PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Caciques and Cemi Idols: The Web Spun by Taino Rulers Between Hispaniola and

Cemís are both portable artifacts and embodiments of persons or spirit which the Taínos and other natives of the Greater Antilles ca AD 10001550 regarded as numinous beings with supernatural or magic powers This volume takes a close look at the relationship between humans and other nonhuman beings that are imbued with cemí power specifically within the Taíno interisland cultural sphere encompassing Puerto Rico and Hispaniola The relationships address the important questions of identity and personhood of the cemí icons and their human owners and the implications of cemí giftgiving and gifttaking that sustains a complex web of relationships between caciques chiefs of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola Oliver provides a careful analysis of the four major forms of cemísthreepointed stones large stone heads stone collars and elbow stonesas well as face masks which provide an interesting contrast to the stone heads He finds evidence for his interpretation of human and cemí interactions from a critical review of 16thcentury Spanish ethnohistoric documents especially the Relación Acerca de las Antigüedades de los Indios written by Friar Ramón Pané in 14971498 under orders from Christopher Columbus Buttressed by examples of native resistance and syncretism the volume discusses the iconoclastic conflicts and the relationship between the icons and the human beings Focusing on this and on the various contexts in which the relationships were enacted Oliver reveals how the cemís were central to the exercise of native political power Such cemís were considered a direct threat to the hegemony of the Spanish conquerors as these potent objects were seen as allies in the native resistance to the onslaught of Christendom with its icons of saints and virgins .

A Contested Caribbean Indigeneity is an in-depth analysis of the debates surrounding Taíno/Boricua activism in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean diaspora in New York City. Drawing on in-depth ethnographic research, media analysis, and historical documents, the book explores the varied experiences and motivations of Taíno/Boricua activists as well as the alternative fonts of authority they draw on to claim what is commonly thought to be an extinct ethnic category. It explores the historical and interactional challenges involved in claiming membership in, what for many Puerto Ricans, is an impossible affiliation. In focusing on Taíno/Boricua activism, the books aims to identify a critical space from which to analyze and decolonize ethnoracial ideologies of Puerto Ricanness, issues of class and education, Puerto Rican nationalisms and colonialisms, as well as important questions regarding narrative, historical memory, and belonging.

Freshwater is critical to life throughout the Caribbean. Increasing global carbon emissions are projected to reduce average rainfall in this region by the end of the century, constraining freshwater availability, while extreme rainfall events, which can increase freshwater flooding impacts, are expected to increase in intensity. Saltwater intrusion associated with sea level rise will reduce the quantity and quality of freshwater in coastal aquifers. Increasing variability in rainfall events and increasing temperatures will likely alter the distribution of ecological life zones and exacerbate existing problems in water management, planning, and infrastructure capacity..
