In doing so, he had caused alarm among his own people, the Aluku, who continued to regard whites with great suspicion. Over a period of several months, Crevaux and Apatu had penetrated rivers and forests that had yet to appear on European maps; by the time they arrived at the mouth of the Amazon River in Brazil, they had also cemented a friendship that was to bring them together for a number of other journeys over the next few years, a friendship that would last until Crevaux's death in 1882.2 By Crevaux's own account, Apatu had not only 1. An earlier version of this article was presented at the lOlst meeting of the Ameri- can Anthropological Association in New Orleans in November 2002, in a session titled "Old Colonies, New Post-Colonies: The French West Indies and the End of Postcolonial Theory." The field research on which it is partially based received support at various points from the Fulbright-Hays program, the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, the (U.S.) National Science Foundation, the Smithsonian Institution, and the (U.S.) National Endowment for the Humanities, for which I remain grateful. I would also like to express my appreciation to Anne-Marie Bruleaux, Wim Hoogbergen, and the late Ben Scholtens for sharing archival documents that contributed insights to this paper, and to Richard Price for commenting on an earlier draft. 2. In all, Crevaux and Apatu traversed approximately 12,000 kilometers in their travels together, visiting parts of French Guiana, Dutch Guiana, Brazil, France, Colombia, Venezuela, and Trinidad over a period spanning roughly five years. Apatu deserves credit New West Indian Guide /Nieuwe West-Indische Gids vol. 78 no. 3 & 4 (2004): 197-227 Downloaded from Brill.com10/04/2021 06:30:31AM via free access 198 KENNETH BILBY proven indispensable as his chief navigator, but had risked his life more than once on Crevaux's behalf.3 His skills as a navigator and his knowl- edge of the forest had also saved Crevaux's life on more than one occa- sion (Crevaux 1987:136; Crevaux 1989:68-69, 78-79). Through Crevaux's writings, readers in Paris came to know the courageous Maroon as Ie fidele Apatou, faithful Apatu. When Crevaux invited Apatu to join him again on his second journey into the Guianese interior, the latter agreed, but under one condition: that the explorer would take him to France once their voy- age was over. "You've seen my country," said Apatu. "I want to see yours" (Crevaux 1987:178).4 It was a promise that Crevaux kept. I have yet to find a detailed written account of Apatu's travels in France, but I have heard several oral accounts from present-day Aluku Maroons. Here's part of one, recorded in 1986, roughly a century after the fact: They were sleeping on the raft. They had already come to the sea, and they saw a ship. And Apatu took off a piece of his clothing, put it on a stick, and started waving it. He was waving it and waving it, until the sailors on the ship saw. They came over to them, and stopped the ship. They went onto the ship. [The sailors] saw Teevo [Crevaux].5 He and the other whites already knew each other - you know how white people are with other white people. Then they brought them to France. The white man traveled with Apatu until they came to the part of the country where he lived, and he brought Apatu to his house. They were there until the other white men started coming to take a look at Apatu. They hadn't known any black people before - the black people from here. They came to look Apatu up and down, all the way up to his head. They were scraping him to see if [the black would come off and] he would turn white. That's the story we've been given. Well, they kept on coming there. Then [Crevaux] said to them, "well, the way Apatu and I traveled, we didn't have guns, but with that bow that he has, he would kill tapirs, he'd kill jaguars, he'd kill anything that was dangerous with that bow." Then the whites said they were going to make a bet. They would put a buil on a field for Apatu, to see if he could kill it with a bow. Because they along with Crevaux for being one of the first visitors from outside to explore major por- tions of both the Amazon and Orinoco basins (Crevaux 1987, 1989). 3. In Crevaux's own words: "The Aluku Negro Apatu, led by the desire to see the great Amazon River, driven by the pride of making a voyage that none of his companions had dared to undertake, risked his life more than once to ensure the success of my mission" (Crevaux 1879:709). 4. Translations of Crevaux, and Anonymous 1993, Bellardie, Benoit, Brunetti, Coudreau, Hurault, Scholtens, Simon, and Vaillant are mine, as are translations of Aluku oral narratives. 5. In Aluku oral accounts, Crevaux is sometimes referred to as "Dokute Teevo" or "Data Teevo" (meaning "Dr. Crevaux"), which accurately reflects the French explorer's cre- dentials: Crevaux bore the official title of Médecin de lère classe de la marine (Crevaux 1879:726). Downloaded from Brill.com10/04/2021 06:30:31AM via free access THE EXPLORER AS HERO: LE FIDELE APATOU 199 didn't believe that he could kill a tapir or stop a buil [with just a bow and arrow]. The white man [Crevaux] said that Apatu would kill it. The others said, "no way." This one said, "he can't," the other one said, "he can't." They talked about it for a while, until [Crevaux] said, "well, I' 11 go over to him. I'll let you know what he says to me." His white man went over to him and said, "well, Apatu, those men are challenging you. They say they'11 put a buil on a field for you tomorrow at twelve o'clock. If you're able to shoot and kill it, it'11 mean millions. Because the people who are betting have put down a lot of money." Then he said, "okay, well I'll kill the buil." He [Crevaux] said, "Apatu, will you be able to kill it?" He said, "ha!... that silly thing? I'll kill it." He said, "okay." They were there until it was time. [Crevaux] came to piek him up in a vehicle, and they left. They tethered the buil in the field. The white people were sitting down "bolou"! They say that when he looked, there were white people as far as he could see, all the way into the city. They arrived. Apatu took his bow and goot it ready. He stood up with it until he was nice and ready. He walked over, "tya, tya, tya." The buil was still there. He shot it "tyou"! The buil feil down "brou!" It was dead. [Then all the white people applauded]: "Oui, Apatou! Oui, Apatou! Oui, Apatou! Oui, Apatou!" Even the whites said so. They clapped their hands, "wala wala wala wala." They came and shook his hand, put him in a vehicle, and brought him home. He'd already won. And when it was time, he said he wanted to go back to his country. Then the white man brought him back to Cayenne, and from Cayenne to Saint-Laurent. At that time there were no airplanes, only ships. He got off at Saint-Laurent, and took a boat to where they'd made a village for him called Apatu, below the Hermina Falls. He was there, and the whites said that if he wanted to make his camp, his village, then he could make his village there. Then he made his village there. The whites were help- ing him, paying people to establish the place. And so you see he made a village there. He was there for a while, until he went upriver to the Aluku Maroon country, to talk with his family, telling them that he was making a village down there. And one by one, his sisters went downriver [to visit him], planning to go back and forth. But they stayed, until the village of Apatu grew big, like how you see it today. That's how the story goes.6 A shorter version of the same story was told to me by another Aluku oral historian a few years later, in 1991: When they went over there [to France], his white man [Crevaux] said, "I have a man here, and he's as good as a [white] officer.

Since the identification of Zika virus (ZIKV) in Brazil in May 2015, the virus has spread throughout the Americas. However, ZIKV burden in the general population in affected countries remains unknown. Methods. We conducted a general population survey in the different communities of French Guiana through individual inter- views and serologic survey during June–October 2017. All serum samples were tested for anti-ZIKV immunoglobulin G antibodies using a recombinant antigen-based SGERPAxMap microsphere immunoassay, and some of them were further evaluated through anti-ZIKV microneutralization tests.

I intend to consider two regional factors that influenced the decision of both the Cayenne Government and the metropolitan government to build military forts in the region. Such factors are the Cabanagem and the attempts of black Bonis to settle in Lower Oiapoque. I will go on to show that the French withdrawal from Amapá Lake in 1840, but not from the post on the right bank of the Oiapoque River, was due not only to international and diplomatic factors but also had regional causes. Notwithstanding the French government's interests in expanding the territory of its South American colony, I want to draw attention to the threats - real or fictitious - of Cabanos, from Brazil, and black Bonis, from Dutch Guiana. 1 This article forms part of a research project funded by Gerda Henkel Foundation (Germany) about the region of the French-Brazilian Boarding between 1840-1900. It is a revised and extended version of my participation at the ANPUH 2015 XXVIII National History Symposium, held in Florianópolis.

THE AMAZON: Study Abroad and the Environmental Imagination Michael D. Monahan In wildness lies the preservation of the world. —Henry David Thoreau It is said that Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746 – 1828), the masterful Spanish painter, believed that el tiempo también pinta (time also paints). He was concerned, no doubt, with how the changing sensibilities of society and of observers of art might influence how his paintings were interpreted. But he was also, perhaps, suggesting something of much larger import: the great impact that the passage of time can have on intellectual currents and on the evolution of thinking, including human conceptions of being, perceptions of nature, and the dynamic interplay between reason and the creative imagination. One might also imagine that “space paints” so that, for example, while our nat- ural surroundings are interpreted, understood, and expressed in a particular way here, they may well hold a very different mean- ing there.

  • Saramaka Maroons on the Brazilian Frontier Richard Price College Of
    Saramaka Maroons on the Brazilian Frontier Richard Price College of William and Mary, Virginia, USA, and Anse Chaudière, Martinique Maroons in the Americas have always been champions at seizing the moment, whether in battles against their colonial enemies or in carving out imaginative economic niches in more recent times. This essay focuses on Maroon men from central Suriname who, in the second half of the nineteenth century, migrated to French Guiana where they monopolized the river transport system that supplied thousands of non-Maroon goldminers in that colony and, in the process, created a new of way of life for themselves and their descendants. The Oyapok region of French Guiana, which borders the Brazilian state of Amapá, might best be considered the distant frontier of a distant frontier B many thousands of kilometers from the metropolitan political center of Paris, many hundreds through the forest from the colonial capital of Cayenne, and, from the perspective of the Saramaka Maroons of central Suriname, at the farthest edge of the known geographical universe. In 1900, the mayor of the Commune de l=Oyapok gave the total population as 304. (He did not include members of the Aindigenous tribes of autochthonous or African origin living in the region@ which, according to a 1901 document, lived there Aunder the administrative protection of the customs service.@) Despite plans on the drawing board in 2002 for a bridge between St.- Georges-de-l'Oyapok and the Brazilian town of Oiapoque and for a road between St.- Georges-de-l'Oyapok and Cayenne (which would in theory permit direct road travel between, say, Macapá and Cayenne) the region has long remained a backwater B in 1971, for example, the largest town in the region, St-Georges-de-l'Oyapok, boasted only two cars.1 By 1900, when Saramaka Maroon migrants from Suriname (the main Atribe .
