  • Mutual Misunderstanding Of Maya And Spaniard In Yucatan Summary

    1208 Words  | 3 Pages

    This metaphor reflects language barriers, and misunderstandings of cultural norms, religion and caste roles. Misunderstandings occurred on both Maya and Spanish issues. Both the Spanish and the inhabitants of the Yucatan struggled with their own perceptions and misunderstandings of the other. Colonization brought about multiple realities and distorted self images. These struggles are clearly shown in the sources Clendinnen uses, and the result of these misunderstandings was violence: Spaniard against Indian, Catholic against pagan, Catholic against conquistador, and Crown against settlers. The ambivalence of, and the resistance to, the Episcopal Inquisition and Spanish conquest can be associated to this mutual

  • The Cajun and Creole Culture of Lousiana

    1204 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Cajuns are considered to be descendants of Acadian exiles who live mostly within the state of Louisiana. The French colonized the region of Acadia which is now Nova Scotia and the Acadians were the French colonists who lived in the area. However there were also English colonists in the area and the groups didn’t get along well. The French lost Nova Scotia to the British in a war which led to the Treaty of Utrecht (signed in 1713) which formally named Acadia as a British territory (Dormon, 39). The treaty forced the Acadians to swear an oath of allegiance to the British crown which they refused because this would require them to renounce their Catholic religion for that of the Anglican church, because of this the likelihood of another war with the French was high. The Acadians refusal to swear an oath to the British caused the British to order a deportation of the Acadians who then fled with whatever they could carry. In 1784, the King of Spain consented to allowing the Acadians to settle in Southern Louisiana. However when the Acadians arrived they had some issues with the French aristocracy who didn’t rea...

  • The Influence of Toussaint Louverture on American Abolitionists

    2900 Words  | 6 Pages

    With the advancement in irrigation technology by French engineers and the increase in the popularity of sugar, the French colony of Saint Domingue became one of the worlds largest sugar producers. With sugar came problems for the many enslaved Africans that were forced to provide manual labor for the colony's sugar harvesting efforts. Oppression, violence, inequality (of a caste-like system), and many other hardships led to hard feelings between the Africans and their white masters, the French. (Talk about here that the slaves in america were facing the same type of thing that was happening in Haiti but with cotton rather than with sugar) With such exploitation of the African slaves, which constituted a majority of the population, the white population, hiding behind the facade of physical violence to maintain control, feared a slave rebellion. Their fears were quickly given life when Toussaint Louverture took control of the slaves and led the most successful slave uprising in history. The American Civil War, much like the Haitian Revolution, consisted of oppression, violence, and inequality towards slaves. Toussaint Louverture’s bold display of leadership during the Haitian Revolution influenced antebellum America, especially abolitionist leaders such as John Brown to fight for the abolitionist cause.

  • Evolution of Slavery: The Impact of Atlantic Creoles

    536 Words  | 2 Pages

    Often times, they were used as mediators in the trade. “Many served as intermediaries, employing their linguistic skills and their familiarity with the Atlantic's diverse commercial practices, cultural conventions, and diplomatic etiquette to mediate between African merchants and European sea captains. In so doing, some Atlantic creoles identified with their ancestral homeland (or a portion of it)-be it African, European, or American-and served as its representatives in negotiations with others.” To an extent, this exonerates the responsibility of white enslavers. The creoles had helped to create the Atlantic slave trade. They were knowledgeable in the trade business, which gave them the upper hand in the situation. It also complicates the responsibility of the white slave owners. “Slaveholders learned that slaves' ability to negotiate with the diverse populace of seventeenth-century North America was as valuable as their labor, perhaps more so.” The white enslavers used the creoles to their advantage by using the creole’s knowledge as a crutch in the slave

  • The Effects of the Hatian Revolution of Modern Hati

    524 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the main causes of the Haitian revolution was the social inequality in Haitian society. Slaves made up the vast majority of the population, who were oppressed on a daily basis in the most unprotected ways. They were also deprived economically in a system that produced great wealth. Because of this the abolition of slavery and the social inequalities these slaves received had to get fixed. St. Domingue was about 90 percent slave which made this issue inevitable on the focus of the revolution. During this time political disorder in the colony started to begin with class tensions among the whi...

Archaeological evidence suggests that Teotihuacan was an important religious center which was devoted to the worship of a Great Mother Goddess and her consort the Plumed Serpent. The Plumed Serpent god Kukulkan (also known as Gucamatz) was the most popular deity among the Maya. Like many of the cities which now lie in ruin throughout the southern Americas, Teotihuacan was abandoned sometime around 900 CE.

  • Caribbean Creoles In The Caribbean

    813 Words  | 2 Pages

    All islands in the Caribbean share a similar colonial history which has caused creolization of languages, communities and culture. These creole language function as symbols of identity to those that are mainly of African and indigenous decent. This research paper written by Diana Ursulin Mopsus of the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras, entitled, “The Attitudes Toward Caribbean Creoles of European Descended Communities in Martinique and St. Croix” has the Caribbean as its target audience. The research problem proposed is, what are the attitudes of propertied European descended people towards Caribbean creoles, in particular, toward Martinican and Crucian. This research is important to the Caribbean because in order to gain a fuller understanding of the sociolinguistic situation of the Caribbean, the attitudes toward creole of propertied descendants of early European settlers who were born and raised in Martinique and St. Croix, must be analysed. In order to determine that the research paper is trustworthy; techniques and methods used must be critically analysed, using the research process as a guide.
