  • An Overlooked Colonial English of Europe: the Case of Gibraltar
    .............................................................................................................................................................................................................WORK IN PROGESS WORK IN PROGRESS TOMASZ PACIORKOWSKI DOI: 10.15290/CR.2018.23.4.05 Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań An Overlooked Colonial English of Europe: the Case of Gibraltar Abstract. Gibraltar, popularly known as “The Rock”, has been a British overseas territory since the Treaty of Utrecht was signed in 1713. The demographics of this unique colony reflect its turbulent past, with most of the population being of Spanish, Portuguese or Italian origin (Garcia 1994). Additionally, there are prominent minorities of Indians, Maltese, Moroccans and Jews, who have also continued to influence both the culture and the languages spoken in Gibraltar (Kellermann 2001). Despite its status as the only English overseas territory in continental Europe, Gibraltar has so far remained relatively neglected by scholars of sociolinguistics, new dialect formation, and World Englishes. The paper provides a summary of the current state of sociolinguistic research in Gibraltar, focusing on such aspects as identity formation, code-switching, language awareness, language attitudes, and norms. It also delineates a plan for further research on code-switching and national identity following the 2016 Brexit referendum. Keywords: Gibraltar, code-switching, sociolinguistics, New Englishes, dialect formation, Brexit. 1. Introduction Gibraltar is located on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula and measures just about 6 square kilometres. This small size, however, belies an extraordinarily complex political history and social fabric. In the Brexit referendum of 23rd of June 2016, the inhabitants of Gibraltar overwhelmingly expressed their willingness to continue belonging to the European Union, yet at the moment it appears that they will be forced to follow the decision of the British govern- ment and leave the EU (Garcia 2016).

  • Mightier Than the Sword: Benjamin Franklin's Satirical Rebuke of British
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY Mightier than the Sword: Benjamin Franklin’s Satirical Rebuke of British Policy A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Bethany L. Fontenot-Miller LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA 2018 Table of Contents Abstract…………………………………………………………………………………………. iii Chapter 1: Introduction, Background, and Historiography……………………………………… 1 Chapter 2: The Gerrish Letter: A Rebuke of British Policy…………………………………..... 26 Chapter 3: The Jones Letter: A Censure of British Hypocrisy………………………………… 53 Chapter 4: Peace Negotiations: Beyond Publication…………………………………………… 76 Chapter 5: Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………... 94 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………………………... 100 ii Abstract The genius of Benjamin Franklin resides not in his unique personality or worldly manner but in his distinct ability to eloquently express his ideas in written form. One of his most notable and peculiar scripted expressions emanated from his desire to assert American authority in peace negotiations with Great Britain in the final stages of the American Revolution. Franklin’s “Supplement” to the Boston Independent Chronicle, printed in 1782 at his press at Passy, satirized British political and economic procedure in an effort to illuminate British hypocrisy and defend American interests in the peace process. Though the “Supplement” has only recently earned a noticeable position in the narrative of Franklin’s biographical studies, the “Supplement” provides not only a glimpse into the evolution of Franklin’s philosophical ideas and political mentality but also a reflection of his efforts to secure a beneficial compromise through the Treaty of Paris. The two letters contained within the “Supplement,” a letter by Samuel Gerrish on Indian violence against American soldiers and civilians and another by John Paul Jones on British claims of piracy against America, were fabricated by Franklin and published as authentic articles by newspapers throughout both America and Britain.

  • Parliament: Should Britain Continue the War After Yorktown?
    1 Revolutionary War Unit Parliament: Should Britain Continue the War after Yorktown? TIME AND GRADE LEVEL One 45 or 50 minute class period in a Grade 4-8. (There is also a two-day version of this lesson.) PURPOSE AND CRITICAL ENGAGEMENT QUESTIONS History is the chronicle of choices made by actors/agents/protagonists who, in very specific contexts, unearth opportunities and inevitably encounter impediments. During the Revolutionary War people of every stripe navigated turbulent waters. As individuals and groups struggled for their own survival, they also shaped the course of the nation. Whether a general or a private, male or female, free or enslaved, each became a player in a sweeping drama. The instructive sessions outlined here are tailored for upper elementary and middle school students, who encounter history most readily through the lives of individual historical players. Here, students actually become those players, confronted with tough and often heart-wrenching choices that have significant consequences. History in all its complexity comes alive. It is a convoluted, thorny business, far more so than streamlined timelines suggest, yet still accessible on a personal level to students at this level. In this simulation, elementary or middle school students become members of the British Parliament who must decide, after the defeat at Yorktown, whether to continue the war in America. The lesson opens with a question. In 1777, Britain lost some 7,000 soldiers at Saratoga; in 1781 it lost some 8,000 at Yorktown, but it still had over 40,000 troops stationed in North America and the West Indies. Why did one defeat trigger the end of the war, while others did not? The question itself, rarely asked, leads to an expanded look at the Revolutionary War, which by 1781 had evolved into a global war.

Th e delegations gathered to negotiate a comprehensive treaty that would clarify and bring certainty to the many ocean issues that had divided nations over the years. Eight years later, after long negotiating sessions that alternated between New York and Geneva, the United Nations Conven- tion on the Law of the Sea (LOS Convention) was completed, and on 10 December 1982, 119 nations signed the document in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Th e Convention came into force in July 1994 after a suffi cient number of countries had formally ratifi ed the treaty.2 One of the central disputes among the countries negotiating this treaty concerned the width of the territorial sea, coastal State control of its adjacent off shore resources, and the navigational rights of commercial * Professor of Law, William S.

  • Sefarad but Not Spain. Jews in Gibraltar 1704-1783
    Espacio, Tiempo y Forma, Serie IV. H.° Moderns, t. 6, 1993, pags. 221-230 Sefarad But Not Spain: The Settlement of Jews in Gibraltar, 1704-1783 LORRAINE MADWAY * Jews arrived in Gibraltar shortly after a combined force of English and Dutch soldiers occupied the Rock in 1704, during the War of Spanish Succession. Most of them were descendants of «gerushim» who left Spain in 1492 and went to northern Morocco. The struggle of Jews to settle and establish a community in Gibraltar parallels and, indeed, is a result of the struggle of the British to control the fortress whose strategic position they had long appreciated \ Initially, Jewish merchants and interpreters made themselves useful by providing commercial and diplomatic services to the garrison that no one else could provide. Just as the British occupation withstood the test of repeated Spanish assaults during the course of the eighteenth century, so too, did Jews manage to rebuff the periodic at­ tempts of British governments to remove them. Through service and per­ sistence, Jews finally won the right to settle in the town and establish a community. The presence of a flourishing Sephardic community within plain view of Spain's shores is surely one of the ironies of Spanish-Jewish history which makes its study a subject of continuing fascination. In the following paper I shall analyze the eighteenth-century settlement of Jews in Gibraltar from three perspectives: the larger geo-political con­ text, the internal dynamics of the Jewish community, and the interaction of Jews with other segments of the population in the fortress.

  • Riches for the Geography of America and Spain':' Felipe Bauza and His Topographical Collections, 1789-1848
    'RICHES FOR THE GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICA AND SPAIN':' FELIPE BAUZA AND HIS TOPOGRAPHICAL COLLECTIONS, 1789-1848 PETER BARBER THE British Library's Department of Manuscripts possesses a wealth of material relating to the history and culture of Spain and its colonies.^ This includes one of the largest collections of maps and official papers on colonial Latin America outside the Iberian peninsula (now Add. MSS. 17556-676). Commonly known as the 'Bauza Collection', its story before December 1848, when it was acquired by the British Museum, throws light on some of the motives for map collecting and on the hazards to which collections of political and geographical papers were exposed in the last century. Central to an understanding of the nature of the collection is the person of Felipe Bauza y Canas, one-time head of the Spanish Hydrographic Office (Direccion de Hidrografia)^ (fig. i). Born in Palma, Majorca, on 17 February 1764,"^ of relatively humble parentage, he was educated in the nautical college at Cartagena, leaving, in 1779, as a qualified pilot. In tbe following years he found bimself actively involved in the great siege of Gibraltar (1779-82), the capture of Port Mahon on Minorca from the British, and a campaign against the Moors in 1783-4. From 1785 onwards he trained as a hydrographer under Vincente Tofifio, perhaps the most distinguished Spanish cartographer of the day. Tofino was engaged in the preparation of his Atlas Maritimo Espanol^ and Bauza assisted him in the charting of Spain's Mediterranean coastline. In January 1787 Bauza was created Professor of Fortification and Drawing at the Naval College (Academia de Guardia- marinas) of Cadiz.
