  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Latin America and Caribbean
    Global Economic Prospects: Latin America and the Caribbean June 2021 Recent developments: The region continues to be severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and new cases have spiked after slowing in early 2021. Brazil in particular is grappling with outbreaks of variants that have not only infected but re-infected people. Mobility restrictions were tightened in countries including Argentina, Barbados, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay in the first half of the year, hindering economic activity, especially in the services sector. Vaccination is uneven across countries. External economic conditions have improved since the start of the year. Rising commodity prices have bolstered government revenues and remittance inflows remain robust, supporting consumer spending in Honduras, El Salvador, Jamaica, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. International tourist arrivals are at a small fraction of pre-pandemic levels in much of the Caribbean but have approached half of pre-pandemic levels in the Dominican Republic and Mexico in recent months. Portfolio inflows have slowed, however. Currencies have depreciated and inflation has risen in many countries, albeit from low levels. Given fiscal strains and an assumption of progress in combating the pandemic, spending and tax relief related to COVID-19 is winding down in most countries. Yet the effects of the pandemic remain severe. Employment has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. Income losses have worsened poverty and food security in many countries. Outlook: Regional GDP is projected to grow 5.2% in 2021, assuming moderate progress in vaccine rollouts in most countries, eased mobility restrictions, positive spillovers from advanced economies, and a rise in commodity prices.
