  • THE WEST INDIAN HIP-ROOFED COTTAGE"' Enwrn Doran, }R
    THE WEST INDIAN HIP-ROOFED COTTAGE"' EnwrN DoRAN, }R. Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas Among the several types of houses found in the West Indies is a distinctive cottage (Figure 1). The ubiquitous presence of this cottage on all islands except Cuba and Puerto Rico, despite differences in nation­ ality, arouses curiousity about its origin, especially in view of recent state­ ments tending to indicate relatively little contact between West Indian islands.1 The evidence suggests that the house probably originated within a hundred miles of the English Channel, that it was first introduced into the islands between 1625 and 1700, and that is has been re-diffused among the islands in complex patterns since. Fig. 1 *This is a preliminary study of a previously nearly untouched aspect of West Indian cultural geography. As such, and because of a major methodological weakness, this paper must be prefaced by an explicit reservation. In no case was the period of field work long enough to permit inspection of house interiors in more than a statistically negligible number of examples, hence the plans of houses and arrange­ ments of rooms are little known. Second, in order to obtain any feeling for the West Indian distribution of house types, a subject on which there is almost no literature, it was necessary to rely very largely on photographs, many of them taken from a considerable distance and showing only the general shape of the house. As a result it might be argued that the phenomenon under consideration is not adequate to con­ stitute a house type as such, but is simply one major facet of type recognition: the roof.

  • ICRP Calendar
    The notions of International Relations (IR) in capital letters and international relations (ir) in lowercase letters have two different meanings. The first refers to a scholarly discipline while the second one means a set of contemporary events with historical importance, which influences global-politics. In order to make observations, formulate theories and describe patterns within the framework of ‘IR’, one needs to fully comprehend specific events related to ‘ir’. It is why the Institute for Cultural Relations Policy (ICRP) believes that a timeline on which all the significant events of international relations are identified might be beneficial for students, scholars or professors who deal with International Relations. In the following document all the momentous wars, treaties, pacts and other happenings are enlisted with a monthly division, which had considerable impact on world-politics. January 1800 | Nationalisation of the Dutch East Indies The Dutch East Indies was a Dutch colony that became modern Indonesia following World War II. It was formed 01 from the nationalised colonies of the Dutch East India Company, which came under the administration of the Dutch government in 1800. 1801 | Establishment of the United Kingdom On 1 January 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland united to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Most of Ireland left the union as the Irish Free State in 1922, leading to the remaining state being renamed as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927. 1804 | Haiti independence declared The independence of Haiti was recognized by France on 17 April 1825.

    LAND USE AND POPULATION IN ST. VINCENT, 1763-1960 A CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF THE PATTERNS OF ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE IN A SMALL WEST INDIAN ISLAND By Joseph Spinelli A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1973 ^ @ 1974 JOSEPH SPINELLI ALL RIGHTS RESERVED To the Memory of My Father and My Mother ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the course of this study, I have incurred innumerable debts to persons and Institutions who have assisted me in one way or another. I can never repay Professor David L. Niddrie for his faithful guidance, sharing of experiences, sage advice, constructive criticisms, and patience throughout the preparation of this work. It was, Indeed, Professor Niddrie who first sug- gested to me a study in the former British Caribbean, particular- ly in St. Vincent. His knowledge of the Vest Indies opened many doors for me and smoothed the path for my initial reconnaissance of the area and, later, for a more extensive stay in the island. For this impetus and understanding, I remain forever in his debt. I wish, in addition, to acknowledge the valuable help and encouragement I received from the past and present members of the Department of Geography at the University of Florida. It is impossible to thank personally the many people in St. Vincent and elsewhere in the West Indies who aided me during my three visits to the area. Several individuals and institu- tions, however, deserve mention for their welcomed contributions to my work.

  • The University of Hull an Anatomy of a Slave Society in Transition
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL AN ANATOMY OF A SLAVE SOCIETY IN TRANSITION: THE VIRGIN ISLANDS, 1807-1864. Being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History In the University of Hull By Angel Smith October 2011 Abstract This study analyses the process of transition from slavery to freedom in the Virgin Islands’ slave society. It draws on a database of over 9,500 enslaved people of African descent, covering the period 1818 to 1834. Including information on gender, age, births, deaths, runaways, manumissions, and owners of the enslaved, this database allows the most intimate and comprehensive analysis of changes in the social life of the slave population and immediate descendants within any single British Caribbean territory in the age of abolitionism and its aftermath. Few studies in Caribbean history have sought to go beyond the transition from slavery to freedom and more specifically, to explore the impact of the enslaved themselves in shaping their own history during this critical transition. This thesis seeks to do both by re-examining the history of the Virgin Islands from 1807 to 1864, underpinning the argument it presents with data drawn from slave registers, Colonial Office and Parliamentary papers, and other records. It is on these grounds that this thesis makes an original contribution to existing knowledge. ii Table of Content List of Figures iv List of Tables iv Acknowledgements vii Introduction 1 Chapter 1 Slave Society 18 Population Distribution 19 Lands Use 22 Slave Holders 24 The Slave Population 32 The

  • Social Class and Partisanship in Dominica
    RESOURCES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND STYLES: SOCIAL CLASS AND PARTISANSHIP IN DOMINICA Patrick L. Baker RESOURCES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND STYLES: SOCIAL CLASS AND PARTISANSHIP IN DOMINICA by Patrick L. Baker Department of Sociology and Anthropology Mount Allison University,New Brunswick Paper presented at the Caribbean Studies Association Conference St. Kitts 30 May - 2 June 1984 "From the point of view of the sociologist, the societies of the Caribbean are among the most interesting and important in the world. This point alone behoves us to reject simplistic "models" and assumptions and begin immediately to build up an adequate theoretical frame- work" (Cross 1968: 397). This paper examines fieldwork material (1972-1973) and its historical context in terms of "adequate theoretical frameworks." Caribbean societies experience interrelated internal and external dialectical relations. The external component in sociology has traditionally been presented as history and used to explain 'anomalies' in the structural analysis of the internal component. Wilson attempts to break this tradition in his study of Providencia with his model of two dialectically related value systems: an imposed 1 "respectability" and an indigenous 'reputation'. But his analysis remains essentially 'internal'. The 'dependista' or neo-Marxian perspective, however, emphasises external relations as integral to an adequate analysis of the internal structure. But this emphasis ignores the impact of the spread of rational-legal domination. This paper explores the appropriateness of these ideas for an analysis of emerging political parties in Dominica up to 1973. 2 The Past in Dominica's Present From its prehistory to the present, Dominica has expetienced actual or attempted external dominiation and been modified accordingly.

  • FLAG of BARBADOS - a BRIEF HISTORY Where in the World
    Part of the “History of National Flags” Series from Flagmakers FLAG OF BARBADOS - A BRIEF HISTORY Where In The World Trivia The trident on the flag is said to represent the broken trident of Britannia. Representing the end of British colonialism. Technical Specification Adopted: 30TH November 1966 Proportion: 2:3 Design: A ultramarine and gold vertical tricolour with a black trident Colours: PMS – Blue: 280 C, Yellow: 123 C CMYK – Blue: 70% Magenta, 20% Black; Yellow: 30% Magenta, 90% Yellow. Brief History In 1833 the British colony of Barbados joined the British Windward Islands, the Union Jack as the flag. In 1870 The Flag of the Colony of Barbados was a blue ensign with the emblem of Barbados in the centre right side of the flag. The emblem of Barbados featured Britannia in the sea. In 1885 Barbados left the British Windward Islands colony. The Flag of the British Windward Islands The Flag of the Colony of Barbados (1833 to 1886) (1870 to 1966) Between 1958 and 1962 Barbados was part of the West Indies Federation. The Flag of the West Indies Federation was a blue field featuring four undulating white lines with a golden circle on top. This design was to represent the sun shining on the Caribbean Sea. Barbados became independent in 1966 and a new flag was adopted. Grantley W. Prescot’s design was chosen from a competition that saw over a thousand entries. It is an ultramarine and gold vertical tri-colour with a black broken trident in the centre. The broken trident is a reference to the old emblem of Barbados that shows Britannia holding a trident, saying that Barbados has broken from British colonialism.
