Los abolicionistas en Puerto Rico & El papel histórico y social de la mujer en el Caribe hispánico con énfasis en Puerto Rico

Figueroa, Dra. Loida, “Los abolicionistas en Puerto Rico” & “El papel histórico y social de la mujer en el Caribe hispánico con énfasis en Puerto Rico”

Dra. Loida Figueroa: Por muchos años se distinguió como profesora de Historia en la Universidad de Puerto Rico en Mayagüez. Fue una de las primeras mujeres en escribir un libro sobre historia puertorriqueña. Su “Breve historia de Puerto Rico” se publicó en 1968 y fue reeditado en varias ocasiones. (…) En 1957 obtuvo una plaza de profesora en el Colegio de Agricultura y Artes Mecánicas (CAAM, luego UPR en Mayagüez), y comenzó a laborar en la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales. En Mayagüez se integró al Comité del PIP. Conoció a Rafael Cancel Rodríguez, Santiago Mari, Lidia Barreto, Juan Mari Brás y otros; con ellos fue partidaria de transformaciones en el Partido. Sin embargo, la negación al cambio en el PIP, contribuyó a que Figueroa y los otros independentistas mencionados, entre otros, en 1959 fundaran el Movimiento Pro Independencia (MPI). Este movimiento desarrolló una campaña más combativa que el PIP y de crítica abierta al Gobierno.

A Short History Of Barbados

Connell, Neville C., A Short History Of Barbados, Barbados Museum & Historical Society, 1 Jan. 1960.

The Barbados Coat of Arms was designed by Mr. Neville C. Connell who was director of the Barbados Museum for almost 24 years. He was a prolific writer and contributed a great number of articles for the Museum Journals, local newspapers as well as publications overseas. He was educated at Harrison College, Barbados and Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. He was called to the Bar at Grey's Inn. He served in the Royal Artillery on the outbreak of war. After his discharge he worked in an Antique Dealer's business and was also Assistant Secretary of the Institute Practitioners in Advertising. The Design of Barbados Coat of Arms was the result of extensive research conducted by Mr. Connell who was a student of Heraldy. He was assisted in this work by Mrs. Hilda Ince (now deceased), an excellent artist. The developmental sketches of the Coat of Arms remain in the possession of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society.

Ponencias del Segundo Encuentro de Historiadores Latinoamericanos

Ponencias del Segundo Encuentro de Historiadores Latinoamericanos, del 20 al 26 de marzo de 1977 en Caracas, organizado por la Escuela de Historia de la Universidad Central de Venezuela.

Asociación de Historiadores Latinoamericanos y del Caribe (ADHILAC):

Gracias a las gestiones de los organizadores de la reunión fundacional en México, se consiguió desarrollar un II Encuentro, del 20 al 26 de marzo de 1977 en Caracas, organizado por la Escuela de Historia de la Universidad Central de Venezuela, con el respaldo de la Universidad del Zulia y del gobierno venezolano. Alrededor de cuatrocientos delegados y observadores de diferentes países, incluyendo participantes del Caribe –entre ellos, los ya desaparecidos historiadores Manuel Moreno Fraginals y Francisco Pérez Guzmán, los primeros cubanos en incorporarse a las actividades de ADHILAC- se dieron cita en la capital venezolana. Las ponencias de este congreso, celebrado en la Sala de Armas del Círculo Militar de Caracas, fueron después editadas por los organizadores venezolanos encabezados por Germán Carrera Damas y Eduardo Arcila Farías.

Thanks to the efforts of the organizers of the founding meeting of ADHILAC (the Association of Latin American and Caribbean Historians) in Mexico, a Second Meeting was held, from March 20 to 26, 1977 in Caracas, organized by the School of History of the Central University of Venezuela, with the support of the University of Zulia and the Venezuelan government. Around four hundred delegates and observers from different countries, including participants from the Caribbean – among them, the now deceased historians Manuel Moreno Fraginals and Francisco Pérez Guzmán, the first Cubans to join ADHILAC activities – gathered in the Venezuelan capital. The presentations of this congress, held in the Weapons Room of the Military Circle of Caracas, were later edited by the Venezuelan organizers headed by Germán Carrera Damas and Eduardo Arcila Farías.

Papers from the XIV Conference of the Association of Caribbean Historians, Barbados, 1982.

The origin of the Association of Caribbean Historians (ACH) is rooted in discussions on collaboration across the region initiated by Jacques Adelaide-Merlande of Guadeloupe with colleagues in the University of the West Indies (UWI). In April 1969, Jacques invited UWI historians to participate in a colloquium on “From Slavery to Emancipation.” Out of the subsequent discussion, first, between Jacques and Woodville Marshall, Carl Campbell and Neville Hall and, later, inside the UWI department of history, the UWI historians organized the second conference at UWI, Cave Hill, Barbados in April 1970.

The Association of Caribbean Historians (ACH) is an independent, non-profit, professional organization devoted to the promotion of Caribbean history from a multidisciplinary, pan-Caribbean perspective, and is the primary association for scholarly and public historians working in the field. Initially formed from a 1969 colloquium under the leadership of Francophone scholar Jacques Adélaïde-Merlande. In 1973, the ACH was formed. Since then, the organization has grown to several hundred members around the globe.

Does Europe Still Stop at the Pyrenees? or Does Latin America Begin There?: Iberia, Latin America, and the Second Enlargement of the European Community

Wiarda, Howard J., Does Europe Still Stop at the Pyrenees? or Does Latin America Begin There?: Iberia, Latin America, and the Second Enlargement of the European Community, Occasional Papers Series No. 2, The Center for Hemispheric Studies: American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, 1981.

Reviewed by Dr. Cecile-Marie Sastre, Historian and Archaeologist:

Spain and Portugal, which together comprise the Iberian Peninsula, form part of the European continent and contain one of the richest pre-historic, Celtic, Roman, Visigothic, Moorish, Medieval and Renaissance traditions of the whole of Europe. To suggest that Latin America begins in Iberia is to deny the peninsula its rightful place in European History. Such a suggestion is akin to saying that the United States of America, which includes African-American and Native American citizens, as well as people from all over the world, is a pure extension of England. The ancient and Medieval traditions of Iberia have no connection to the Americas and it is this formative period that defines the peninsula within the context of European history. There is no denying that Spain and Portugal gave Latin America its language, religion and culture. But in America, Iberian traditions were adapted to fit the world view of the native populations. In addition the colonizers that settled there adopted natives traditions, thereby transforming to some degree their own Iberian culture. Naturally, native products such as tomatoes, tobacco, corn and potatoes changed forever the cuisine of Iberia, but so did these crops change the eating habits of Great Britain, Ireland, the United States and other parts of the world. The potato is native to the Andes Mountains of South America. Shall we then say that Ireland, which adopted the tuber wholeheartedly, was an extension of Latin America? Equating Iberia with its Latin American ex-colonies can only be done by someone who is ignorant of Spanish and Portuguese history and who has succumbed to the North American penchant for viewing Iberia through a Latin American lens. A lens crafted from Anglo-American stereotypes of what they perceive exists south of the border.

Curaçao

Römer, René, Curaçao, Curaçao: Association of Caribbean Universities and Research Institutes [UNICA], 1981.

Reviewed in Hispanic American Historical Review (1982) 62 (4): 730.

From the Foreword by Leito, B. M., Governor of the Netherlands Antilles:

Un Pueblo Na Kaminda – a People on the Move: an apt title for a study of the evolution of the population of the island of Curaçao from the coming of the first settlers from overseas to its present day composition, with a look into the future. I consider this study by Dr. René Römer so important because it gives the reader an idea of the genesis of our remarkable, extremely mixed society. In my opinion, variety is perhaps the most typical feature of the society of Curaçao: this variety is expressed in the different shades of skin colour, the other racial characteristics, religious confessions, the many languages spoken by groups and families, and many other aspects of social life on the island.

The Workers' Liberation Front (Dutch: Arbeiders Bevrijdingsfront, Papiamento: Frente Obrero Liberashon, FOL), officially the 30th of May Workers' Liberation Front Party:

The party was founded in 1969 and named after the riots/uprising of 30 May. When Wilson Godett and Stanley Brown were elected in the Estates of the Netherlands Antilles, they were still in jail for their connections with the riots; but their upcoming membership in the Estates set them free.[1] During the 2002 and 2006 elections respectively, the party won 5 and 2 of the 14 Curaçao-seats in the 22 seat Estates of the Netherlands Antilles,[4][5] but during the 2010 election the party failed to obtain any seats.[6]

René Antonio Römer (2 July 1929, Willemstad, Curaçao – 25 February 2003, Curaçao)[1] was Governor of the Netherlands Antilles from 1983 to 1989. He was also a professor of sociology at the University of the Netherlands Antilles and at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.

René Römer: Striking a Path, Creating a Legacy, Extract from the Introductory chapter in René Römer als inspirator: actualiseringen van zijn gedachtegoed. Curaçao: University of the Netherlands Antilles, 2006:9 – 15:

René Antonio Römer had an incredibly varied career, working in the areas of civil service, policy making, advising, writing, and education. He studied Political and Social Sciences at the Catholic University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands. In 1977 he obtained his doctorate in the Netherlands from the Rijksuniversiteit, the Royal University of Leiden, after defending his dissertation Een volk op weg, “A People in the Making”. The published version has become a standard reference: Een volk op weg; un pueblo na kaminda, a title that makes visible one of the realities of the Curaçaoan scholar: living in a foreign scholarly tradition while creating a more indigenous framework for understanding ourselves. The title is the original Dutch of the dissertation, and its Papiamentu translation. Whereas this work is seen as one of his strongest contributions to the sociology of Curaçao, his list of publications includes over 100 books, articles, and papers on Curaçao, the Netherlands Antilles, and Dutch Antillean relations
