Indies; eastern Caribbean; cultural heritage; geological heritage; historical and Archaeological sites 1. Introduction In 2002, the law for a Democracy of Proximity [1] was voted by the French parliament. It stated that the State takes care of the conception, the animation, and the evaluation of the Natural Heritage.

  • The Courlander Experience in Tobago
    THE COURLANDER EXPERIENCE IN TOBAGO THE REPUBLIC OF LATVIA: A maritime nation on the Baltic sea with excellent ports, 64.589km2 in area and a population of nearly 2.000.000 inhabitants. There are apx. 1.500.000 Latvians living in Latvia and the rest of the world. 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Latvia. COURLANDERS: Latvians from the province of Courland (Kurzeme). In the days of the Duchy of Courland and Semgallia, a “Courlander” could also be an inhabitant of the province of Semgallia. “Courlander” is a literal translation of the Latvian kurzemnieks. The academic word for anything pertaining to Courland is Couronian. THE DUCHY OF COURLAND AND SEMGALLIA: A de facto independent nation formed in 1561 and existing until 1795, comprised of 2 modern day provinces of Latvia, and ruled by the German-Baltic dukes of Courland, although officially a part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The flags of Courland consisted of a red and white 2 band flag and the red and black “crab” flag which originated in Tobago, as there are no crabs of this type in Latvia. As such, it can be considered the first flag of Tobago. CHRONOLOGY 1639 Sent by Duke Jacob, probably involuntarily, 212 Courlanders arrive in Tobago. Unprepared for tropical conditions, they eventually perish. 1642 (possibly 1640) Duke Jacob engages a Brazilian, capt. Cornelis Caroon (later, Caron) to lead a colony comprised basically of Dutch Zealanders, that probably establishes itself in the flat, southwestern portion of the island. Under attack by the Caribs, 70 remaining members of the original 310 colonists are evacuated to Pomeron, Guyana, by the Arawaks.

Wisdom, James E. Granskog, and Keith A. Blatner Mexico I SUMMARY The West Indies and the continental countries bordering the Caribbean Sea constitute a significant market for U.S. wood products. In 1983, wood product exports to the region totaled almost $157 million. The Caribbean Basin primar- ily is a market for softwood products, with pine lumber being the most promi- nent item. The flow of exports to the region is dominated by (1) overseas shipments from southern ports to the West Indies and (2) overland shipments from the Southwestern United States to Mexico.

I examine how their use of orality, oral literature, and the body in movement create complex levels of textuality, meaning, and reading.

  • Liberalizing Trade in Tourism Services Under The
    LIBERALIZING TRADE IN TOURISM SERVICES UNDER THE CARIFORUM EU ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT: EXAMINING ITS EFFECT ON TOURISM RELATED FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN THE OECS. 1. INTRODUCTION Over the last sixty years, tourism in the Caribbean has grown in stature from a fledgling industry to become the leading employer regionally and the principal earner of foreign exchange in many of the region’s tourism dependent countries. This has occurred against the background of declining fortunes in the once dominant agricultural sector and substantial changes in the international trade regime which have primarily affected exports of sugar and bananas from the Caribbean as noted by (Bishop 2010). Statistical data retrieved from the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) Travel and Tourism Economic Impact Report 2018 on the Caribbean for 2017, indicates that the region is the most tourism dependent regional destination globally. In regional rankings regarding relative contribution for 2017 the Caribbean placed first in four out of six categories (See Table 1) The regional tourism industry is characterised by several types of tourism product offering such as culinary tourism, cultural and heritage tourism, cruise tourism, eco-tourism, festivals, health and wellness tourism, meetings incentives, conference and events tourism, sports tourism and yachting tourism. Also, there are seven sub-regional markets within the Caribbean namely the Dutch West Indies, the French West Indies, Hispanic Caribbean, the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), other Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM), other Commonwealth and the United States Caribbean. Data retrieved from the Caribbean Tourism Organisation for 2014 indicates that the region recorded a strong performance as 26.

The statistics relateto both the continental and intercontinental migrations of citizens and aliens.However, after 1910 the distinction between these two formsof migration cannot be exactly drawn.The majority of aliens arrivefrom or proceed to overseas countries, while the contrary is the case for citizens.
