Caribbean Studies

Bridging Knowledges, Technologies, and Cultures in Latin America and the Caribbean

Readers who have an interest in the mapping of the Caribbean and its many islands will find it worthwhile to check out this new website with the disarming name: Windmills of St. Croix (https://www.stcroixwindmills.org/).  The site explores the history and function of windmills in sugar production on this island; more importantly for H-Maps members, it also lists and describes the more than 30 historic maps of the island, making it a useful addition to the carto-bibliography of the Caribbean.  Do have a look!

Now entering its twelfth season, the Smith’s Island Archaeology Field School has trained dozens of students in excavation and research methods and prepared them for graduate study and professional work. This unique program studies the early Modern Atlantic World from Bermuda - an island at its center – as we investigate two early 17th -century sites dating to the dawn of settlement. Students are involved in all aspects of fieldwork: excavation, artifact identification, documentary research, mapping, and photography.

Two co-editors of an upcoming book of essays about historic sites on the eve of America’s 250th anniversary seek submissions from heritage practitioners and humanities scholars to discuss inclusive, expansive, and reflective narratives of the Revolutionary Era (1750-1830).
