Download or read book Black Seminoles in the Bahamas written by Rosalyn Howard and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An excellent case study of a little-studied and poorly known community experiencing the processes of identity formation and culture change."--Brent R. Weisman, University of South Florida This is the first full-length ethnography of a unique community within the African diaspora. Rosalyn Howard traces the history of the isolated "Red Bays" community of the Bahamas, from their escape from the plantations of the American South through their utilization of social memory in the construction of new identity and community. Some of the many African slaves escaping from southern plantations traveled to Florida and joined the Seminole Indians, intermarried, and came to call themselves Black Seminoles. In 1821, pursued and harassed by European Americans through the First Seminole War, approximately 200 members of this group fled to Andros Island, where they remained essentially isolated for nearly 150 years. Drawing on archival and secondary sources in the United States and the Bahamas as well as interviews with members of the present-day Black Seminole community on Andros Island, Howard reconstructs the story of the Red Bays people. She chronicles their struggles as they adapt to a new environment and forge a new identity in this insular community and analyzes the former slaves' relationship with their Native American companions. Black Seminoles in contemporary Red Bays number approximately 290, the majority of whom are descended directly from the original settlers. As part of her research, Howard lived for a year in this small community, recording its oral history and analyzing the ways in which that history informed the evolving identity of the people. Her treatment dispels the air of mystery surrounding the Black Seminoles of Andros and provides a foundation for further anthropological and historical investigations.

Download or read book Caribe Dreamer written by Donald Knoepfle and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailing is not just transportation as it was in the past. It can be a slow-paced adventure, or a physically demanding, pressure-packed sport like America's Cup racing. Some sailors dream of sailing off around the world like Slocum in the late 1800's on "Spray", or Jack London in 1907 on "Snark". They were the dreamers who actually made it happen. New sailing dreamers are still spawned every day, awaiting the opportunity to push off and "pull it off''! Scott Lindsay is a modern day dreamer, and through struggles and determination, made his dream came true. Scott makes his living, as a charter captain of Caribe Dreamer a 40' Sloop rigged catamaran, in the Bahamas. He is innocently thrown into the crosshairs of evil and death. Like the author, Scott's military training was in the Army, but his ambition is to go to sea. A combination of sailing and military experience places him and his wife at dangerous crossroads, where terrorism threatens the tranquility of the Abacos. This tale of romance, foreign intrigue and espionage, combined with the beauty and innocence of the Bahama out-islands and people, is the perfect foil for an international scheme that threatens the lives of Jewish Americans!
