Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sons and daughters of St Lucia are likely to love Morgan Dalphinis' clear and readable account of the island's linguistic history. His soaring overview highlights significant points of interconnection in the web of language, culture and identity as the peoples of the island confronted successive waves of change and shaped their destinies. Consequently, St Lucian History & Language not only acknowledges influences pre 1654, but in light of identified developments between that date and 1915 Dalphinis asks us some provocative questions about the direction of travel for both the language and people beyond the early decades of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book BODIES MEMORIES AND SPIRITS written by Travis Weekes and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The island of Saint Lucia possesses a vibrant Creole culture that has given shape to a lively and creative people. Cyclical traditions akin to Community Theatre emerged out of discourses, counter-discourses and work practices during centuries of European slavery and/or colonization of the Amerindian, the African and the East Indian. This text provides descriptions of a selection of those traditions. The research was conducted when the author was employed with the Folk Research Centre and while he was engaged in graduate research as a student of Cultural Studies at UWI, Cave Hill. Although the author attempts to place the traditions under study in their historical context, his focus however is on a discussion of the impact of those traditions on the people and their society.

Download or read book A History of St Lucia written by Jolien Harmsen and published by Robert & Christopher Publishers. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A History of St Lucia is the first-ever detailed and comprehensive record of St Lucia's turbulent past. Beginning with the island's geological formation and subsequent Amerindian occupation, this book takes one through colonization by France and England to the rise and fall of the sugar industry, the tribulations of slavery, the feverish hopes and fears of the Brigand Wars and, eventually, Emancipation. After 1838, St Lucia's newly freed people went in search of independence, dignity and respectability: an era marked by the immigration of indentured workers from Barbados, Africa and India, the rise of a peasantry, and a labouring class in search of new horizons. The arduous battle with 'Mr Hard Times' formed fertile soil for a hard-fought coming of age in the 20th century when unions and political parties developed amidst the turmoil of two World Wars and a city's Death by Fire. Forcing King Sugar to his knees paved the way to a new St Lucia, built on the 'green gold' of the banana industry- an era which in many ways came to an end in 2007 with the passing of the architect of independence, Sir John Compton"--Back cover.

Download or read book St Lucian Kw y l on St Croix written by Edward Mitchell and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04-16 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new work brings together both reviews and critiques of current theories of creolization and provides new data from a sociolinguistic case study of speakers of St. Lucian French-lexifier Creole (Kwéyòl) on the island of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. St. Lucian Kwéyòl has its origins in the 17th century after the French settled there in 1651 from Martinique with their slaves. In the following years, thousands more African slaves were imported. A rugged volcanic island with a roadless interior, St. Lucia provided a haven for runaway slaves (nègres marrons or maroons) from other islands. Buffeted by the forces of globalization and the continued impact of English, Kwéyòl continues to be widely-spoken on St. Lucia today. The crux of the book is the case study that examines Kwéyòl-speaking St. Lucians as a minority community on St. Croix where Kwéyòl is but one of numerous languages spoken, including Caribbean English, Crucian Creole, several other Caribbean Creole languages, Spanish, and Arabic. The collection of data and analytical attention are centered on questions of language choice, language attitudes, ethnolinguistic identity, and bilingualism. This book will be welcomed by students and researchers in linguistics, sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics and anthropology with a special interest in Creole languages and linguistic minorities in multilingual speech communities.

Download or read book The New St Lucia Model written by Martinus Francois and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New St. Lucia Model provides a rare glimpse into the future where the collective desire of the people of St. Lucia, both at home and within the wider St. Lucian diaspora, to push their country beyond the boundaries of fate has resulted in St. Lucia greeting the year 2020 one of the more developed countries of the Caribbean – a successful model of a Social Revolution for similar resource-deprived countries based on a simple-to-follow 10-Point Plan. The New St. Lucia Model is, therefore, a mantra for the Social transformation of St. Lucia – a stimulating political project which is part of the evolution of change which promises to empower the people to influence and participate in the most profound change in the history of St. Lucia since Emancipation – in a very exciting way! The basic postulation of this book is that, hierarchical, centralized, bureaucratic systems designed in the post-colonial era of Caribbean politics of the mid-20th century are an anachronism in the information-rich and knowledge-intensive society of the 21st century. Therefore, Caribbean government and politics have to be re-invented for a post-modern society. The New St. Lucia Model advocates the complete overhaul (and in some cases total jettisoning) of many of our hitherto sacred colonially inherited political institutions to the point that they may even lose some of their traditional meanings and significance: the Monarchy, the Executive, the Legislature, the Civil Service, the Political Parties, Local Government, Regional Integration – in short, much of the unworkable and increasingly unpopular apparatus of supposedly Lockean-type representative government otherwise known as the “Westminster Model”.
