Book Synopsis When Architecture Tells the Story by : Ulla Lunn
Download or read book When Architecture Tells the Story written by Ulla Lunn and published by Historika. This book was released on 2019-01-19 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1917, the Danish West Indies were sold to the United States, but traces of the often violent history shared by Denmark and the islands can be seen everywhere. The built environment and the landscape culture on the islands are globally unique. The towns, the forts, the hundreds of plantation ruins, the many churches and school buildings, and the landscape of the US Virgin Islands in its entirety constitute a monument to the age of slavery, an age in which Danes were colonial masters and, for better or worse, created a lasting legacy in the West Indies. These features serve as reminders of a time when the modern society of the US Virgin Islands began to take shape.0'When architecture tells the story' describes a large number of localities typical of the architecture and landscapes of the former Danish West Indies. At the same time, these places are important points of access to understanding the history of the islands and the people who populated them, including the masons who built the forts, the architects behind the city plans and the schools, the cartographers, the officials of the Danish West India?Guinea Company and the government, the plantation owners, the enslaved, and the free colored carpenters.

Book Synopsis Indian Indenture in the Danish West Indies, 1863-1873 by : Lomarsh Roopnarine
Download or read book Indian Indenture in the Danish West Indies, 1863-1873 written by Lomarsh Roopnarine and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive analysis of Denmark’s solitary experiment with Indian indentured labor on St. Croix during the second half of the nineteenth century. The book focuses on the recruitment, transportation, plantation labor, re-indenture, repatriation, remittances and abolition of Indian indentured experience on the island. In doing so, Roopnarine has produced a compelling narrative on Indian indenture. The laborers challenged and responded accordingly to their daily indentured existence using their cultural strengths to cohere and co-exist in a planter-dominated environment. Laborers had to create opportunities for themselves using their homeland customs without losing the focus that someday they would return home. Indentured Indians understood that the plantation system would not be flexible to them but rather they had to be flexible to plantation system. Roopnarine’s concise analysis has moved Indian indenture from the margin to mainstream not only in the historiography of the Danish West Indies, but also in the wider Caribbean where Indians were indentured.
