As summer approaches, planning is underway for the 16th Gathering of Cornish Cousins. Please note the new dates. In order for the facilities of the Mineral Point School to be available, the date change was necessary. The modern building affords a centralized, handicapped accessible venue for day time activities ranging from classrooms for small group sessions including a computer lab, to a cafetorium which can be set up for keynote addresses and allows ample space for registration, society information displays, message boards, photo contest, all accessible via spacious corridors, and extensive parking. It is customary to hold the annual meeting of the CAHS Board of Directors between Gatherings at the proposed venue of the next one. This meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 10 AM. The delegates of all affiliated Cornish associations are invited and encouraged to attend. Those planning to at- tend, please notify Dick Baker and me. The agenda and additional details will be sent to them. We realize there are many circumstances which may prevent attendance, particularly this year. The input of as many as can possibly be with us is valued. Three submissions to the Steven R. Curnow competition were received. Three judges have evaluated these independently, and now it remains to arrive at a consensus and determine what awards will be made. Watch the www.cousinjack.org website for the results! Also in this issue you‘ll find the instructions for using the Members‘ Only area of the cousinjack website. A distinct advantage of this new benefit, I believe, is that our joining members may access archived issues of Tam Kernewek and become familiar with the activities of CAHS and the affiliated societies. Those members who aren‘t inclined to save and ‗catalog‘ issues of TK will have access to previously pub- lished Members‘ Interest columns, member addresses and address changes, website queries, and more.

  • Cornishness and Englishness: Nested Identities Or Incompatible Ideologies?
    CORNISHNESS AND ENGLISHNESS: NESTED IDENTITIES OR INCOMPATIBLE IDEOLOGIES? Bernard Deacon (International Journal of Regional and Local History 5.2 (2009), pp.9-29) In 2007 I suggested in the pages of this journal that the history of English regional identities may prove to be ‘in practice elusive and insubstantial’.1 Not long after those words were written a history of the north east of England was published by its Centre for Regional History. Pursuing the question of whether the north east was a coherent and self-conscious region over the longue durée, the editors found a ‘very fragile history of an incoherent and barely self-conscious region’ with a sense of regional identity that only really appeared in the second half of the twentieth century.2 If the north east, widely regarded as the most coherent English region, lacks a historical identity then it is likely to be even more illusory in other regions. Although rigorously testing the past existence of a regional discourse and finding it wanting, Green and Pollard’s book also reminds us that history is not just about scientific accounts of the past. They recognise that history itself is ‘an important element in the construction of the region … Memory of the past is deployed, selectively and creatively, as one means of imagining it … We choose the history we want, to show the kind of region we want to be’.3 In the north east that choice has seemingly crystallised around a narrative of industrialization focused on the coalfield and the gradual imposition of a Tyneside hegemony over the centuries following 1650.

  • Summary of Sensory Team Manager Duties
    Link to thesis website Chapter 6 Competing speech communities Chapter 6 Competing speech communities The final chapter of this section focuses on the evolution of folk tradition, and the new spaces created for performance, within the Celto-Cornish movement through the latter half of the twentieth century to the current era of festival culture and Pan- Celticism. It makes the case that the Celto-Cornish movement and the folk revival that arrived in Cornwall in the sixties represent different speech communities, which competed for ownership of oral folk tradition and the authenticity it represented. It must be also be recognised that there is a third speech community with a stake in the celebration of tradition, the local community within which it takes place. One outcome of these competing speech communities is the way in which the same folk phenomena will be used to express quite different identities. The Padstow May Day festivities for example are a celebration that firstly represents a sense of the towns community1 and secondly a Celto-Cornish tradition2 but at the same time is used as an icon by the English Folk Dance And Song Society.3 Underlying this discussion, however, must be the recognition that identity is chaotically unique for each individual and each group of individuals, all of which are at the centre of a “complex web of being”.4 In order to pursue this argument it is first necessary to revisit and examine more closely what is meant by a speech community and how this might affect performance and meaning within oral folk tradition.

  • Professor Stephen Pitti, Yale University Over the Last Century
    Professor Stephen Pitti, Yale University Over the last century, scholars have written dozens of important studies that excavate the deep and diverse histories of Latinos in the United States, and that show the central role that Latinos have played in American history for hundreds of years. Community historians, historical preservationists, museum professionals, and non-academic researchers have been equally important to chronicling and preserving those histories. In 2013, when the National Park Service published the American Latinos and the Making of the United States theme study, it recognized that Latino history is a critical and powerful area of scholarship, one that is vital for twenty-first century historical preservation and interpretation. The following bibliography offers only a fraction of the important books that might guide new discussions of the centrality of Latino history to the history of the United States: Acosta-Belén, Edna, and Carlos Enrique Santiago.

In keeping with Penzance’s wonderful location our theme this year is “Golowan – All at Sea” - a tongue in cheek invitation to celebrate our amazing maritime heritage, and reflect it in a blaze of nautical imagery. However, “All at Sea!” couldn’t be wider of the mark, as the focus of everyone has been to ensure that, while cherishing established traditions, new things are tried, new partnerships secured and Golowan goes from strength to strength. All the elements for a great weekend are here - the mid-summer torchlit procession, serpent dancing and fireworks, the manic Mock Mayor of the Quay ceremony, music and market stalls, parades… and so much more… Golowan’s Quay Fair offers all the fun of the fair on Battery Road from 21st – 25th June and – last, but not least – Golowan 2017 sees the return of the marquee in St Anthony’s Car Park where Big Tow Productions will host a range of events – including the Mock Mayor election.

  • 1729 to 1969 Has Offered Numerous Opportunities Fornew Worldmen
    286 BOOK REVIEWS JULY 1729 to 1969 has offered numerous opportunities for—new world men to honestly — on that hard-won lesson of the past infuse into their lives the values of freedom that the appearance of such books as this may be the last hope in this millennium. With the editor of the Pennsylvania Freeman, who somehow got the account from the Picayune some two months after it appeared, the lessons were in- escapable. Rebuking the North for its prejudice, that editor called on all "who fear danger in the nation from the presence init of a colored population to read it and ponder" (the Picayune account of the New Orleans celebration). He went on to suggest that his readers could quickly realize how colored freemen acted when fully protected by law and inpossession of their rights as Americans. He reminded the North that free Negroes were also devoted to the safety and welfare of their country in spite of the injustices they had received. Instead of this being publicized as in New Orleans, he charged, it was concealed in the false and malicious statements against the injured race. This was on March 10, 1851 ! But one thing needs to be added: that this book projects some of the concealments for our further examination. That its service becomes thus multifaceted is patent. For those who must go farther, a reading of Mr.McConneirs sources is mandatory. Our days of agonizing reappraisal are upon us. History con- cealed, attitudes sedulously cultivated at cross purposes with the na- tional purposes, social chasms artificially nurtured, all belong in the pantheon of a dead past whose examination should be for lesson- learning only.
