Download or read book Contact Englishes of the Eastern Caribbean written by Michael Aceto and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2003-06-23 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contact Englishes of the Eastern Caribbean is the first collection to focus, via primary linguistic fieldwork, on the underrepresented and neglected area of the Anglophone Eastern Caribbean. The following islands are included: The Virgin Islands (USA & British), Anguilla, Barbuda, Dominica, St. Lucia, Carriacou, Barbados, Trinidad, and Guyana. In an effort to be as inclusive as possible, the contiguous areas of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos islands (often considered part of North American Englishes) are also included. Papers in this volume explore all aspects of language study, including syntax, phonology, historical linguistics, dialectology, sociolinguistics, ethnography, and performance. It should be of interest not only to creolists but also to linguists, anthropologists, sociologists and educators either in the Caribbean itself or those who work with schoolchildren of West Indian descent.

Download or read book Queen of the Virgins written by M. Cynthia Oliver and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beauty pageants are wildly popular in the U.S. Virgin Islands, outnumbering any other single performance event and capturing the attention of the local people from toddlers to seniors. Local beauty contests provide women opportunities to demonstrate talent, style, the values of black womanhood, and the territory's social mores. Queen of the Virgins: Pageantry and Black Womanhood in the Caribbean is a comprehensive look at the centuries-old tradition of these expressions in the Virgin Islands. M. Cynthia Oliver maps the trajectory of pageantry from its colonial precursors at tea meetings, dance dramas, and street festival parades to its current incarnation as the beauty pageant or queen show. For the author, pageantry becomes a lens through which to view the region's understanding of gender, race, sexuality, class, and colonial power. Focusing on the queen show, Oliver reveals its twin roots in slave celebrations that parodied white colonial behavior and created creole royal rituals and celebrations heavily influenced by Africanist aesthetics. Using the U.S. Virgin Islands as an intriguing case study, Oliver shows how the pageant continues to reflect, reinforce, and challenge Caribbean cultural values concerning femininity. Queen of the Virgins examines the journey of the black woman from degraded body to vaunted queen and how this progression is marked by social unrest, growing middle-class sensibilities, and contemporary sexual and gender politics.

Download or read book Islands in the Wind written by Claude M. Jonnard and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: England's former east Caribbean islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands have evolved as constitutional democracies with a mix of open market capitalism and socialist government oversight to shield their people from runaway private enterprise. These are unique achievements for small states fighting for survival in a world of mega power politics. They have against many odds tenaciously clung to their independence, have been able to hold their own in the international corridors of power and have even been successful in growing their economies. The problem is that in the approximately half century since these states have become self-governing, they have been unable to close their income gaps with their more industrialized trading and investment partners in North America, Europe and Asia. Why this income gap continues to exist and how it is being addressed are the issues addressed in this book. This book argues that this existing income inequality in the islands is a consequence of the unequal footing they suffered during the colonial era and is being prolonged by current economic policies and programs encouraged by their own governments in conjunction with those of their major trading partners.

Download or read book Island written by Dr. James Lazell and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guana, in the British Virgin Islands, is home to a remarkably diverse assortment of animal and plant life: mangroves, flamingos, iguanas, frogs, birds, snakes, spiders, tortoises, grasshoppers, and bats, to name but a few. What is so surprising about Guana's astonishing panoply is that, according to prevailing ecological theories, the island's diversity should be much lower than it actually is. This provocative book describes Guana's flora and fauna against the backdrop of islands worldwide and their ecology, evolution, and conservation. Much more than a book about one island, it raises important challenges to prevailing dogma of island biogeography and theoretical ecology. James (Skip) Lazell demonstrates that meaningful conservation and avoiding tragic loss of biodiversity demand we know far more about biological interactions, physiographic and geological structure, meteorology, and other factors. He presents compelling evidence that high levels of natural biodiversity underpin ecosystem resilience and stability. Lazell's engaging narrative, containing many entertaining asides and personal reflections, widens into an evocative commentary about the nature of life on earth.
