ATLANTIC ISLANDS & AFRICAN SHORES Cape Verde, Western ATLANTIC ISLANDS & AFRICAN SHORES Cape Verde, Western Sahara, Spain (Canary Islands and Mainland Europe), Portugal (Madeira and Mainland Europe), Morocco and UK (Gibraltar) Praia to Lisbon April 23, 2015 | 14 Days | Voyage 7508 Explore in the wake of the world’s discoverers, as we travel from the Cape Verde Islands in front of West Africa to Portugal. Our “Atlantic Islands and African Shores” expedition offers guests an array of opportunities to steep themselves in history, experience disparate cultures, and travel against a variety of backdrops. Along the way, see celebrated sites and regions that are as different as they are spectacular. From the dry deserts of the Sahara to the wine- making land of Morocco, the contrasts you will experience are endless and make for an exhilarating journey that exposes the world in all her wonder. Expedition Highlights: Follow the trading routes of Henry the Navigator Meet the nomadic Sahraouis in Western Sahara Wander through ancient laurel tree forests Learn of this region’s European colonization Visit “The Rock of Gibraltar” –the landmark of a British Overseas Territory in Europe. Contemplate the solemn history of slave trade sites Day 1 — Praia, Cape Verde Embark Silver Explorer for your 14-day Silversea Expedition. Once onboard, meet some of your fellow explorers as you become acquainted with the ship’s luxurious amenities and attend a safety briefing. This evening you will be introduced to your Expedition Team. Once you have settled in and had your first dinner at the Restaurant Silver Explorer will set sail. Day 2 — Mindelo, Sao Vicente, Cape Verde Upon arrival, you have the option to take a walking tour through Mindelo City, to take in the area’s lovely Colonial architecture, historical landmarks, monuments, and beautiful gardens. Observe the people and lifestyles of Mindelo whilst strolling along Rua de Praia and Main Street. Along the way we will see sites such as the Mindelo handicraft museum, the vegetable market, D. Luis Plaza, Independence Plaza, several monuments, and the replica of the Mindelo Lisboa Belem Tower. Our tour concludes with some refreshments, a live performance of local traditional music and a ‘Coladera’ dance exhibition. Alternatively, depart the pier for a scenic drive through Mindelo City, to take in some of the city’s highlights before continuing to Catfish Bay Beach for breath-taking ocean vistas. Your drive carries on towards the Parque Natural Monte Verde for panoramic views of Pico de Vento before returning to Catfish Bay Beach for refreshments, a live performance of local traditional music and a ‘Carnival’ exhibition. Days 3-4 — At Sea Binoculars and camera in hand, head out on deck to watch for seabirds and marine mammals. Attend informative lectures that will prepare you for the upcoming ports-of-call and encounters that lie ahead. Peruse an array of titles and topics in the well-stocked Library, enjoy the finest cigars and cognacs at the Connoisseur’s Corner or indulge in any of the other special amenities offered aboard ship. Gather in The Theatre to hear fascinating tales of adventure and to learn more about the region’s endemic wildlife and remarkable nature. Our knowledgeable Lecture Staff members are experts in a variety of scientific fields. Other onboard diversions include spa treatments, a workout in the Fitness Centre, and, of course, exquisite dining experiences. Day 5 — Dakhla, Western Sahara Dakhla is located at the tip of a thin peninsula and we will head ashore this afternoon to explore and to capture a sense of this area with our cameras. Historically, this was once a Spanish colony named Villa Cisneros and an Old Spanish lighthouse still stands on the outskirts of town. It is possible to climb the 240 steps for magnificent views in all directions. Disembark the ship and depart on 4×4 vehicles across the modern part of Dakhla toward the main land. We will drive along the Laguna of Dakhla, a paradise for migratory birds, especially flamingos. As it is windy for over 300 days of the year kite-surfers and wind-surfers have joined the birds on the lagoon recently. We will venture into incredible scenery until we reach a Sahraoui camp set up overlooking the Laguna and a beautiful white sand dune. Discover for a few hours the Sahraoui culture, exclusively nomadic and centered on dromedaries, with a tea ceremony (3 small glasses minimum if you want to be polite), ride a camel, visit the replica of a Sahraoui family encampment and discover the breath-taking view from the top of the White Dune. 4x4s will be available to go birding from the campsite with the onboard ornithologist (depending on the tide and bird presence in the area). If you prefer to stay in port, a walk along the beach reveals the main industry to be fishing. The simple, rustic boats clustered together make for excellent images, as do the whitewashed buildings, chaotic streets and fabrics woven in colorful patterns. Day 6 — Las Palmas, Spain Las Palmas, the largest town of the Canary Islands, boasts more than 380.000 inhabitants. It was here that Columbus had to wait for repairs to the Pinta before he headed across the Atlantic. The house he used is now functioning as a museum and has 25.000 books for specialized studies relating to Columbus, his voyages, pre-Columbian America and the connection between the Canary Islands and America. You can also visit the Cathedral of Santa Ana, which took more than 300 years to be completed. At the Santa Catalina Hotel take a stroll through the Doramas Garden and the Canary Village before you drive to the Bandama Crater for a sweeping view of the extinct volcano, the valley below and the city of Las Palmas in the distance. Alternatively venture along the northern coast to visit some of the smaller towns: Arucas with its cobbled streets and impressive neo-gothic church, Firgas with its watermill and fountains – giving it the nickname of “Village of Water”, passing Moya, where you will have a breathtaking view of the valley below and two volcanoes. The drive into the Valley of Agaete is not for the faint-hearted or if you suffer from vertigo. Here you will visit the vineyard “Finca La Taja” where you will taste local wines and some ham, local cheese and cakes before you return to Las Palmas via the coastal road. Day 7 — San Sebastian, La Gomera, Spain For a general overview of La Gomera, its dramatic landscape and its people, we will drive to ‘Laguna Grande’. After a short visit to the National Park we will then continue through one of the oldest laurel forests worldwide –declared UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in 1986. At the breath-taking look-out (and restaurant) ‘Mirador Palmarejo’ we will enjoy the view of Valle Gran Rey and will be spoilt with local tapas. At El Cercado we intend to visit some of the famous local pottery artisans working without a pottery wheel –a tradition passed from one generation to another. If you are more inclined to hiking, the National Park of Garajonay is undoubtedly La Gomera’s most outstanding attraction. It is one of the world’s most ancient forests and densely packed with laurel trees. Leaving San Sebastian, we make our ascent into the spectacular forest, which stands at 4,000 feet above sea level and affords breath-taking panoramic views that stretch to the neighboring islands of Tenerife in the east and La Palma in the west. In all, La Gomera has some 50% of all laurel found in the Canary Islands and 16 varieties of laurel thrive in Garajonay, as well as some 400 species of flora, including Canary willow and Canary holly. Everything is covered in moss and lichen because of the moist conditions and vast canopy that lets little light through. Around 2 million years ago, laurel forest covered most of the Mediterranean, but most has been wiped out because of climate change. We will have plenty of amazing photographic opportunities before we make our descent to the coast and the Valley of the Great King. The valley is ringed by mountains and terraced farms cling to the slopes all around. We will learn that it was once home to the island’s last Guanche chieftain during the conquest of La Gomera at the beginning of the 15th century. Day 8 — Funchal, Madeira, Portugal This afternoon we will have the opportunity to discover the interior of the island by way of walking along one of the footpaths alongside the unique and complex irrigation system of levadas. These channels were dug by hand into the mountainside in the 19thcentury to carry water from high up in the mountains down to the fields and villages below. The first part of our walk is mostly a gentle stroll on level ground to Camacha (2,296ft/700m), where a refreshment stop will be made before we continue to Rochão. Alternatively, spend the afternoon enjoying a true “taste” of Madeira. We will drive west along a winding coastal road, passing by the picturesque fishing village of Câmara de Lobos. At a stop we will try a local drink called “Poncha”made from Rum and honey. The road then heads up the mountains into important winegrowing areas where we visit the private property Quinta São João, a charming 17th century homestead. Birds of Paradise, bananas and grapes are cultivated on the property. The grapes are used to make the famous Madeira wine, and we will tour the wine cellar where we can sample some of the finest Madeira Wines. Our drive continues through pinewoods and eucalyptus forest to Cabo Girão – the second highest sea cliff in the world, and the highest in Europe.

Ferreira Follow this and additional works at: https://vc.bridgew.edu/jcvs Part of the Critical and Cultural Studies Commons, and the International and Area Studies Commons This item is available as part of Virtual Commons, the open-access institutional repository of Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, Massachusetts. © 2019 Eunice S. Ferreira Cape Verdean Theatre: Enacting Political Theory and Reclaiming Roots for Crioulo Performance by Eunice S. Ferreira Abstract Shining a spotlight on the Cape Verde Islands illuminates the rich diversity of theatre of the African diaspora and places its unique crioulo identity and creole identities in general, center stage. This article focuses on the post-independence theatre movement in Cape Verde where the re-Africanization theories of Amílcar Cabral (assassinated PAIGC leader in Cape Verde’s liberation struggle) shaped national identity and guided the pioneering work of theatre troupe Korda Kaoberdi (Wake up, Cape Verde). Under the dynamic leadership of Francisco Gomes Fragoso, a medical doctor who adopted the artistic name of Kwame Kondé, the troupe Korda Kaoberdi sought to create “a genuinely Cape Verdean and authentically African theatre.” Armed with the tenets of Cabral’s political theory, Fragoso reclaimed performance traditions that had been suppressed during Portuguese colonialism in order to train actors as combatants in cultural warfare. In doing so, Fragoso positioned the fledgling theatre artists of Korda Kaoberdi alongside the freedom fighters, asserting as Cabral did that culture is a weapon and sign of liberation. The author offers first-ever reconstructions of their historical productions based on archival research, Fragoso’s own writings, festival participant-observations, and personal interviews.

  • Results of the Iv World Congress of Terraced Landscapes
    RESULTS OF THE IV WORLD CONGRESS OF TERRACED LANDSCAPES ORGANIZED BY ITLA MAC IN CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN From 13 to 22 March 2019 the IV World Congress of Terraced Landscapes Re- enchanting Terraces has been held in La Gomera, Canary Islands (Spain). The Congress, organized by the International Terraced Landscapes Alliance (ITLA) had the objective to show the significative value of the terraced landscapes as active resources that can be used to meet new social demands for food, agriculture, leisure, education, social interaction and finally quality of life with friendly, beautiful and safe landscapes against natural risks. The Congress focuses on the specific problems of the Canary Islands, Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde to develop a global thinking on the perspectives of these territories in the future. More than 150 experts from different countries and representing all the various institutions that have organized the event in Canary Islands participated to the Congress. From 16 to 18 March, the congress participants, divided into 14 groups, moved to the eight islands of El Hierro, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, La Gomera, Lanzarote, La Palma, Tenerife and Madeira, to visit the productive and abandoned terraces, to discuss with owners and farmers, to exchange with the population and the local institutions about the perspectives of their development. As a result of these visits, specialists in various disciplines related to the environment, land management, geography or architecture have travelled to La Gomera from the different islands to participate in the final event of the IV World Congress of Terraced Landscapes. On this occasion the representative of the local government of La Gomera, valuing the great contribution of the event, has stressed that in the island are being implemented 50 projects of rehabilitation of terraces that require sustainable development and economic strategies to ensure their conservation.

  • Cape Verde : Language, Literature & Music
    Notes on the Historical Context of Claridade Ellen W. Sapega Abstract. This essay takes its starting point from the premise that a single coherent project for the publication of Claridade never existed, either in terms of the reviews contents or of its actual physical layout. After demonstrating that three very different incarnations of Claridade appeared at three distinct historical moments (1936-7; 1947-49; 1959-60), I set about examining each “series” in light of the specific date in which it appeared. Paying particular attention to the selection and treatment of texts written in Creole, I identify several clear-cut changes in the placement and framing of these texts that occurred between the first and the second series. This, in turn, indicates that the purpose and reception of Claridade changed significantly over the course of its publication, as the editors sought different solutions to the problem of how to provide a metaphoric entry of Cape Verdean culture into the “Portuguese” text. The literary review Claridade has undoubtedly received more critical attention than any other single publication in the history of Cape Verdean lit- erature. As it occupies a central, yet ambiguous, place in the literature of the archipelago, Claridade has been the object of much praise; yet, at the same time it has received its equal share of negative critical responses. The review’s founders were among the first to investigate the specificity of Cape Verdean experience, basing their studies on carefully documented customs, traditions and cultural practices of the islands, and the initial publication of Claridade in 1936 clearly marks an important historical moment in the process of imagining Cape Verdean identity as unique and autonomous from that of ^ 160 PORTUGUESE LITERARY & CULTURAL STUDIES 8 metropolitan Portugal.

  • Cape Verde and Brazil Musical Connections
    Cape Verde and Brazil Musical Connections Juliana Braz Dias Universidade de Brasília / University of Pretoria Introduction The insertion of Brazilian music in contexts outside of the country is no lon- ger a novelty. Indeed, the media often reports on these musical flows. For instance, newspapers and specialized magazines have played a crucial role in highlighting the presence of Brazil on the international stage through reports on Grammy Awards won by Brazilian musicians (namely, Sérgio Mendes, Milton Nascimento, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso e João Gilberto). Another example is the increased visibility of concerts featuring Brazilian artists in other countries, such as the Brazilian Day in New York, which attracts more than a million people to the streets of that city – above all Brazilians, but also North-Americans and migrants from other countries. However, it should be noted that the presence of Brazilian music outside of the country’s borders is not necessarily related to the global cultural indus- try, neither to the impact of recent migration processes. Musical exchanges involving Brazilian musicians have been going on for some time, in multiple ways, following diverse routes and movements of people. In this article, I focus on a particular trajectory that some forms of Brazilian music have taken. I refer to the Atlantic flows that allowed for the arrival of music and musicians from Brazil to Cape Verde, deeply influencing musical productions in the archipelago. Adopting an anthropological ap- proach, I seek to engage with discourses articulated by Cape Verdeans on the role of “Brazilian music” (as they understand it) and its relationship to the music produced in Cape Verde.

  • Cape Verde Islands, C. 1500–1879
    TRANSFORMATION OF “OLD” SLAVERY INTO ATLANTIC SLAVERY: CAPE VERDE ISLANDS, C. 1500–1879 By Lumumba Hamilcar Shabaka A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History- Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT TRANSFORMATION OF “OLD” SLAVERY INTO ATLANTIC SLAVERY: CAPE VERDE ISLANDS, C. 1500–1879 By Lumumba Hamilcar Shabaka This dissertation explores how the Atlantic slave trade integrated the Cape Verde archipelago into the cultural, economic, and political milieu of Upper Guinea Coast between 1500 and 1879. The archipelago is about 300 miles off the coast of Senegal, West Africa. The Portuguese colonized the “uninhabited” archipelago in 1460 and soon began trading with the mainland for slaves and black African slaves became the majority, resulting in the first racialized Atlantic slave society. Despite cultural changes, I argue that cultural practices by the lower classes, both slaves and freed slaves, were quintessentially “Guinean.” Regional fashion and dress developed between the archipelago and mainland with adorning and social use of panu (cotton cloth). In particular, I argue Afro-feminine aesthetics developed in the islands by freed black women that had counterparts in the mainland, rather than mere creolization. Moreover, the study explores the social instability in the islands that led to the exile of liberated slaves, slaves, and the poor, the majority of whom were of African descent as part of the Portuguese efforts to organize the Atlantic slave trade in the Upper th Guinea Coast. With the abolition of slavery in Cape Verde in the 19 century, Portugal used freed slaves and the poor as foot soldiers and a labor force to consolidate “Portuguese Guinea.” Many freed slaves resisted this mandatory service.
