Extractions: Christopher Columbus himself drafted a widely read letter which he penned during his return in 1493, from his 1st voyage. A Swiss edition, from which the fanciful illustration of the Admiral's Arrival is shown [NG2], attests not only to the socio-artistic prejudices of the period, but also to the latitude of interest it generated, in the north of Europe, north from the shores of Spain. The initial misconception of Columbus that he had discovered a route to The Indies of Asia was due mainly to errors in cartography prevalent to the times; he was otherwise an excellent mariner, other short-comings aside. The Greek an Arab texts on which he is reputed to have based his calculations for the circumference of the earth, were 25 percent deficient to reality; and no-one realised that the seas that we today call the Atlantic and Pacific, were not the same; and that there was a land-mass in between [NG1].

Extractions: 100 Years of Caribbean Participation By TERENCE HILTON-CLARKE FOR the Caribbean nations participating in the Games of the 27th Olympiad in Sydney, it was the celebration of a century. For one hundred years, the Olympics have brought glory to a select group of countries, and which have seen the rise of many great athletes who have earned the right to be grouped with the best there ever was and, in the process, have gained recognition for their native lands. Cuba then withdrew from the Olympic Games until the 1924 event in Paris. That was where Haiti made its mark, literally, in the shooting competition. The team of Ludovic Augustin, Astrel Rolland, Ludovic Valborge, Destin Destine and Eloi Metullus scored a total of 646 points in the free rifle competition, to finish in a tie with France behind the United States (676 points). The French eventually won a play-off, leaving Haiti to settle for bronze. Four years later, Silvio Cator, who also served as captain of the Haitian national soccer team, took the long jump silver medal in track and field with a leap of 7.58 meters. This was to be the last Caribbean medal-earning performance for the next 20 years.

Footprints Resort Mia Persad-Douglas grew up at an oil refinery, in a gated community, called Oilfields Camps on the Caribbean island of Trinidad ( Learn More ). They lived very well in one of the many three-bedroom bungalows with access to a swimming pool and tennis courts. But Mia's father Krishna, a production geologist, dreamed of doing something more meaningful with his life. When Mia was in college, a family holiday to the neighboring island of Tobago in 1992 changed everyone's life forever. While visiting Man-O-War Bay in Charlotteville, Krishna bought a piece of land. By chance he found Culloden Estate, a 200 acre abandoned sugar plantation and persuaded the owner to sell him a 60 acres of the lush tropical property. Krishna wanted to do something special and different with the family's new home. In 1997, he opened an environmentally-friendly resort and called it Footprints. It is built with recycled and recyclable materials according to the principle of sustainable design, which seeks to maintain biological diversity and environmental integrity of the land. The pool is salt water. Solar power is used whenever possible.

Extractions: Introduction Whoever feared earthquakes, would erect a house of wood. Whoever feared hurricanes or remembered the fire, erected a house of stone. Patrick Chamoiseau, Texaco These were understandable attitudes given the repressive social atmosphere of the British Caribbean in the late 1800s, where black working classes only two generations removed from slavery were ruled by a tiny minority of white planters and a cadre of local white officials representing the London Colonial Office. The planters' and officials' attitudes about the cane fires and much else usually could be found in the island's weekly newspaper, the Antigua Standard Cane fires were only one among several burning issues that distressed local island officials in the British Caribbean at the turn of the twentieth century. The depression also helped to trigger arson in towns and cities. Rural dwellers routinely set "bush fires" in the countrysides that posed dangers to forests and adjacent settlements, especially during droughts and dry seasons. The ominous torchlight rituals of the The Study Region and Time Period Similar urban-rural distinctions and experiences marked the smaller islands, too. The visit of Tony Lowandes's circus to St. John's, Antigua, in early 1903 featured a lion and an elephant, and the few rural Antiguans who could afford to come into town to see them would have had to do so by horse or donkey cart or on foot.[16] Far more imposing transportation limitations marked the outlying zones of the volcanic Windwards, where village communities on the windward or Atlantic sides of the islands were separated from the capital towns on the leeward sides by soaring volcanic peaks and knife-edge ridgelines, so that travel to the other side of one's home island was usually via sailing vessel. It was not unknown, despite these islands' tiny sizes, for old people of the windward villages never to have visited the local capital towns of Roseau, Castries, St. George's, or Kingstown during their entire lives.

http://www.cca7.org/textframes/cca.html

Extractions: cca Caribbean Contemporary Arts (CCA) was established to provide a space and structure in response to the social, political and cultural concerns of the many peoples who comprise the Caribbean Basin. The complex task of providing a medium for expression to a population that traces its influences to a number of continents, cultures, traditions and histories is important, both regionally and internationally. We believe that it is necessary for these new expressions of acculturation to first find recognition from the 'inside'. CCA is an international arts organisation that works with contemporary visual artists, curators, writers, historians and art educators from the Caribbean and the Caribbean Diaspora to exhibit, publish and document our region's art practice, influences and ideas. CCA maintains an active interest in work, which investigates and includes a diversity of subjects within contemporary art practice, art theory, art history and art criticism. Mission CCA is an autonomous regional developmental arts organisation which initiates exchanges and programmes that bridge the many island states and the Latin American rim that make up the Caribbean region. These exchanges reinforce the unique culture of the region as our most under utilised developmental tool.

http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/ht/37.3/shaffer.html

Extractions: THE HISTORY TEACHER frequently struggles to find classroom sources that are not only insightful, but also challenge students to be interpretative and imaginative about the past. As an instructional tool, popular culture can do all of these while reflecting the cultural impulses emanating from a particular country or region. To this end, the Caribbean offers the history teacher ample movies, musical selections, novels, and short stories to help students explore various facets of Caribbean history. This article has two aims: first, to illustrate how teachers of Caribbean history can make popular culture central to unlocking the dynamics of the region's history; and, second, to think about strategies and dilemmas involved in using popular culture as "historical texts" in any history course, not just Caribbean history. William Beezley and Linda A. Curcio-Nagy defined popular culture as a "set of images, practices, and interactions that distinguishes a community and often serves as a synonym for national identity," but which also "encapsulates the pleasure in everyday life." Jack Nachbert and Kevin Lause argued that "popular culture is what most people choose to do most of the time."

Extractions: The Garrison, St. Michael, Barbados. Tel: (246) 426-5373 Fax: 429-8483 History In the 1960s at a time when the impact of development activities on Caribbean environments was beginning to be visible, intrusive and troublesome, a number of groups and individuals concerned with the conservation of the region's natural resources and cultural heritage, conceived the idea for the formation of a conservation group for the Caribbean region. With support from Laurence Rockefeller, who in the 1950's had purchased two-thirds of St. John (to the US Virgin Islands) and donated it for establishment of a National Park, a regional survey on conservation problems was carried out by Dr Carl Carlozzi of the University of Massachusetts. One of the first organizations to take concrete action to address on a regional basis the environmental problems brought by development, was the research wing of the then College of the Virgin Islands the Caribbean Research Institute. Established in October 1965, one of the CRI's first significant projects was the joint sponsorship of the Eastern Caribbean Conservation Conference on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands along with the American Conservation Association, headed by Mr Rockefeller, and the Government of the U.S.V.I. The conference focused on the Carlozzi findings and was titled "Conservation in the Eastern Caribbean." It generated a sequence of activities throughout the region relating to conservation programmes and environmental activities. Particularly it recognized the need for international planning and cooperation in meeting the conservation requirements of the region and concluded its deliberations by recommending the establishment of a regional body to help meet these needs.
