Full textAbstract:
In the early 1920s, British West Indians in Banes, Cuba, built one of the world’s most successful branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in the heart of the world-famous United Fruit Company’s sugar-export enclave in Cuba. This article explores the day-to-day function of the UNIA in Banes in order to investigate closely the relationship between British West Indian migration and Garveysim and, in particular, between Garvey’s movement and powerful employers of mobile West Indian labor. It finds that the movement achieved great success in Banes (and in other company towns) by meeting the very specific needs of its members as black workers laboring in sites of U.S. hegemony. Crucially, the UNIA survived, and even thrived, in a company town by taking a pragmatic approach to its dealings with the company.

In a paper presented to the Academy of Medical, Physical and Natural Sciences of Havana on December 14, 1923, Dr. Jorge LeRoy y Cassá identified the “unsanitary immigration” to Cuba of Haitians and British West Indians as his country's most pressing health problem. “Those undesirable elements,” he contended, had introduced malaria, smallpox, typhoid fever, and intestinal parasites into eastern Cuba, maladies which then spread to the rest of the island. Through their “vices,” “violent crimes,” and “nefarious practices of brujerí;a [witchcraft],” in fact, Afro-Caribbean immigrants constituted a “double threat”—moral as well as physical—to the health of the Cuban nation. Somewhat surprisingly, the man who was later hailed as the “Father of Cuban Sanitary Statistics” mustered no direct evidence to support his condemnation of West Indian immigration on medical grounds. But such proof was hardly necessary for his esteemed audience. Although the medical doctors and public health officials assembled before LeRoy y Cassa at the Academy of Sciences may have differed on the issue of prohibiting.

Full textAbstract:
Barcelona fue el lugar elegido por muchos indianos enriquecidos en Cuba y Puerto Rico al instalarse en Europa. Unos indianos que durante el Sexenio Democrático se organizaron en el Círculo Hispano-Ultramarino de dicha ciudad para presionar por el mantenimiento de la esclavitud en ambas Antillas, primero, y para desestabilizar a la I República, después. Aquella entidad fue capaz de implicar en sus campañas antiabolicionistas y proesclavistas a las principales organizaciones económicas catalanas, así como a amplios sectores de las élites de Cataluña, quienes asumieron públicamente sus argumentos participando en plataformas más amplias como la Liga Nacional o la Comisión Defensora de los Intereses de España en Cuba. Y aunque la presión proesclavista no pudo evitar la abolición de la esclavitud en Puerto Rico y en Cuba, sí consiguió alargar su vigencia durante unos años en la Gran Antilla mediante la institución del Patronato. El legado más destacable (y también el más perdurable) del Círculo Hispano-Ultramarino de Barcelona fue el Banco Hispano Colonial, una entidad financiera nacida en 1876 que acabaría transformándose en un verdadero banco de negocios y que gestionaría las aduanas cubanas hasta el final de la dominación española sobre la isla, en 1898.

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of a miracle in Cuba. The author traces the historical and cultural features of the development of Cuba and develops an idea of the transculturation of the miracle. He analyzes how Afro-genic traditions such as Santeria, Palo Monte and others were enriched with European-Christian and Indian elements, adapting them to their cosmologies and magical practices. Special attention is paid to the role of the trickster spirits, especially Eshu, as well as witchcraft with the help of dangerous, demonic forces. The article is based on the field material collected by the author in Cuba in 2013 and 2019 through informal interviews and participant observation.

In islands of the West Indian zoogeographical region, rabbits are not native, and wild populations are the result of introductions. Oryctolagus cuniculus is the only lagomorph listed among the introduced mammals of the Cuban archipelago. We analyzed specimens of wild rabbits and we report the occurrence of Sylvilagus floridanus for the first time in Cuba. Capture data suggest that their distribution is currently limited to the west-central region of the island. However, the niche models showed high climatic suitability throughout the majority of Cuba, suggesting a high expansion probability.

Full textAbstract:
Here we describe 11 new species of blindsnakes of the genus Typhlops from the West Indies. Four of the new species are from southern Hispaniola and were previously confused with T. hectus Thomas. Seven other species are described from Cuba and are related to T. biminiensis Richmond. Diagnostic morphological differences distinguish all of these species, and at least three pairs are known to be sympatric. With these new taxa, 40 species of Typhlops are now recognized from the West Indies, all of which are endemic to the region. Nearly all species are found on single islands or island banks. We classify West Indian Typhlops into nine species groups, most of which exhibit geographic patterns. The West Indian species form two clades: the T. biminiensis Group with its 12 species is centered in the western Caribbean (Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Cuba) and the remaining species, grouped into eight species groups, form a large clade (Major Antillean Radiation) centered in Hispaniola, but with a closely related pair of lineages in the Puerto Rico region (7 sp.) and northern Lesser Antilles (5 sp.).

Uma lei debatida no congresso indiano por ocasião da emergência do Estado-nação, cuja intenção era expurgar elementos ambíguos entre renunciantes, inspira um debate inicial a respeito de discursos e procedimentos de registro e controle da instituição da renúncia na Índia. Este artigo argumenta que o ascetismo “não-domesticado” sofreu encapsulamento político-conceitual ao longo de situações históricas diversas, mas continua a oferecer uma retórica vivida de empoderamento e emancipação considerada legítima. A partir da análise de modelos míticos como Shiva e Dattātreya e de sujeitos etnográficos como os praticantes de austeridades entre nāgā sādhus, propõe-se uma avaliação do conceito de siddha, iogue que adquiriu poderes criativos. O artigo sugere que a trajetória do asceta heterodoxo seja vista como empoderadora, de acordo com sua matriz cognitiva siddha e tântrica, e que a performance “no mundo” do virtuose seja compreendida como linguagem dissidente.

Full textAbstract:
There has been very little research on marine mammals in Cuban waters. Much of the information on marine mammals in this region is buried in historical and gray literature. In order to provide a comprehensive account of marine mammal occurrence in Cuba’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), we reviewed and verified 659 published and unpublished sighting, stranding, capture, and tagging records. Eighteen extant species and four genera have confirmed records for Cuban EEZ waters. This includes 17 species of cetaceans (three baleen whales and 14 toothed whales) and one sirenian species. An additional 11 cetacean species and one extant pinniped species have been reported, but not confirmed, or may have the potential to occur in Cuban waters. Historical records of the Caribbean monk seal (Monachus tropicalis) are documented in Cuba; however, this species is now considered extinct. The only two species that are seen regularly and considered common in Cuban nearshore waters are the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus).

Full textAbstract:
Most West Indian snakes of the family Dipsadidae belong to the Subfamily Xenodontinae and Tribe Alsophiini. As recognized here, alsophiine snakes are exclusively West Indian and comprise 43 species distributed throughout the region. These snakes are slender and typically fast-moving (active foraging), diurnal species often called racers. For the last four decades, their classification into six genera was based on a study utilizing hemipenial and external morphology and which concluded that their biogeographic history involved multiple colonizations from the mainland. Although subsequent studies have mostly disagreed with that phylogeny and taxonomy, no major changes in the classification have been proposed until now. Here we present a DNA sequence analysis of five mitochondrial genes and one nuclear gene in 35 species and subspecies of alsophiines. Our results are more consistent with geography than previous classifications based on morphology, and support a reclassification of the species of alsophiines into seven named and three new genera: Alsophis Fitzinger (Lesser Antilles), Arrhyton Günther (Cuba), Borikenophis Hedges & Vidal gen. nov. (Puerto Rican Bank and nearby islands), Caraiba Zaher et al. (Cuba), Cubophis Hedges & Vidal gen. nov. (primarily Cuba but extending throughout the western Caribbean and Bahamas Bank), Haitiophis Hedges & Vidal gen. nov. (Hispaniola), Hypsirhynchus Günther (Hispaniola and Jamaica), Ialtris Cope (Hispaniola), Magliophis Zaher et al. (Puerto Rican Bank), and Uromacer Duméril & Bibron (Hispaniola). Several subspecies are recognized as full species. Three subtribes are recognized within the tribe Alsophiini Fitzinger: Alsophiina Fitzinger (for Alsophis, Borikenophis, Caraiba, Cubophis, Haitiophis, Hypsirhynchus, Ialtris, and Magliophis), Arrhytonina Hedges & Vidal subtribus nov. (for Arrhyton), and Uromacerina Hedges & Vidal subtribus nov. (for Uromacer). Divergence time estimates based on the molecular data indicate a relatively recent (~17–13 million years ago, Ma) origin for alsophiines. A single species apparently dispersed from South America, probably colonizing Hispaniola or Cuba and then later (13–0 Ma) there was dispersal to other islands and subsequent adaptive radiation, mostly in the Pliocene (5.3–1.8 Ma) and Pleistocene (1.8–0.01 Ma). More evidence will be needed to resolve all relationships among the genera and species groups and further details of their biogeographic history.

Full textAbstract:
In early 1515, a small Spanish expedition set sail for the province of Cumaná, located along the coast of what was then called Tierra Firme (an area spanning much of present-day Central and South America). Nominally, the squadron, led by Spanish scribe Gomez de Ribera, was sent to punish a group of “Carib” Indians who had recently attacked and killed two Spaniards on the small island of San Vicente. Once caught, these “Caribs” would be enslaved and sold in the markets of Española, Puerto Rico, or Cuba. Caribs, though speakers of the Arawakan language, were inhabitants of the Lesser Antilles and were likely culturally and politically distinct from the Taíno of the Greater Antilles. Inhabitants of the Lesser Antilles first received the ethnic label of Carib during Christopher Columbus's second voyage in 1493. Over time, Europeans exacerbated the pre-Columbian divide between Caribs and Taínos, creating a colonial dichotomy that helped the Spanish to expand the indigenous slave trade. By the third decade of colonization, or the time of Ribera's expedition, the Spanish had begun labeling all rebellious Indians as Caribs or cannibals so as to legally enslave them.

Rochester VT: Destiny Books, 1993. xii + 148 pp. (Paper US$ 12.95)Since 1959, the steady exodus from revolutionary Cuba has led to the gradual emergence of an Afro-Cuban religious diaspora in the United States. While this phenomenon has attracted scholarly attention for some time, the literature has grown particularly rapidly in recent years. It is, perhaps, not entirely fortuitous that a spate of current academic publications on the subject coincided with a scramble by the popular media to exploit its exotic potential in the context of the 1993 U.S. Supreme Court case on animal sacrifice. Clearly, what has come to be called an Afro-Cuban "cultic renaissance" in exile holds promise both for sensationalist journalism and certain kinds of theoretical projects. Partly articulating with older, but politically reinvigorated debates about the relations between African and African-American cultures, partly addressing fundamental questions about conventional models of cultural boundedness and coherence, and, finally, calling into question both popular and academic notions of "modernity" (and its inevitable counterpart "tradition"), the 292 New West Indian Guide/Nieuwe West-Indische Gids vol. 70 no. 3 &4 (1996)problems posed by the emergence of an Afro-Cuban religious diaspora in the United States present a timely challenge.

Typhlops golyathi sp. nov. is described from Pinar del Río Province, Western Cuba. It is characterized by its large size, sharp–pointed to rounded snout, broad rostral in dorsal view, broader than long, preocular in contact with second and third supralabials, greater number of middorsal scales than any other West Indian scolecophidian (629), and 26 longitudinal scale rows anteriorly reducing to 22 posteriorly at 42 % total length. It can be placed within the T. biminiensis species group and a key to the Cuban species is presented.

When Christopher Columbus arrived at La Espanola (the large island called in English Hispaniola, now divided between the modern states of Haiti and the Dominican Republic) in early December 1492, he encountered a society entirely different from the ones described by Marco Polo for Asia and India. Columbus, sailing through the Bahamas and Cuba, had already discovered indios who went about naked, did not know the wheel nor used any metal tools, practised agriculture and fishing, and had a complex social structure and an elaborated system of religious beliefs. These ‘Indians’ called themselves Tainos, to signify that they were peaceful, although they defended themselves well from their neighbouring enemies, the Caribes of the Lesser Antilles islands (Colon 1961; Las Casas 1967)

Nas escavações realizadas no Baluarte de San Ignacio e a muralha em Cartagen das Indias, foram identificados restos de duas canoas a 4 metros de profundidade em ambiente úmido salino, presumivelmente pertencentes ao século XVIII e cuja utilização foi associada à construção das muralhas. Com base no conceito de paisagem cultural marítima, foram analisados os diversos componentes, usos e funções dessas canoas, tanto como um evidência de construção naval quanto de uma técnica de engenharia de transformar uma área marinha em zona terrestre como marco de sua estratéfia defensiva territorial na época colonial.

Full textAbstract:
O trabalho do Jurista espanhol Juan de Solárzano Pereira está conectado ao desenvolvimento do então chamado <em>Derecho Indiano</em>. Como alguém cuja vida se desenvolveu em contextos ligados aos dois lados do Atlântico, ele é uma figura complexa e muitas pesquisas a seu respeito precisam ser feitas. Este trabalho visa mostrar uma nova, consistente e atualizada análise da produção desse jurista em termos de trabalhos impressos. Por sua vez, isso pode ser de grande ajuda para contextualizar devidamente sua doutrina do <em>Derecho Indiano, </em>algo que dificilmente seria possível se focássemos apenas na versão espanhola – mais condensada – dos seus tratados em latim. Para melhor entender os principais aspectos internos e arquitetura interna das concepções de Solórzano sobre o <em>Derecho indiano</em>, é importante estar ciente que seu trabalho tem sido originalmente projetado, transformado, e eventualmente circulado fora dos canais estritamente espanhóis. Estes desafios representam algumas dificuldades dependendo do corpo da bibliografia secundária disponível que, apesar de ampla, não oferece um estudo consistente sobre o autor. Olhando para sua produção como um sistema complexo dentro do qual cada livro cumpre um papel diferente, nós podemos não somente descobrir as próprias percepções do Solórzano a respeito do <em>Derecho Indiano</em>, mas também a agenda que a Coroa desejava defender veementemente apoiando-se em seu trabalho.

Abstract When Richard Henry Pratt founded the Carlisle Indian Boarding School in 1879, his goal was to civilize Indigenous bodies. In doing so, the school implemented a series of forceful measures including language training, Western-style dress, hair cutting, and, perhaps uniquely, sports. At the same time that Carlisle was collecting children from across the continent, the United States was expanding territorially: Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines, Hawai’i. As many scholars have noted, the United States was becoming an imperial force. Like Pratt’s students, those who fell within the American imperial network were exposed to sports as a mechanism of control. While there is extensive work on both the relationship between sport and empire, as well as the use of sport within the Indian Boarding School system of the 1870s to the 1910s, there is a dearth of historiographical work that puts the two into conversation with each other. By exploring the domineering effect that sports had in the Indian Boarding School network and contextualizing it within the larger arc of sports in American Empire, this article expands the conceptual framework of sport and empire in order to paint a more complete picture of the consistency and significance with which imperial governments imposed athletics in various geographies.

RESUMO Este artigo busca discutir a importância do ensino intercultural (BYRAM, 2008; SIQUEIRA, 2008, 2011, 2013; KRAMSCH, 2001) de língua inglesa na Educação Básica a partir da análise das respostas de alunos do segundo ano do Ensino Médio Regular do Colégio Estadual Pandiá Calógeras, que fica localizado do município de São Gonçalo - RJ. No segundo semestre do ano letivo de 2017, esses alunos tiveram contato, por meio de um exercício de compreensão oral elaborado pela professora regente, com variedades que representam dois modelos distintos de inglês, a saber, o hegemônico, representado por um falante norte-americano, e o não hegemônico, representado por um falante indiano. Durante a atividade, grande parte dos alunos pesquisados apresentou predileção pelo sotaque norte-americano e, por sua vez, preteriram o indiano, corroborando, assim, a importância da implementação de atividades que promovam um olhar crítico acerca da língua inglesa no contexto escolar. Diante disto, devemos salientar que o ensino de língua inglesa apresentado neste estudo é norteado pelas premissas do inglês como língua franca (ILF), cuja definição ressignificada não se encaixa ao seu conceito antigo.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the mutually reinforcing imperatives of government science, capitalism, and American empire through a history of the U.S. Weather Bureau's West Indian weather service at the turn of the twentieth century. The original impetus for expanding American meteorological infrastructure into the Caribbean in 1898 was to protect naval vessels from hurricanes, but what began as a measure of military security became, within a year, an instrument of economic expansion that extracted climatological data and produced agricultural reports for American investors. This article argues that the West Indian weather service was a project of imperial meteorology that sought to impose a rational scientific and bureaucratic order on a region that American officials considered racially and culturally inferior, yet relied on the labor of local observers and Cuban meteorological experts in order to do so. Weather reporting networks are examined as a material and symbolic extension of American technoscientific power into the Caribbean and as a knowledge infrastructure that linked the production of agricultural commodities in Cuba and Puerto Rico to the world of commodity exchange in the United States.

RESUMO Este artigo discute a autotradução, centrando-se na escritora Jhumpa Lahiri, enquanto autotradutora de Dove mi Trovo (2018) - obra escrita pela autora em italiano e traduzida por ela para a língua inglesa, cuja publicação foi intitulada Whereabouts (2021a). A discussão destaca essa particularidade que recobre tal prática de Lahiri, isto é, o fato de que a referida autotradução deu-se a partir da língua italiana para a língua inglesa, embora a autora, sendo inglesa, de descendência indiana e naturalizada norte-americana, tenha durante muitos anos escrito exclusivamente em inglês. Considerando essa configuração inversa e, com base nas próprias reflexões de Lahiri sobre autotradução, este artigo objetiva compreender como a autora percebe a sua prática.

Con la derrota de los españoles en Boyacá, el 7 de agosto de 1819, cayó Santafé la capital del virreinato de Nueva Granada en manos de los patriotas colombianos, pero no así el Estado español. El virrey Sámano y la Real Audiencia huyeron a refugiarse en Cartagena de Indias en donde continuaron gobernando. El conflicto entre Sámano, partidario del absolutismo monárquico, y Gabriel de Torres, gobernador de Cartagena, de ideas liberales, pronto se manifestó. Al negarse el virrey a jurar la Constitución de Cádiz restablecida en España en 1820, el gobernador, con fundamento en dicha carta, lo depuso y asumió el poder político y militar. Sámano se embarcó hacia Cuba y Torres quedó como único y legítimo Jefe del Estado español en lo que quedaba de la Nueva Granada. Defendió valientemente esta postrera posesión de la monarquía hasta que, asediado por el ejército colombiano comandado por Mariano Montilla y la armada por José Padilla, no tuvo más remedio que rendirse y entregar la Plaza Fuerte a los colombianos el 10 de octubre de 1821. Se embarcó con sus tropas hacia Cuba para nunca más volver.

The drive towards the abolition of the slave trade at the beginning of the 19th century was not effective until the 1850s. It was perhaps the only migratory intercontinental movement in history which came to a complete stop because of political pressures in spite of the fact that neither the supply nor the demand for African slaves had disappeared.Because of the continuing demand for bonded labour in some of the plantation areas in the New World (notably the Guiana's, Trinidad, Cuba and Brazil) and because of a new demand for bonded labour in the developing sugar and mining industries in Mauritius, Réunion, Queensland (Australia), Natal (South Africa), the Fiji-islands and Hawaii an international search for ‘newslaves’ started.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryPopulations of the recently split Northern Rockhopper PenguinEudyptes moseleyiare restricted to Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island in the South Atlantic, and Amsterdam and St Paul in the Indian Ocean. The majority of the population is in the Atlantic (> 80%), but population trends at Tristan da Cunha and Gough are uncertain. Early records indicate “millions” of penguins used to occur at Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island. The most recent estimates indicate declines in excess of 90% for both Gough and the main island of Tristan that have occurred over at least 45 and 130 years, respectively. Numbers breeding at Inaccessible and Nightingale islands (TDC) also may have declined since the 1970s, albeit modestly, whereas numbers on Tristan appear stable over the last few decades. Current population estimates are 32,000–65,000 pairs at Gough, 18–27,000 at Inaccessible, 19,500 at Nightingale, and 3,200–4,500 at Tristan. Numbers and trends at Middle Island (TDC) are unknown. Middle Island supported an estimated 100,000 pairs in 1973, and recent observations suggest this colony is being impacted by competition for space with recently recolonising Subantarctic Fur SealsArctocephalus tropicalis. Past human exploitation and the impact of introduced predators may be responsible for the historical decline in numbers at Tristan, but these factors cannot explain the sharp decrease (since the 1950s) at Gough Island. Overall, declines at Gough, Tristan, Nightingale and Inaccessible islands indicate a three-generation decline of > 50%. Taken in combination with recent decreases in Indian Ocean populations, the Northern Rockhopper Penguins is now categorised as globally ‘Endangered’. Determining the causal factors responsible for these recent declines is an urgent priority.

AbstractThis essay explores debates over political membership and rights within empire from the interwar British Caribbean. Although no formal status of imperial, British, or colonial citizenship existed in this era, British Caribbeans routinely hailed each other as meritorious local “citizens,” demanded political rights due them as “British citizens,” and decried rulers' failure to treat colored colonials equally with other “citizens” of the empire. In the same years, the hundreds of thousands of British West Indians who labored in circum-Caribbean republics like the United States, Panama, Cuba, Venezuela, and Costa Rica experienced firsthand the international consolidation of formal citizenship as a state-issued credential ensuring mobility and abode. This convergence pushed British Caribbeans at home and abroad to question the costs of political disfranchisement and the place of race within empire. The vernacular political philosophy they developed in response importantly complements the influential theories of citizenship and rights developed by European thinkers of the same generation, such as T. H. Marshall and Hannah Arendt.
