They explore the foundational impact of the Court Interpreters Act of 1978, the influence of early conference interpreting standards, and the challenges interpreters face in maintaining ethical practices while ensuring fair due process.

In 1717, the Council of Trade and Plantations received "agreeable news" from New England. "Bellamy with his ship and Company" had perished on the shoals of Cape Cod. Who was this Bellamy and why did his demise please the government? Born Samuel Bellamy circa 1689, he was a pirate who operated off the coast of New England and throughout the Caribbean. Later known as "Black Sam," or the "Prince of Pirates," Bellamy became one of the wealthiest pirates in the Atlantic world before his untimely death. For the next two centuries, Bellamy faded into obscurity until, in 1984, he became newsworthy again with the discovery of his wrecked pirate ship. In Daring Exploits of Pirate Black Sam Bellamy: From Cape Cod to the Caribbean (The History Press, 2023), historian Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall unveils the tragic life of Bellamy and the complex relationship between piracy and the colonial New England coast. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In Lecture 6 at the Jamaica Theological Seminary, we continue to explore Caribbean History but as part of the American American experience and the Pan-African experience. We picked up from Lecture 5 sharing a voice-over lecture where Renaldo interact and narrates a material about Caribbean History and DNA. The Lecture then explored the comparative differences between the Caribbean islands and began to discuss the independence and freedoms of black peoples in the Caribbean and the diaspora as an experience that connects the post-colonial peoples in the new world. We utilized a video which features C.L.R James a West Indian mind that has contributed to critical history of the Caribbean and the Haitian Revolution. We touched on Latin Caribbean and the Cuban Revolution, and the civil rights leaders connections to the Caribbean and their experience. The class continues next week. The end is just the beginning.

Semester 2, 2024 at The Jamaica Theological Seminary: This week, we begin to loosely develop an outline of Caribbean History leading to its invention and beyond. We had already laid the foundation discussing the importance of going as far back as to Homer where Western civilization's foundations of knowledge begins. The Caribbean as part of the New World and the Americas was reinvented with the coming of the Europeans who were looking an opportunity to dominate and extract wealth in the race to be the leading European country. 1. -1492-3 - Columbus- knowledge religion people wealth  -Ulterior motive: gold/profit/greed/international competition capital - British Take-over -Slave trade The Lecture then moved into the main presentation responding to the question: Have We Misunderstood Our History? “Redefining a people so as to misclassify their identity and conceal their heritage is tantamount to genocide”   If strategy is employed that continues the dynamics today, that had once characterized the transatlantic slave trade, then a re-examination of Jamaica's identity and heritage is warranted, specifically in relation to the Tainoe people, who were the original inhabitants of our land. While acknowledging the presence of East Indians and Chinese who arrived during the era of indentured labor after the abolition of slavery in 1865, the majority of the population, comprising individuals with black or brown skin, is believed to have African ancestry following the eradication of the Arawak Indians by the Spanish. This sets Jamaica apart from other Spanish-occupied West Indian islands like Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, and Suriname, which retained a small native Indian population despite the Spanish invasion. Jamaica's history documents the replacement of the native population with African slaves brought there by the Spanish. After the English defeated the Spanish in 1655, Jamaica became a significant port for the slave trade and sugar exportation. However, there is limited information available regarding the slaves and individuals whom the Spanish had freed following their defeat. It is uncertain whether the small group of people who served the Spanish during their rule were of African or Indian origin, as the extensive trade of Africans to the island did not occur before 1655. Nonetheless, those who were freed by the Spanish sought refuge in the mountains and established Maroon communities that persist to this day. Were these the original Indians? Have we misunderstood our history?[1] Jamaica's identity extends beyond ethnicity; we encompass a diverse range of people united as one. However, it is undeniable that the majority of our population has a predominant African heritage, stemming from the era of the slave trade. The Urban Indian Heritage Society is currently challenging this narrative by presenting compelling research and data which suggest that Jamaicans have a rich history connected to the native Indians of the island.[2] They argue that genealogical research reveals an urban American Indian root in Jamaica, providing an alternative perspective to our historical understanding. Listen to the over 2 hour Lecture with added music and sounds to enhance your listening experience at our pleasure. The Lecture was delivered on Friday February the 9th 2024 at the Jamaica Theological Seminary via Zoom to students in the Caribbean Thought Semester 2 course. The course includes a research paper and final exam that the students will take in order to meet the requirements of graduation. The course is a 2200 level course. The Lecture is delivered by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary, Author of "Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance," and the upcoming book: Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations, co-authored by Professor Emeritus, Dr. Martin Oppenheimer.

Introduction: In a thought-provoking lecture at Jamaica Theological Seminary in Caribbean Thought, the exploration of Caribbean history from a subaltern perspective took center stage. The aim was to trace and revisit the currents and works that have shaped the Caribbean region since the seminal publication of "Arawaks to Africans" by Robert Green and S. Hamber in 1979. This lecture not only presented an outline of influential Caribbean works and thinkers but also delved into their influences, emphasizing the profound impact they have had on the development of Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and the interpretation of its history. Questioning Narratives: Greenwood's Accounts and European Influence: The lecture began by questioning the accounts put forth by Robert Greenwood in "Arawaks to Africans." Greenwood's narrative, which seemingly portrays the Taino people as disconnected from Africans and their presence in the Caribbean, raised concerns about the influence of European history and philosophy on his interpretation of history. It challenged the notion that the Taino people had been completely wiped out and dismissed any connection they might have had with Africans. A Skeptical Outlook and Critical Re-examination: The lecture urged attendees to critically examine Greenwood's accounts and approach them with a skeptical mindset. It emphasized the need to reassess our understanding of history to reinvent ourselves in the 21st century. By challenging prevailing narratives, we can uncover hidden connections, untold stories, and alternative perspectives that offer a more comprehensive understanding of Caribbean history and its people. Influential Caribbean Works and Thinkers: The lecture also provided an illuminating list of Caribbean works and thinkers whose contributions have shaped the region and influenced its trajectory. By exploring these influential voices, the lecture aimed to shed light on the rich intellectual heritage that has been instrumental in defining Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and historical interpretation. The expanded information about their influences served as a testament to their enduring impact and relevance. The Importance of Reconnecting with History: Revisiting Caribbean history from a subaltern perspective is vital for the Caribbean community's self-reinvention and progress. By reevaluating and critically analyzing the narratives that have shaped our understanding of the past, we can challenge dominant paradigms and empower marginalized voices. Only through this reconnection with history can we forge a stronger, more inclusive identity that embraces the complexities of our shared heritage. Conclusion: The lecture on the subaltern view of Caribbean history provided a compelling platform to reexamine the region's past. By critically questioning established narratives, particularly those influenced by European history and philosophy, attendees were encouraged to challenge prevailing assumptions and explore alternative perspectives. The outlined list of influential Caribbean works and thinkers showcased the profound impact these voices have had on shaping Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and historical interpretation. Ultimately, this lecture highlighted the importance of critically reevaluating our history to reinvent ourselves in the 21st century and forge a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of the Caribbean's rich cultural tapestry.

Do you know the meaning behind the phrase "Chay Lee Chee Nee"? It is a phrase that changed the course of history for many Indians who were recruited, coerced, or tricked into signing Indentured Contracts. They were seen as a suitable replacement for Chattel Slavery: a population that could be easily controlled and manipulated to work tirelessly in the Sugar Plantations across the Caribbean. Many were promised easy money and a better life, but the truth was far from it. With little to no education or experience beyond their North Indian villages, many were led to believe that they were headed to the promised land. But in reality, many had unknowingly signed away their freedom. The phrase "Chay Lee Chee Nee" represents the beginning of a harsh journey for our ancestors that we must never forget. So join us as we celebrate the resilience and perseverance of the Indo-Caribbean community in Episode 3 of the Peppa Pot: Chay Lee Chee Nee!   Follow and connect with The Peppa Pot Podcast online, we'd love to hear from you!

Did you know that between 1834 and 1917, more than one million Coolies were taken across the Kala Pani, or Dark Waters, to the plantations of Malaya, Mauritius, Fiji, Trinidad, British Guiana, Jamaica, and British Honduras? In “Coolie Woman: the Odyssey of Indenture,” Gaiutra Bahadur describes how the British and other Colonial Powers transformed generations of skilled Indians into an “indistinguishable mass of plantation laborers.” Part of that transformation took part during the journey from India to the Caribbean which, for many, was unimaginably excruciating. In fact, poor ventilation, outbreaks of disease, and a lack of food was common aboard the ships used to transport Indentured Indians. When they reached their destination, they were met with a hostile and unfamiliar environment and forced to work long hours for low wages. But despite all odds, they persevered and laid a foundation that future generations would build on.

Recorded on March 6, 2023 at UC Berkeley's Social Science Matrix, this "Authors Meet Critics" panel focused on Cooperating with the Colossus: A Social and Political History of US Military Bases in World War II Latin America, by Rebecca Herman, Assistant Professor of History at UC Berkeley. The recording also features a response by Julio Moreno, Professor of History at the University of San Francisco, and and José Juan Pérez Meléndez, Assistant Professor in Latin American and Caribbean History at UC Davis, and a Bridging the Divides Fellow at the Center for Puerto Rican Studies in Hunter College. Elena Schneider, Associate Professor in the UC Berkeley Department of History, moderated. This panel was co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Department of History. About the Book During the Second World War, the United States built over two hundred defense installations on sovereign soil in Latin America in the name of cooperation in hemisphere defense. Predictably, it proved to be a fraught affair. Despite widespread acclaim for Pan-American unity with the Allied cause, defense construction incited local conflicts that belied the wartime rhetoric of fraternity and equality. "Cooperating with the Colossus" reconstructs the history of US basing in World War II Latin America, from the elegant chambers of the American foreign ministries to the cantinas, courtrooms, plazas, and brothels surrounding US defense sites. Foregrounding the wartime experiences of Brazil, Cuba, and Panama, the book considers how Latin American leaders and diplomats used basing rights as bargaining chips to advance their nation-building agendas with US resources, while limiting overreach by the “Colossus of the North” as best they could. Yet conflicts on the ground over labor rights, discrimination, sex, and criminal jurisdiction routinely threatened the peace. Steeped in conflict, the story of wartime basing certainly departs from the celebratory triumphalism commonly associated with this period in US-Latin American relations, but this book does not wholly upend the conventional account of wartime cooperation. Rather, the history of basing distills a central tension that has infused regional affairs since a wave of independence movements first transformed the Americas into a society of nations: national sovereignty and international cooperation may seem like harmonious concepts in principle, but they are difficult to reconcile in practice. Drawing on archival research in five countries, "Cooperating with the Colossus" is a revealing history told at the local, national, and international levels of how World War II transformed power and politics in the Americas in enduring ways.

In the bonus episode, of Strictly Facts: A Guide to Caribbean History and Culture, we're doing an episode swap with Carry on Friends: The Caribbean American Podcast. In this episode, Keisha and Ashley are American-born with strong Jamaican family ties and discuss how their identities motivated them to obtain their Jamaican citizenship. They dive into what inspired them to consider dual citizenship. Ashley explains that while she didn't need validation from getting her Jamaican citizenship, it is an opportunity that exists and she chose to take advantage of it. She also encourages others to explore this option.We also touch on dual citizenship for children. Keisha, who has applied for Jamaican citizenship for both her daughter and herself, shares that Jamaica feels like a second home and she wants her daughter to feel the same way through having official Jamaican citizenship.Additionally, they speak about the application process for Jamaican citizenship. Due to COVID, the process has been delayed so those considering this option should manage expectations, and ensure that they have all the details and documents they need to avoid delays. The process is relatively simple and Ashley's platform provides resources to help guide those interested in dual citizenship. While this conversation mainly focused on Jamaican citizenship, it can and should be extended to all other Caribbean countries. It's a privilege to have dual citizenship and we should take advantage of it.Mentioned in this episode:American Born, Caribbean RaisedReimagining the American DreamWatch Ashley's video on Dual CitizenshipConnect with Ashley:  Instagram | Twitter | Website Connect with Keisha: Instagram | WebsiteConnect with Strictly Facts -  Instagram | Facebook | TwitterLooking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

Last year, when Chris Strikes, a Jamaican Canadian Toronto-based filmmaker and award-winning music video creator, read about the “patty wars” that took place in Toronto in 1985, he thought the story was absurd. Then he decided to research the story and found that it did happen in February — 37 years ago — when federal food inspectors deemed Jamaican beef patties did not match the technical definition of "beef patty" under the Meat Inspection Act.They thought Canadians would confuse the beef patty with the hamburger patty. A “patty summit” was held involving local Toronto businesses selling Jamaican patties, Jamaica's consul general and Canadian bureaucrats. It resulted in a victory for the businesses, some of which were selling Jamaican patties from the 1960s, and the lovers of Jamaican patties.A celebration was held on February 23, 1985. The issue made it onto the front page of The Sunday Gleaner and at the centre of it was Jamaican Michael Davidson, manager of Kensington Patty Palace that was established by his parents in the late 1970s. Chris Strikes was born on February 23, 1986 — exactly one year after the “patty wars” ended.As Jamaica gets ready to celebrate its 60th anniversary of independence, he thought it was important to produce a documentary, “Patty vs. Patty,” about the resilience of Jamaicans in this fight. Strikes talks about this with Impacting Jamaica host Neil Armstrong in this new episode of the podcast series. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

(9/10/21) In 1961, at the height of the Cold War, the United States severed diplomatic relations with Cuba. For over five decades, the standoff continued before Barack Obama normalized relations with the island in 2014 only to have the policy reversed by his predecessor. In her new book Cuba: An American History, historian and the Julius Silver Professor of History and Latin American and Caribbean History at New York University Ada Ferrer examines the island's past and its relationship with the United States. Join us for a look at the last 500 years of Cuban history and what it can tell us about the future of diplomacy between the two nations in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.

A respected authority on 19th- and 20th-century Latin American and Caribbean History as well as a past Director at Chatham House, Victor Bulmer‑Thomas, CMG, OBE provides the reader with a most unusual survey and view of the United States as an ‘empire' in his book: Empire in Retreat: the Past, Present and Future of the United States (Yale University Press, 2018).  From its territorial conquests after its foundation, through its acquisition of hegemonic rule after 1945, to its current imperial ‘retreat', the United States, Bulmer-Thomas argues has had a difficult relationship with the idea of itself as an ‘empire'. In this novel argument, Bulmer‑Thomas offers three definitions of empire—'territorial, informal, and institutional' that he contends explains America's past, present and he argues for a future in which the United States will no longer play an imperial role. Something that Bulmer-Thomas states does not necessarily mean national decline and may indeed ultimately strengthen the American nation‑state. At this crucial time in American history, Bulmer‑Thomas's uniquely unorthodox perspective will be sure to garner wide attention from those looking for unusual perspectives on American history. Charles Coutinho holds a doctorate in history from New York University. Where he studied with Tony Judt, Stewart Stehlin and McGeorge Bundy. His Ph. D. dissertation was on Anglo-American relations in the run-up to the Suez Crisis of 1956. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

For the first time in nearly 60 years, a Castro is no longer Cuba's head of state. Raul Castro, who took the reins from his brother Fidel in 2008, officially stepped down last week making way for Miguel Diaz-Canal. Host Dan Loney speaks with Lillian Guerra, Professor of Cuban & Caribbean History at the University of Florida, Richard Gioioso, Director of Latin American Studies Program at Saint Joseph's University, and Gustavo Arnavat, Senior Adviser for the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former Obama Administration official who represented the US at the Inter-American Development Bank, to discuss this political change for Cuba on Knowledge@Wharton.

"Your consciousness can come from anywhere. but the point is, it needs to come urgently." — Asha Rodney An Interview with Asha Rodney, scholar-activist, lawyer, and youngest child of Walter Rodney. Asha discusses the assassination of her father by the hands of an immensely repressive Guyanese government in 1980, describes what a "groundings" session is, and gives us suggestions for how to implement her father's work and legacy in our organizing today. Asha Rodney, along with the rest of the Rodney family, has spent many years seeking justice for the assassination of her father, the revolutionary Walter Rodney. Walter Rodney was assassinated in 1980 by an explosive device which was hidden in a walkie-talkie, provided to him by Gregory Smith who was later revealed to have been an operative for the Guyanese government. Asha covers not only meticulous details of her father's assassination, but describes the political climate and context in which it occurred: an incredibly repressive, western-backed regime eliminating and outlawing all forms of dissent. Along with covering the assassination, Asha also teaches us about the process of investigation surrounding the assassination; the decades it took to have an official commission of inquiry into Walter's murder, the hundreds of Guyanese people who testified for the commission of inquiry, how incredibly damning the results of the investigation are, and just how hard the Guyanese government has tried to suppress this information. Finally, Asha brings this fight for justice to the current day and discusses why the commission of inquiry, as well as Walter Rodney's assassination, are very important for activists and organizers around the world. We then discuss the 'groundings' concept, and putting Walter's theories into practice.

Head of the Department of History and Archaeology at the UWI Mona & Professor of Caribbean History, Professor Matthew J. Smith discusses the political challenges facing the relief effort in Haiti

Dr. Ada Ferrer, Associate Professor of Latin American and Caribbean History at New York University, shares her research which centers on the intellectual, political and social effects of the Haitian Revolution in Cuba and the Atlantic World.

This episode features Michelle Chase, who joins us to discuss her fascinating new book, Revolution Within the Revolution: Women and Gender Politics in Cuba, 1952-1962 (University of North Carolina Press, 2015). The book is a rich and nuanced history of women's participation in the movements of resistance that began in the immediate aftermath of Fulgencio Batista's coup d'etat in 1952—resistance that culminated in the overthrow of Batista in the Cuban revolution of 1959. Eschewing both official top-down narratives of women's liberation as well as anti-communist accounts of women's cooptation, Revolution Within the Revolution demonstrates that women's activism and leadership was critical at every stage of the revolutionary process. It also centers urban activism in the years leading up to the Cuban Revolution, and reveals how focusing on the city changes our understanding of how the Revolution evolved and triumphed. What's more, the book is also a history of how notions of gender roles in Cuba at midcentury—questions of marriage and family, of masculinity and femininity—were both defined by and came to define the revolutionary moment, dialectically shaping the strategy of both revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries, men and women alike.

This episode features Michelle Chase, who joins us to discuss her fascinating new book, Revolution Within the Revolution: Women and Gender Politics in Cuba, 1952-1962 (University of North Carolina Press, 2015). The book is a rich and nuanced history of women’s participation in the movements of resistance that began in the immediate aftermath of Fulgencio Batista’s coup d’etat in 1952—resistance that culminated in the overthrow of Batista in the Cuban revolution of 1959. Eschewing both official top-down narratives of women’s liberation as well as anti-communist accounts of women’s cooptation, Revolution Within the Revolution demonstrates that women’s activism and leadership was critical at every stage of the revolutionary process. It also centers urban activism in the years leading up to the Cuban Revolution, and reveals how focusing on the city changes our understanding of how the Revolution evolved and triumphed.

International Storytelling Conference (2012), Godfrey Duncan, African Caribbean History through the Art of the Spoken Word

Out of many, One! We are a rich people, culturally diverse, but geographically, unified. Historically, through Colonialism, Paternalism and Imperialism, we have amassed a beautifully complex, but painful story. Who better to tell our "Truths", but you and me, US! And as living "documents", we have a duty and a right to pass on our stories, to our children, in hopes of sharing our mutual struggles and joys, so they can pass it on to their children, building a strong foundation of our past, as we dance on into our future! This show is dedicated to the complex, but compelling stories of our lives, as Caribbean people! As a Jamaican, while living and traveling around the world, I learned first hand that our Culture, Food, Music, History and Spirit inspires people from many facets of life. However, the Poverty, Violence, Political, Historical and Overly sexualize and Misogynistic images, has also given room for criticism. This is what we, you and me, need to talk about. Let's learn, inspire, challenge and celebrate all of who are as Caribbean people.

Europeans came into contact with the Caribbean after Columbus's momentous journeys in 1492, 1496 and 1498. Europe cease the opportunity to expand their territories and began settlements and trade in many of the Caribbean Islands.. The indigenous peoples, found on these Islands were believed to be  mostly peaceful Tainos and warlike Caribs. These original inhabitance were unsuitable for slave labour in the newly formed plantations, and they were quickly and brutally decimated. The descendants of this once thriving community can now only be found in Guiana and Trinidad.

Lillian Guerra, Assistant Professor of Caribbean History, discusses inequality and dissolution of the basic services of Cuba's socioeconomic system over the past 50 years, arguing the rise in the underground services from private schools to restaurants and stores has replaced the deficiencies of state run agencies.
