Agreement to propose item(s) for inclusion on the World Digital Library if inscribed 1 Nomination form International Memory of the World Register Route/Root to Freedom: A case study of how enslaved Africans gained their freedom on the dual national island of Sint Maarten/Saint Martin ID Code 2016-96 1.0 Summary Through the Treaty of Concordia, the island of Saint Martin is connected to two European powers – the Netherlands and France. The Dutch side of the island is known as Sint Maarten (16 mi²) and the French side as Saint Martin (21 mi²). During colonialism the enslavement of peoples from Africa was commonly practiced by European colonisers. The granting of freedom to those who were enslaved took place at different times in different European countries. This nomination illustrates how the enslaved attached to one European power took advantage of the freedom given to the enslaved by another European regime. The French freed their enslaved persons on May 28th1848 with a decision of the government that came to power after the French revolution in 1848. However, enslavement remained a fact of life in Sint Maarten until July 1st 1863. On 29 May, the day after the abolition of enslavement in the French territories, twenty-six persons, the entire enslaved population of Diamond Estate Plantation in Sint Maarten, fled to the French Plantation Mount Fortune in Saint Martin where they were recognized as free men and women. The Dutch Commander, Johannes Willem van Romondt, wrote the French Commander Sir Munier, asking him to return any runaway slaves. The French Commander replied that any enslaved person who reached French territory would be considered free. This nomination consists of a series of letters from Johannes Willem van Romondt, to the French Commander, and to the Governor of Curacao in his function as the Dutch West Indies administrative head. The nomination more importantly includes the response from the French Commander as part of the correspondence dating from when slavery was abolished in the French territories in 1848 up to and after slavery ended in the Dutch territories in 1863. 2.0 Nominator 2.1 Name of nominator Department of Records & Information Management of Sint Maarten 2.2 Relationship to the nominated documentary heritage Custodians of the Government Archives of Sint Maarten 2.3 Contact person(s) (to provide information on nomination) Alfonso Blijden 2.4 Contact details Name: Alfonso Blijden Address: Department of Records & Information Management Clem Labega Square Philipsburg, Sint Maarten Telephone: 1-721-520-2048 Facsimile Email: [email protected] 1-721-553-1613 2 3 3.4 History/provenance The archives of Sint Maarten date back to the 19th century. A substantial part of the archives were destroyed by a fire in 1974. The document in question forms part of correspondence dating back to when slavery was abolished in the French territories in 1848, up until, and after slavery was abolished in the Dutch territories in 1863. The nature of the writing and language used are indicative of the style and manner of writing in the mid-19th century in Sint Maarten. The existence of these documents was unknown until 2004 when they were found within the archives of the Government of Sint Maarten by Mr. Alfonso Blijden, the official curator of the Government Archives for Sint Maarten. 4.0 Legal information 4.1 Owner of the documentary heritage Name: Address: Department of Records and Information Clem Labega Square, Philipsburg, Sint Management Maarten Telephone: Facsimile Email: 1-721-520-2048 [email protected] Name Address (same as above) Telephone Facsimile Email 4.3 Legal status Category of ownership The documents are owned by the Government of Sint Maarten under the Island Ordinance of Sint Maarten on Archives 2008. 4.4 Accessibility Some of these documents are in desperate need of preservation as they were kept in an 4 inadequate storage area until they were found in 2004 by Mr. Alfonso Blijden, the official curator of the Government Archives of Sint Maarten. Due to the fragile nature of the documents, access is limited until they can be digitalized. For the time being they will be accessible via the UNESCO St. Maarten site www.unesco.sx and http://www.sintmaartengov.org 4.5 Copyright status There is no copyright restriction except for the regulations of the Archives concerning the use and publication of documents in general 5.0 Assessment against the selection criteria 5.2 World significance The abolition of enslavement took place at different times—based on a timeline determined by the various metropolitan countries. A critical significance of this nomination is that it demonstrates how aware the enslaved were of the process of freedom and how differently metropolitan nations approached abolition. The nomination indicates how a group of enslaved persons took advantage of the legal realities of the dual national island space in which they were located. As the island Sint Maarten/Saint Martin was governed by two different metropolitan powers whose abolition dates were different, Saint Martin on May 28th 1848 and Sint Maarten on July 1st 1863, there were strategic advantages that could be taken. The enslaved from the Diamond Estate on Sint Maarten walked along a track through which the international border between Holland and France ran on May 28th 1848. Once they crossed the border, they became subjects governed by French law which made them free men and women, and not Dutch law which would have kept them in enslavement. The ability to walk from one country to another to acquire freedom is a very unusual phenomenon within the historiography of enslavement and being free. Freedom in the West Indies was often acquired by running away into the hinterland (Jamaica); swimming (from St. John to Tortola in the Virgin Islands); or, for the very fortunate leaving an island by boat. The ability to walk to freedom and have it granted immediately adds to the narrative of freedom in the Caribbean, especially given that the French refused to comply with the wishes of the Dutch—to return the “escapees”. These documents are of great significance because they demonstrate the tension between the laws and mentalities of two different nations and the accommodations that had to be made when two different colonial powers shared a space without an effective or enforceable border. Image 6: Map depicting the proximity of the border and the Diamond Estate Plantation 5 5.3 Comparative criteria: Does the heritage meet any of the following tests? (It must meet at least one of them.) 5.3.1 Time The British abolished enslavement in 1833 and emancipation became effective in their overseas territories in 1834. The Dutch, however, did not abolish slavery until 1863, while the French took this step in 1848. These documents demonstrate how different metropoles granted freedom according to a time line of their choice and that some countries kept the system longer than others. 5.3.2 Place The island of Sint Maarten/Saint Martin was divided between the Dutch and the French by the Treaty of Concordia (or Partition Treaty) 1648. Since 1817, when the border was officially established, the two countries have co-existed peacefully on the same small island. While the border is known, and marked in certain places, no legalities are enforced or required to move from one side to the other. Hence, the 26 enslaved persons were able to walk from one “country” to another in order to obtain their freedom. The distance between the two plantations, Diamond Estate on the Dutch side and Plantation Mount Fortune on the French side is not far. Furthermore, the route taken by those enslaved by the Dutch was through an area that was not densely populated. Hence, the opportunity for those enslaved on the Diamond Estate was not an insurmountable challenge. 5.3.3 People Enslaved people in the Dutch colonies, for example, knew that both the British and the French declared that any person arriving on their soil would be considered a free man or woman after 1834 and 1848, respectively. In a region in which the islands of different nations are visible on a clear day, enslaved people could and did row boats to islands in which they could be free such as English St.

PROOF 1 Only Ten: Islands as Uncomfortable Fragmented Polities Godfrey Baldacchino The setting The existence of multiple jurisdictions on distinct continental spaces raises no eyebrows. There are 54 countries in Africa, 50 countries in Europe, 44 in Asia, 23 in North and Central America and 12 in South America. Nor do we habitually consider Africa, North America or South America (let alone Eurasia) as islands, even though – since the carving of the Suez and Panama canals – they would each qualify as pieces of land surrounded by water. Perhaps that is because a continent is often deemed too large to be considered an island. But there is another tru- ism to be considered: that an island deserves a unitary polity. Islands are such special places that they should only be run by, and as, a sin- gle administration. How else could one explain Australia, not exactly a small territory, being called an island continent? If Australia is success- fully conceptualised as an island – apart from being a continent – this may result not so much by virtue of its size – which is considerable, since it is almost as large as Europe – but by virtue of the fact that it has been, since January 1901, a single country (McMahon 2010).

    Intervention 1ère vice-présidente Valérie DAMASEAU 371ème anniversaire du Traité de Concordia Samedi 23 mars 2019 Since 1648, the island of Saint Martin has been divided into two parts and has been placed under different national sovereignties. You are probably wondering why I choose to recall something that everyone on this island knows, native or not. I recall this reality because we have become so familiar with it that we have lost sight of its importance. This is precisely why we are here today, commemorating the signing of the Treaty of Concordia. We want to reactivate the importance of this day and revive in every one of us a reality that holds within itself the singularity and the challenges, as persons living on Saint Martin, are confronted with politically, administratively, economically, socially and culturally every day. We are not here because we were looking for another opportunity to celebrate. NO. We are here to remind ourselves that this long-standing division has never impaired the peaceful living together of the French and Dutch community. It has never impaired the harmony that so uniquely characterizes us for hundreds of years and most interestingly, it has not impaired the general principles contained within the Franco/Dutch Partition Treaty. But the world has changed considerably since 1648. It continues to change rapidly today, and the fast changes have shaking our traditional foundations and balances. So much so, that neither Saint Martin nor Sint Maarten can continue to live according to principles and virtues that were laid down in 1648. When reality change, the ways in which we handle those issues must also change.

    PRESIDENT DANIEL GIBBS ST. MARTIN’S DAY ADDRESS 2020 *Madame the Préfète déléguée auprès du représentant de l’Etat dans les collectivités de St Barthélemy et Saint-Martin, Your Excellency Governor of Sint Maarten, Honorable President of the Parliament of Sint Maarten, Madame la Députée de Saint-Martin et St Barthélemy, Madame la Sénatrice de Saint-Martin, Honorable Prime Minister of Sint Maarten and the Council of Ministers, Honorable Vice-presidents et elected members of the Territorial Council, Chers élus et représentants des organisations socio- professionnelles, Dear friends, The 11th of November is a special time of the year for us Saint- Martiners, as we jointly celebrate and honor the friendship and family ties that unite us. Unfortunately, this year, circumstances are unfavorable to celebrating as we are accustomed to. Last year, I had already shared with you my concerns: "Saint-Martin revered as a welcoming and hospitable land, is being threatened in its most fundamental values". This is even more the case today with the health crisis we have been experiencing since March, which suddenly worsened this summer. It has since improved over the last six weeks but remains none-the-less fragile. To date, 32 Saint-Martiners have lost their lives to COVID-19. That’s a lot for an island of 80,000 people…It is too many. Should we compare these numbers on the scale of our respective metropolitan cities, they would be equivalent to 6,800 deaths in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and 27,000 deaths in the French Republic. Let's us spare a thought for those we have lost.

  • Grand-Case (Saint-Martin / French West Indies)
    CLAUS D. PUSCH (FREIBURG IM BREISGAU) The linguistic landscape of business in an ‘anglophone’ francophonie: Grand-Case (Saint-Martin / French West Indies) Summary This contribution surveys the bottom-up signage of commercial businesses in Grand-Case, an emblematic village on the north-western coast of St. Martin, a small island of the Lesser Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean which is politically divided between a Dutch part (Sint Maarten) and a French part (Saint-Martin). English is the vernacular language of the island and the vehicular language in tourism, the mainstay of St. Martin’s economy, while French is the (only) official language on the French side. After providing basic information on Saint-Martin’s / St. Martin’s history and its complex current sociolinguistic situation, the paper reports on the results of an empirical LL study carried out in early 2014, which suggest that English is definitely the preferred language for informative (denotative) communication on signs, while French can be found in informative as well as in symbolic (connotative or identitarian) uses. In the latter case, it tends to undergo commodification. Keywords Saint-Martin (French West Indies), French-English multilingualism, bottom- up commercial signage, language commodification 1 Introduction The Caribbean can be claimed to be a region par excellence for the study of ethnic, cultural and linguistic encounters, both historically and synchroni- cally. First, in a historical perspective, this region has been the plaything of colonial powers from the

    38169_u01.qxd 7/10/08 10:04 AM Page 11 chapter 1 So Many Men, So Many Histories The History That Matters to the Islanders So many men, so many histories. Such an axiom is undoubtedly heresy for any serious student of history. Yet on multicultural and multinational SXM this saying is true. Those who think that newcomers can never love a place without a proper grasp of that place’s history should visit this is- land. Those who think that SXM natives (or, locals) are always keen to know and preserve their history would be equally astonished. Newcom- ers and locals alike claim to love SXM, but their accuracy of (archival) historical knowledge of the island leaves much to be desired. Most of them like it that way. Appealing to a shared history lacks binding power on this island. One does not claim belonging because one knows histor- ical facts. In fact, the opposite is the case: one belongs because one doesn’t give a hoot about historical facts. By not caring about history, the island residents render it unimportant. As a result, the line between archival history and pure fiction is constantly being breached. Who gives a damn about Truth? Belonging becomes all about pragmatic truths im- provised on historical facts that few people know. Here is a people hap- pily ignorant of history. As Freud long ago taught us, history can con- tribute to the narcissism of small differences. Contemporary SMXers do not care that early-twentieth-century SXMers would scarcely recognize the island that has resulted from the 1960s tourist boom.

    English speech – President Daniel GIBBS Saint-Martin’s Day 2019 Seul le prononcé fait foi Your Excellency Governor Holiday, Madame la Préfète déléguée auprès du représentant de l’Etat dans les collectivités de St Barthélemy et Saint-Martin, Honorable President of the Parliament of Sint Maarten, Monsieur le Sénateur de Saint-Martin, Honorable Prime Minister of Sint Maarten and Council of Ministers, Chers vice-présidents et membres élus du conseil territorial de Saint-Martin, Chers élus et représentants des organisations socio-professionnelles, Chers représentants des Conseils de quartier, et présidents des associations de quartier, Distinguished guests, Fellow Saint-Martiners, Every November 11th, St. Martin's day, is a time of joy and of sharing for all of the Saint-Martiners. It is an opportunity to come together to celebrate the traditions on which is based our shared identity and to showcase the richness of our culture and traditions. Our patronal celebration was built on the values of solidarity initiated by Saint-Martin of Tours. The act of generosity of this man of faith, who illustrated himself in the 4th century by offering the lining of his coat to a homeless person, is deeply rooted in our collective memory. He defines who we are: a supportive, welcoming and generous people. Our unity around the great symbols of equality and fraternity, we owe it also to the Treaty of Concordia, signed in March 1648. 1 This Treaty, which sealed our binational friendship, abolished the trade borders between north and south and facilitated our trade for 371 years. It is an exceptional longevity, which must be emphasized! But far beyond the commercial stakes, it is a fraternal and family bond that we have maintained for nearly 400 years.

  • Saint Martin's Change of Political Status
    CAtherINE BENOÎT Saint Martin’S Change of Political Status: Inscribing Borders AND Immigration Laws onto Geographical Space Anthropologists often analyze globalization as the circulation of goods, peo- ple, and ideas that triggers the decrease in nation-state prerogatives and the opening of nation states’ borders. In such an analysis, migrations are trans- national: people move back and forth between their home country and the host country. Economic and demographic change in St. Martin seems to be a model for the usual scholarly approach to study globalization.1 As for the circulation of goods and capital, the economic growth of St. Martin as an offshore financial center and a free port has been due to the movement of untaxed capital for the development of tourism. Where the circulation of peo- ple is concerned, up until recently no visa was required for Caribbean citizens, and the absence of a border between the French and the Dutch sides ensured the movement of people from the Caribbean, Asia, and Europe – who make up nearly 80 percent of the total population – between the two parts of the island. The recent migrations of these people succeeded the migrations of St. Martiners themselves who, from the late nineteenth century until the 1960s, moved to other Caribbean islands or the east coast of the United States either seasonally or permanently. Thus residents of St. Martin have family networks that cover several continents and which can be characterized as transnational. Finally, with regard to the circulation of ideas, English is the mother tongue of St. Martiners, while French and Dutch are the official languages used by the governments.
