General Information Pages This "general information" page consists of some sites that are difficult to list in other categories of the CAC, as well as sites focused on pre-colonial and post-colonial history of indigenous peoples of the Caribbean that do no neatly fit into the other categories. In addition, sites pertaining to the indigenous peoples of other territories than those listed on the current community pages are listed here. They are listed here given that either they are insufficient in number to form their own category, or, they do not yet possess any organized asssociations of indigenous peoples.
MISCELLANY
  • The Ameribbean: Information, pictures and cultures of Indigenous Tribes in Central America and the Caribbean (in progress). “Ancient Beadmakers of the Caribbean”, By David R. Watters: “…The exquisitely crafted beads, pendants and related objects from Trants attest to the skill of its Saladoid inhabitants in working stone and shell. Our research involves analyzing beads held in museum collections as well as conducting new excavations to document these artifacts in their stratigraphic context, from which we can interpret their antiquity and cultural implications…” The Fire this Time: a comprehensive website utilising text, photos, animation and numerous musical mp3's to examine the links between black and indigenous peoples (Black Indians). Among other things the site examines the history of indigenous (Amerindian) people in Jamaica, Cuba, Belize, Bolivia, Peru, Costa Rica, Panama, Brazil and their struggles and cultures were linked and often joined with those of black people to form "Black Indian" culture. See especially the sections on "Black Indian Resistance" and "Supai Reservation".

A Caribbean Primer
by Lucretia Stewart A 1978 New Yorker cartoon depicted a middle-aged couple talking over drinks: it bore the caption: 'Let's go to the Caribbean or someplace and give our brains a rest.' A 1978 New Yorker cartoon depicted a middle-aged couple talking over drinks: it bore the caption: 'Let's go to the Caribbean or someplace and give our brains a rest.' This is a little unfair, but it is true that one of the reasons that people love to go to the Caribbean is because the islands are deemed relatively culture-free and you can really relax. And compared to, say, Italy Greece or France , there is indeed an absence of culture – in the form of churches, museums and ancient monuments – but there is a wealth of culture in other guises. Given that that culture is combined with one of the most agreeable climates in the world, some of the best sea you can hope to find and some of the friendliest, most easy-going people around, you are pretty much guaranteed to have a wonderful time in the Caribbean islands.

Caribbean Islands
SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS
With the exception of Trinidad, where East Indians and Africans are nearly equal in number, the Caribbean states have predominantly African-derived populations. Race, ethnicity, class, and color, however, do not constitute the mutually reinforcing cleavages found elsewhere. No regional political or social organization is based exclusively on race, class, or color. Overt forms of segregation and discrimination do not exist, and crude political appeals to race and color have not been successful. Nevertheless, color consciousness permeates the societies, and various forms of more subtle social discrimination against non-Christians and East Indians, for example, have persisted. Despite the common official language, common institutions, and common historical experience, each island and state has a distinct set of characteristics. For example, the local inflection of the English spoken in Jamaica varies significantly from that spoken in Barbados or Trinidad. Literacy rates also vary greatly from between 75 and 80 percent in Jamaica and St. Lucia to almost universal literacy in Trinidad, Barbados, and the Bahamas. In a region where a constant racial and cultural mixing over centuries have resulted in extreme heterogeneity, any ethnic ideal clashes with the observed reality of everyday life. Nevertheless, ideals exist, often based on European models, and are at variance with the expressed rhetoric of the political majority, which tries to emphasize the African cultural heritage. At all levels of Caribbean societies, tensions exist between centrifugal state policies and ideals on the one hand and individual beliefs, family, and kin on the other. These tensions are exacerbated by the fragile political structures and even more delicate economic foundations on which a viable, cohesive nationalism must be forged among the Commonwealth Caribbean peoples. The most urgent challenges for the new political leaders lie in satisfying the constantly rising expectations amid the reality of constantly shrinking resources.

Government and Politics
The Governmental System
Antigua and Barbuda is a constitutional monarchy with a British-style parliamentary system of government. The reigning British monarch is represented in Antigua by an appointed governor general as the head of state. The government has three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The executive branch is derived from the legislative branch. As leader of the majority party of the House of Representatives, the prime minister appoints other members of Parliament to be his cabinet ministers. In late 1987, the cabinet included thirteen ministries: Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Fisheries, and Housing; Ministry of Defense; Ministry of Economic Development, Tourism, and Energy; Ministry of Education, Culture, and Youth Affairs; Ministry of External Affairs; Ministry of Finance; Ministry of Health; Ministry of Home Affairs; Ministry of Information; Ministry of Labour; Ministry of Legal Affairs; Ministry of Public Utilities and Aviation; and Ministry of Public Works and Communications. The judicial branch is relatively independent of the other two branches, although the magistrates are appointed by the Office of the Attorney General in the executive branch. The judiciary consists of the Magistrate's Court for minor offenses and the High Court for major offenses. To proceed beyond the High Court, a case must pass to the Eastern Caribbean States Supreme Court, whose members are appointed by the OECS. All appointments or dismissals of magistrates of the Supreme Court must meet with the unanimous approval of the heads of government in the OECS system; the prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda acts on the recommendation of the attorney general in making decisions concerning this judicial body.

    Concept Statement Current Issue - Table of Contents Archived Issues Home RACE, CULTURE AND SURVIVAL IN THE GREATER CARIBBEAN: A LESSON FOR US ALL Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica (emeritus) E-mail - qduncan@yahoo.co DEFINITION OF THE TERM: CULTURAL AREA There is a vast area, extending from New Orleans in the North, through Veracruz on the Atlantic coast of Mexico, the Caribbean coast of Central America, including Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and most of the Isthmus of Panama, all of the Caribbean Islands, and the Atlantic coast of the northern part of South America including Colombia, Venezuela and ending in the Guyanas. It is termed Greater Caribbean. One of the most outstanding characteristics of the Greater Caribbean is its cultural diversity, among which one can perceive the decisive presence of the African culture. The Greater Caribbean is definitely a cultural entity with a very unique identity. People living in this area are more aware of their uniqueness, as compared to the neighboring cultural communities. But only a minority has an encompassing awareness of the magnitude and dimension of their culture, a rather peculiar cultural formation that sometimes doesn't seem to be self-conscious. I remember being invited in the United States to enjoy a traditional New Orleans that turned out to be completely equivalent to the soup my Jamaican grandmother used to prepare for me in Puerto Limon, Costa Rica, a matter that turned out to be of concern to me, when she died. As a six-year old boy, I raised the following point with my Mom: "Now, who's going to cook my soup for me?"
