  • From Freedom to Bondage: the Jamaican Maroons, 1655-1770
    From Freedom to Bondage: The Jamaican Maroons, 1655-1770 Jonathan Brooks, University of North Carolina Wilmington Andrew Clark, Faculty Mentor, UNCW Abstract: The Jamaican Maroons were not a small rebel community, instead they were a complex polity that operated as such from 1655-1770. They created a favorable trade balance with Jamaica and the British. They created a network of villages that supported the growth of their collective identity through borrowed culture from Africa and Europe and through created culture unique to Maroons. They were self-sufficient and practiced sustainable agricultural practices. The British recognized the Maroons as a threat to their possession of Jamaica and embarked on multiple campaigns against the Maroons, utilizing both external military force, in the form of Jamaican mercenaries, and internal force in the form of British and Jamaican military regiments. Through a systematic breakdown of the power structure of the Maroons, the British were able to subject them through treaty. By addressing the nature of Maroon society and growth of the Maroon state, their agency can be recognized as a dominating factor in Jamaican politics and development of the country. In 1509 the Spanish settled Jamaica and brought with them the institution of slavery. By 1655, when the British invaded the island, there were 558 slaves.1 During the battle most slaves were separated from their masters and fled to the mountains. Two major factions of Maroons established themselves on opposite ends of the island, the Windward and Leeward Maroons. These two groups formed the first independent polities from European colonial rule. The two groups formed independent from each other and with very different political structures but similar economic and social structures.

  • Sheriffdom of Lothian and Borders at Edinburgh [2017]
    SHERIFFDOM OF LOTHIAN AND BORDERS AT EDINBURGH [2017] SC EDIN 77 B692/17 JUDGMENT OF SHERIFF T WELSH QC under the Extradition Act 2003 In the cause THE LORD ADVOCATE (FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES), CROWN OFFICE, EDINBURGH, EH7 4AU Applicant Against GARNET DOUGLAS BLACK Respondent Applicant: Crosbie T; Crown Office, Edinburgh Respondent: McCluskey; Ludgate Dunn, Solicitors, Edinburgh The Issue [1] This case is about the rule of law and access to justice. The applicant seeks the extradition of the respondent to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to serve a sentence of 12 months imprisonment imposed following his conviction, in Dubai, for certain crimes of dishonesty. The respondent resists the extradition request on the basis of an alleged flaw in the preliminary extradition procedure. Separately, he argues that extradition is barred by reason of extraneous considerations, such as these are defined by s 81 of the Extradition Act 2003 (the Act). He also challenges extradition because he says he will be denied certain procedural rights, which Parliament has guaranteed by writing them into the Act, including a right to legal aid if re-tried, should he be extradited to the UAE. Finally, he asserts that, if granted, extradition will be incompatible with his human rights. The human rights in 2 question are those set out in article 3, article 5 and article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, as incorporated into United Kingdom domestic legislation by the Human Rights Act 1998. The Applicant [2] The applicant is the Lord Advocate, acting on behalf of the UAE.

The publication of these first three books attests to the fact that the 2003 Convention has now reached the crucial operational phase. The successful implementation of this ground-breaking legal instrument remains one of UNESCO’s priority actions, and one to which I am firmly committed. In 2008, before my election as Director-General of UNESCO, I had the privilege of chairing one of the sessions of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, in Sofia, Bulgaria. This enriching experience reinforced my personal convictions regarding the significance of intangible cultural heritage, its fragility, and the urgent need to safeguard it for future generations. Rep List 2009 2.15:Layout 1 26/5/10 09:25 Page 3 It is most encouraging to note that since the adoption of the Convention in 2003, the term ‘intangible cultural heritage’ has become more familiar thanks largely to the efforts of UNESCO and its partners worldwide.

  • Heritage Regimes and the State Universitätsverlag Göttingen Cultural Property, Volume 6 Ed
    hat happens when UNESCO heritage conventions are ratifi ed by a state? 6 WHow do UNESCO’s global efforts interact with preexisting local, regional and state efforts to conserve or promote culture? What new institutions emerge to address the mandate? The contributors to this volume focus on the work of translation and interpretation that ensues once heritage conventions are ratifi ed and implemented. With seventeen case studies from Europe, Africa, the Carib- bean and China, the volume provides comparative evidence for the divergent heritage regimes generated in states that differ in history and political orga- nization. The cases illustrate how UNESCO’s aspiration to honor and celebrate cultural diversity diversifi es itself. The very effort to adopt a global heritage regime forces myriad adaptations to particular state and interstate modalities of Heritage Regimes building and managing heritage. and the State ed. by Regina F.

  • The Jamaican Marronage, a Social Pseudomorph: the Case of the Accompong Maroons
    THE JAMAICAN MARRONAGE, A SOCIAL PSEUDOMORPH: THE CASE OF THE ACCOMPONG MAROONS by ALICE ELIZABETH BALDWIN-JONES Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2011 8 2011 Alice Elizabeth Baldwin-Jones All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT THE JAMAICAN MARRONAGE, A SOCIAL PSEUDOMORPH: THE CASE OF THE ACCOMPONG MAROONS ALICE ELIZABETH BALDWIN-JONES Based on ethnography, oral history and archival research, this study examines the culture of the Accompong Maroons by focusing on the political, economic, social, religious and kinship institutions, foodways, and land history. This research demonstrates that like the South American Maroons, the Accompong Maroons differ in their ideology and symbolisms from the larger New World population. However, the Accompong Maroons have assimilated, accommodated and integrated into the state in every other aspect. As a consequence, the Accompong Maroons can only be considered maroons in name only. Today’s Accompong Maroons resemble any other rural peasant community in Jamaica. Grounded in historical analysis, the study also demonstrate that social stratification in Accompong Town results from unequal access to land and other resources, lack of economic infrastructure, and constraints on food marketeers and migration. This finding does not support the concept of communalism presented in previous studies. Table of Contents Page Part 1: Prologue I.
