PRESERVATION and the FUTURE of the BAHAMIAN PAST: a CASE STUDY of SAN SALVADOR ISLAND's HISTORIC RESOURCES by CHRISTOPHER C. J PRESERVATION AND THE FUTURE OF THE BAHAMIAN PAST: A CASE STUDY OF SAN SALVADOR ISLAND’S HISTORIC RESOURCES by CHRISTOPHER C. JACKSON (Under the Direction of Cari Goetcheus) ABSTRACT While the material remains of past human activity and the evolution of traditional cultural activities have been the focus of much scholarship regarding the history of The Bahamas, very little has been said regarding preservation, promotion and interpretation of such resources. Experiencing spaces, places and activities associated with specific strands of history offer the Bahamian observer unique opportunities to gain insights into their own culture and character. This thesis explores the wealth of cultural heritage resources on San Salvador Island in order to analyze how such resources could be managed to affectively reveal the breadth of The Bahamas’ unique history and culture.

  • Malpaso Dance Company Is Filled with Information and Ideas That Support the Performance and the Study Unit You Will Create with Your Teaching Artist
    The Joyce Dance Education Program Resource and Reference Guide Photo by Laura Diffenderfer The Joyce’s School & Family Programs are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; and made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Special support has been provided by Con Edison, The Walt Disney Company, A.L. and Jennie L. Luria Foundation, and May and Samuel Rudin Family Foundation, Inc. December 10, 2018 Dear Teachers, The resource and reference material in this guide for Malpaso Dance Company is filled with information and ideas that support the performance and the study unit you will create with your teaching artist. For this performance, Malpaso will present Ohad Naharin’s Tabla Rasa in its entirety. Tabula Rasa made its world premiere on the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre on February 6, 1986. Thirty-two years after that first performance, on May 4, 2018, this seminal work premiered on Malpaso Dance Company in Cuba. Check out the link here for the mini-documentary on Ohad Naharin’s travels to Havana to work with Malpaso. This link can also be found in the Resources section of this study guide. A new work by company member Beatriz Garcia Diaz will also be on the program, set to music by the Italian composer Ezio Bosso. The title of this work is the Spanish word Ser, which translates to “being” in English. I love this quote by Kathleen Smith from NOW Magazine Toronto: "As the theatre begins to vibrate with accumulated energy, you get the feeling that they could dance just about any genre with jaw-dropping style.

  • Cruise Planners
    Jessica Neeson [email protected] www.cruiseextravaganza.com 813-563-0718 NASSAU, NEW PROVIDENCE ISLAND, BAHAMAS OVERVIEW Introduction Located on the island of New Providence, Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. You'll find the islands' best sightseeing and historic buildings there. Also expect to find a crowd: Nassau is a very busy place, thanks to the high volume of cruise-ship passengers. In addition to the attractions in Nassau proper, there are a number of tourist sites on Paradise Island, a small but developed island off Nassau that has been transformed into a high-rise gambling and leisure haven. It's connected to the capital by two arched, one-way bridges. To have a good time in Nassau, approach the port with an open mind. Even though it's an international city and commercial center—and firmly a part of the present—it still maintains its old-world island flavor. Things may take a little longer than you're used to. Slow your pace as you explore Nassau's rich history, tranquil beaches and turquoise waters—one of the best commodities of the Bahamas. Sights—The Georgian government buildings and Garden of Remembrance in Parliament Square; the Nassau Public Library and Museum, a jail- turned-library; Fort Fincastle and Fort Charlotte; Bay Street Straw Market; the calm setting of the Versailles Gardens and 12th-century Augustinian cloister on Paradise Island. Museums—Bahamian art at The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas; history exhibits at Pirates of Nassau; the history of Junkanoo at Educulture Bahamas; the Pompey Museum of Slavery and Emancipation.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

  • Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
    SHORT COMMUNICATION A Range Extension of the Social Wasp Polistes bahamensis (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) Christopher K. Starr Jo-Anne N. Sewlal The University of the West Indies1 Three species of social wasps are found in the whether the wasps came from just one or Bahamas (Elliott, 1985; Elliott & Elliott, 1996; several colonies. Richards, 1978), all with similar ranges. Polistes bahamensis, P. major and Mischocyttarus mexicanus are known from all sizeable islands except Mayaguana and Great Inagua, as well as in at least the southern part of Florida. The latter two are likewise found in Cuba. P. bahamensis (Figure 1)—formerly treated as subspecies of P. exclamans (Snelling, 1983)—is tentatively recorded from Mayaguana on the basis of apparently reliable museum specimens (Elliott & Elliott, 1996), although these authors failed to find it in either Mayaguana or Great Inagua (Figure 2). Our purpose here is to record and comment on its presence on Great Inagua. On 1 January 2011 we found P. bahamensis foragers flying along the sides of a road in the interior of Inagua. The road was on a causeway into Lake Windsor near the western boundary of Inagua National Park (approx. 20°59'N Figure 1. An early colony of Polistes bahamensis, 73°30'W), far from houses or other buildings. showing the single nest comb with excentric petiole and the color pattern of the wasp.

  • Browsing Through Bias: the Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies
    Browsing through Bias: The Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies Sara A. Howard and Steven A. Knowlton Abstract The knowledge organization system prepared by the Library of Con- gress (LC) and widely used in academic libraries has some disadvan- tages for researchers in the fields of African American studies and LGBTQIA studies. The interdisciplinary nature of those fields means that browsing in stacks or shelflists organized by LC Classification requires looking in numerous locations. As well, persistent bias in the language used for subject headings, as well as the hierarchy of clas- sification for books in these fields, continues to “other” the peoples and topics that populate these titles. This paper offers tools to help researchers have a holistic view of applicable titles across library shelves and hopes to become part of a larger conversation regarding social responsibility and diversity in the library community.1 Introduction The neat division of knowledge into tidy silos of scholarly disciplines, each with its own section of a knowledge organization system (KOS), has long characterized the efforts of libraries to arrange their collections of books. The KOS most commonly used in American academic libraries is the Li- brary of Congress Classification (LCC). LCC, developed between 1899 and 1903 by James C. M. Hanson and Charles Martel, is based on the work of Charles Ammi Cutter. Cutter devised his “Expansive Classification” to em- body the universe of human knowledge within twenty-seven classes, while Hanson and Martel eventually settled on twenty (Chan 1999, 6–12). Those classes tend to mirror the names of academic departments then prevail- ing in colleges and universities (e.g., Philosophy, History, Medicine, and Agriculture).

  • When Christopher Columbus Came Ashore in 1492, He Wrote in His Diary
    When Christopher Columbus came ashore in 1492, he wrote in his diary, “This is the most beautiful land that human eyes have seen.” He would leave members of his family behind to colonize the island and would return to it after venturing throughout the Caribbean. In his will, he asked to be buried in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. It was to this island a group of 22, mostly graduate nursing students and faculty from University of San Diego (www.sandiego.edu) , along with one dentist, would travel as a mission endeavor, to improve the health of school children of a rural school. Excitement ran high as the emails & gmails flashed back and forth, final arranges were gelling into a final plan. Were we actually going to the Caribbean? Over six months in the planning, and after 8 prior visits to La Republica Dominicana (Dominican Republic in English, indigenous Taino Indians called it Quisqueya), the trip was finally coming to fruition. It was decided that now was the time to include dental care in the overall plan to help the needy families far into the mountainous area near the international border with Haiti. Destination, El Cercado, to work at the school, Fe y Alegria (“Faith and Gladness”); the goal, examine students and their families in health screening as well as undertake a couple of research projects, one having to do with new techniques for diagnosing diabetes compared to traditional methods. But after having seen the severe need in oral disease, this was the year to begin inclusion of emergency dental care.

Hon. Hubert Marsh Harbour Loses Old House Ingraham, was in Marsh Harbour recently to brief residents on the five referendum ques- tions voted on, February 27, 2002. Chairing the meeting was Mr. Mike Smith, Member of Parliament for the South Beach Constitu- ency. Also bringing remarks was Mr. Rob- ert Sweeting, Member of Parliament for South Abaco. In his remarks Mr. Sweeting stated that he was happy to see the large crowd as this shows the interest of the people in what is going on in the country. Along with the Prime Minister, other speakers included Deputy Leader Designate of the Free Na- tional Movement, Mr. Dion Foulkes, and Member of Parliament Mrs. Janet Bostwick. The meeting was very well attended as people from all walks of life, political per- suasions and settlements throughout Abaco came. In attendance were officials of the BDM (Bahamas Democratic Movement) in- cluding Mr. Omar Smith and Mr. Cassius Stuart. These two became famous only a few weeks ago when they disrupted proceedings in the House of Assembly by attempting to remove the mace from the speaker’s throne.
