Ending Slavery In Cabo Verde: Between Manumission And Emancipation, 1856-1876, Lumumba H. Shabaka

Journal of Cape Verdean Studies

This article explores the ending of slavery in Cabo Verde by using the Committee of Protection of Slaves and Freed-person. Rather than just following the directives from Lisbon, it shows that local leaders were reluctant to establish the institution and cautiously approached the abolition of slavery in the colony. Nevertheless, enslaved Africans and their descendants fully exploited the new laws to gain nominal freedom. Like other parts of the Atlantic world, being freed was a state between manumission and emancipation, because there were struggles over payments, ‘rights’ for the manumitted individuals and mandatory seven years services were required by law.

There are only two different occurances in modernity: solid modernity and liquid modernity. Solid Modernity operates to create logic of order, categorization and administration.

Elitizados, Dinâmicas De Transformação Da Moderna Elite Política Administrativa Cabo-Verdiana, Crisanto Barros

Journal of Cape Verdean Studies

Diversos estudos sobre dinâmicas de configuração das elites políticas na África subsariana (Daloz, 1999; Daloz e Chabal, 1999; Augé, 2005) e no leste europeu (Bauquet, 2006) tendem a enfatizar processos de reprodução da velha elite política que se recicla e se renova no interior de sistemas políticos formalmente competitivos graças à sua capacidade de reconversão o seu capital político em capital económico e vice-versa. Outras vezes, procura-se evidenciar processos de formação de elites em que o Partido e o Estado desempenham um papel preponderante na emergência de novas elites com alguma dimensão de artificialidade (Farmer, 1999).

D'Nos Manera - Gender, Collective Identity And Leadership In The Cape Verdean Community In The United States, Terza Alice Silva Lima-Neves

The levels of intensity with which these organizations operate have shifted over time based on the realities of the host country and the homeland. As a labor diaspora, it will take the Cape Verdean community in the US several generations to shift from labor to skilled diaspora. This study argues that three factors impact the progress of …

“Free Men Name Themselves”: U.S. Cape Verdeans & Black Identity Politics In The Era Of Revolutions, 1955-75, Aminah Pilgrim

Journal of Cape Verdean Studies

Contrary to widely held assumptions about Cape Verdean immigrants in the US – based on oral folklore and early historiography - the population was never "confused" about their collective identity. Individuals and groups of Cape Verdeans wrestled with US racial ideology just as they struggled to make new lives for themselves and their families abroad. The men and women confronted African-American or "black" identity politics from the moment of their arrivals upon these shores, and chose very deliberate strategies for building community, re-inventing their lives and creating pathways for survival and resistance. One exceptional tool for providing others with a …

Cabo Verde: Do Babel Inicial À Emergência De Uma Ordem Linguística, Manuel Veiga

Journal of Cape Verdean Studies

O contacto de línguas, em Cabo Verde, evoluiu de um babel inicial, para a emergência de um crioulo, estruturalmente uno, mas com actualizações regionais e matizes fonéticas, morfológicas, lexicais e sintácticas que enriquecem a nossa língua materna, sem comprometer a sua "superior unidade".

As diferenças são devedoras de factores como: as línguas matrizes originárias; o peso demográfico dessas línguas; o aparecimento cedo de mestiços e do crioulo como respectiva língua materna; a tolerância linguística imposta pelas circunstâncias (número reduzido de dominadores brancos; a iliteracia prevalecente; a Carta Régia de 1472 que impunha o comercio escravocrata com "novidades da terra"; a …
