    Chapter 4: the Imprint of History (17:28-28:30)

    CHAPTER 4: THE IMPRINT OF HISTORY (17:28-28:30) This section discusses the historical context, particularly the slave trade, that developed African American Language (AAL) in the United States. Various linguistic origins and influences on AAL are described. KEY POINTS Slave history and linguistic isolation From the 16th to 19th centuries, approximately 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World via the transatlantic slave trade. 10.7 million survived and disembarked in the Americas and the Caribbean. Approximately 450,000 arrived in the United States. These Africans spoke a variety of West African languages, yet none of these languages survived the Atlantic crossing intact. As linguist John Baugh explains, this slave history produced a unique immigrant group in regards to language use due to the extreme extent of linguistic isolation. Individuals were typically isolated from other speakers of their language while on the coast of West Africa and during the Atlantic crossing. Once they arrived in the United States, they were sold and segregated into households including some larger plantations. They were prohibited from reading and writing and denied access to education for hundreds of years. Linguistic origins and influences As linguist Walter Edwards explains, slaves had to form languages using linguistic properties from surrounding language varieties. Varieties of AAL emerged from these linguistic contact situations with influences from West African Languages and Southern American English varieties, as well as those with roots in England and Ireland. There is some disagreement among linguists regarding the precise origins of AAL. Some believe that the roots of AAL were heavily influenced by earlier European American dialects.

    Bunce Island: a British Slave Castle in Sierra Leone

    BUNCE ISLAND A BRITISH SLAVE CASTLE IN SIERRA LEONE HISTORICAL SUMMARY By Joseph Opala James Madison University Harrisonburg, Virginia (USA) This essay appears as Appendix B in Bunce Island Cultural Resource Assessment and Management Plan By Christopher DeCorse Prepared on behalf of the United States Embassy, Sierra Leone and Submitted to the Sierra Leone Monuments and Relics Commission November, 2007 INTRODUCTION Bunce Island is a slave castle located in the West African nation of Sierra Leone. Slave castles were commercial forts operated by European merchants during the period of the Atlantic slave trade. They have been called “warehouses of humanity.” Behind their high protective walls, European slave traders purchased Africans, imprisoned them, and loaded them aboard the slave ships that took them on the middle passage to America. Today, there were about 40 major slave castles located along the 2,000 miles of coastline stretching between Mauritania in the north and Benin in the south. British slave traders operated on Bunce Island from about 1670 to 1807, exiling about 30,000 Africans to slavery in the West Indies and North America. While most of Bunce Island’s captives were taken to sugar plantations in the Caribbean Basin, a substantial minority went to Britain’s North American Colonies, and especially South Carolina and Georgia. Given the fact that only about 4% of the African captives transported during the period of the Atlantic slave trade went to North America, Bunce Island’s strong link to that region makes it unique among the West African slave castles. Bunce Island’s commercial ties to North America resulted, as we shall see, in this particular castle and its personnel being linked to important economic, political, and military developments on that continent.

Bradley (Committee Chair) Michael J.

Bradley “Ooman’s Wuk: Gullah Womanism in the Creative Works of African American Women” investigates Gullah history and culture as a usable past for modern African American female artists. This project explores the history of rice production and the vital but under-discussed role of women that led to the African retentions still at work on the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia. By exploring the often disavowed female roles, this dissertation argues that once acknowledged, the Gullah woman’s role as ‘keepa a da kulca’ formulates a Gullah womanism or a form of cultural and community activism that is found in the daily lives of the female descendants of Africans living on the Sea Islands.
