Caribbean Ties Exhibition Magazine Caribbean Connected people, Ties then and now Exhibition Magazine CARIBBEAN TIES By Corinne Hofman, Jorge Ulloa Hung & Tibisay Sankatsing Nava Introduction The colonization of the Americas is one of the most transformative but neglected episodes in world history. The Caribbean was the port of entry to a universe of wealth that allowed for the construction of the largest colonial empire of the 16th century.

Cayo village, Argyle, Saint Vincent. Photo: Menno Hoogland. Caribbean Ties The Caribbean is home to over 40 million people. Every island and the neighboring mainland has their own languages, traditions, and landscapes. Between 8000 and 6000 years ago, the first indigenous peoples, also known as Amerindians, moved from South and Central America into the islands. Thereafter, the archipelago was populated by communities related to each other through family and social networks of travel, migration and exchange. When Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492, a brutal history of colonization began. The indigenous societies were dramatically uprooted, their peoples were enslaved and exposed to war, disease and involuntary mass relocation. The exploitation of the Caribbean helped transform Europe into the world’s economic and political center of power. New relationships were created from the mix of Amerindians, Europeans, enslaved Africans, Jewish people and later indentured laborers from Asia. This is the origin of today’s multicultural Caribbean. Scientific research reinforces the importance of the Caribbean for world history. Archaeology and the study of contemporary cultural practices highlight the indigenous voices. This heritage remains vibrantly present in Caribbean life today. Caribbean Ties invites you to explore the role that the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean played in global history and continue to play today. 4 5 CARIBBEAN TIES Multicultural landscapes The indigenous Caribbean was inhabited by peoples who spoke Arawakan and Cariban languages, with loan words from Warao, Tol, and Chibchan and Tupian languages. The European colonizers and later scientists used names such as Arawak/Taíno and Carib to erroneously label the peoples of the islands as peaceful versus warlike. But we know now that these labels, still present in schoolbooks, are incorrect and misleading. During colonization, indigenous peoples Indigenous societies were gradually from Central America and the mainland destroyed and their social networks Caribbean were translocated and disrupted. However, survivors resisted and enslaved. Together with the displaced managed to integrate into the colonial population of the islands and enslaved system.

Robison Rd. Texarkana, TX 75505-5518 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the early sixteenth century, the area that today comprises eastern Venezuela and its offshore islands enriched Spain with pearls, supplied Spanish colonists with Indian slaves, and generated high hopes of finding interior civilisations rich in gold. However, the prosperity of Spanish colonies in this region (called the Pearl Coast) proved tragically short-lived, lasting less than two decades. Using Garrett Hardin’s concept of the ‘tragedy of the commons’, this article examines Spanish overexploitation of both the oyster beds around the island of Cubagua and the native peoples along the mainland by competing groups of Spaniards. Building upon the works of historians such as Pablo Ojer and Enrique Otte, and utilising archival research and Otte’s seldom-used compilations of primary documents, this article analyses the dramatic but little-known history of the Pearl Coast, where damage to the environment went hand in hand with the enslavement and decimation of native populations.

La población fue muestreada mensualmente mediante buceo autónomo utilizando transectas (10 m2) para estimar abundancia y aspectos biológicos. Además, se recolectó información entre pescadores y comerciantes para estimar las capturas. La proporción mensual de machos: hembras fue 1:1, durante todo el estudio. A. seminuda mostró actividad gametogé- nica todo el año, con 2 picos principales de desove (abril y agosto-septiembre). La longitud media de madurez sexual de machos (9.7 cm) fue menor que para las hembras (13.4 cm), siendo para ambos sexos de 10,3 cm. Entre 0.5 y 5 m de profundidad fueron obtenidos los máximos promedios de densidad (0.39 ind/m2) y biomasa (39.2 gr/m2). Las mayores biomasas y densidades fueron encontradas al sureste de la Isla de Coche y al oeste del Morro de Chacopata. La actividad de pesca la realizan alrededor de 60 pescadores mediante buceo tipo apnea.

RESUMEN Para realizar un inventario de crustáceos decápodos del Suborden Dendrobranchiata e infraordenes Stenopodidea y Caridea de playa El Amparo, isla de Coche, Venezuela, fueron realizados 12 muestreos entre abril de 2017 y octubre de 2018, sin periodicidad establecida. La recolecta de los ejemplares fue realizada tanto en horas diurnas, como nocturnas, desde la zona intermareal hasta 3 m de profundidad aproximadamente, empleando distintos métodos de captura, como chinchorros playeros, bomba yabby, extracción manual de rocas, trozos de coral, algas, conchas vacías y agregaciones de moluscos, anémonas y esponjas. Fue analizado un total de 134 camarones pertenecientes al suborden Dendrobranchiata, y los infraordenes Stenopodidea y Caridea, correspondientes a 9 familias, 15 géneros y 30 especies, de las cuales, 13 especies representan nuevos registros para la isla de Coche, seis nuevos registros para el estado Nueva Esparta, cuatro son nuevas adiciones a la carcinofauna venezolana y una posible especie aun no descrita para la ciencia, ampliando así, el número de especies reportadas para esta región insular y el país.

  • Insular Caribbean
    & Antczak Hofman Early Settlers of the Early Settlers of the INSULAR CARIBBEAN Early Settlers of the Insular Caribbean: Dearchaizing the Archaic offers a INSULAR comprehensive coverage of the most recent advances in interdiscipli- nary research on the early human settling of the Caribbean islands. It covers the time span of the so-called Archaic Age and focuses on the CARIBBEAN Middle to Late Holocene period which – depending on specific case studies discussed in this volume – could range between 6000 BC and AD INSULAR CARIBBEAN Dearchaizing the Archaic 1000. A similar approach to the early settlers of the Caribbean islands E has never been published in one volume, impeding the realization of a arly holistic view on indigenous peoples’ settling, subsistence, movements, and interactions in this vast and naturally diversified macroregion. S Delivered by a panel of international experts, this book provides re- ettlers the of cent and new data in the fields of archaeology, collection studies, palaeo botany, geomorphology, paleoclimate and bioarchaeology that challenge currently existing perspectives on early human settlement patterns, subsistence strategies, migration routes and mobility and exchange. This publication compiles new approaches to ‘old’ data and museum collections, presents the results of starch grain analysis, paleo- coring, seascape modelling, and network analysis. Moreover, it features newer published data from the islands such as Margarita and Aruba. All the above-mentioned data compiled in one volume fills the gap in scholarly literature, transforms some of the interpretations in vogue and enables the integration of the first settlers of the insular Caribbean into the larger Pan-American perspective. This book not only provides scholars and students with compelling new and interdisciplinary perspectives on the Early Settlers of the Insular edited by Caribbean.
