Florida Studies

Аннотация. Было проведено актуальное исследование, решившее один из вопросов  в современной науке и образовании. Необходимость исследования была вызвана отсутствием в учебниках Всеобщей Истории в странах СНГ информации о многочисленных народах, населяющих Флориду в «доиспанский» (XVI век) и «досеминолький» (XVIII) периоды. В результате исследований были разработаны карты, показывающие приблизительное расселение индейских племен в XVI веке в пределах территории нынешнего штата Флорида, который был частью огромной территории Испанской Флориды, которая существовала «де-юре» с 1513 года, а фактически не была освоена. В течение XVIII веке почти все народы, жившие во Флориде исчезли большей частью в результате индейских и европейских войн, болезней и других факторов. Однако последние из них исчезли после тотального уничтожения их вторгшимися племенами Криков, Семинолов, Ямаси и других индейских племен, которые в дальнейшем расселились по обезлюдившим  территориям Флориды.

William N. Morgan (1930-2016) was a Florida architect who specialized in modern architecture, particularly that adapted to the geography and climate of Florida. Morgan had studied under Walter Gropius and Jose Luis Sert at Harvard (MArch '58) after serving in the US Navy in the 1950s.  He was an avid student of the prehistoric architecture of the Americas and the Pacific and wrote several books on the subject.  He died on January 18, 2016.

This paper is the summary that I prepared of an interview with Morgan that my colleague, Jeffrey Jensen, and I conducted on behalf of the US General Services Administration's Public Building Service in 2011 on the topic of his design for the United States Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale in 1976 and which was completed in 1979.

John Sayles is one of America’s most successful independent filmmakers, whose works include Return of the Secaucus Seven (1980), City of Hope (1991), and Lone Star (1996). This article examines Sayles’ portrait of place in Sunshine State (2002), a film set in Plantation Island, Florida, where large-scale corporate development is transforming two communities—one black, the other white—into upscale winter resorts. Sayles’ film probes the place experience of some sixteen vividly drawn characters and illuminates how the same physical place, for different individuals and groups, can evoke a broad spectrum of situations, meanings, and potential futures. One of Sayles’ conclusions is that people cannot escape the place in which they find themselves. They can, however, learn from that place and thereby decide whether and in what ways they will offer that place commitment or not.

This Article will examine the international sugar trade industry and the implementation of sustainable development practices to improve labor standards, establish fair trade, and enhance energy efficiency, as well as explore the impetus for corporate social responsibility. The international sugar trade is a colossal industry that has been operating for centuries. Sugar as a commodity is a major player in the agricultural sector, and the price of sugar impacts international markets from Europe to Asia and down into Latin America.

If the international sugar trade industry were to alter its farming, labor, and business practices, tremendous improvement of social, economic, and environmental conditions would be possible. Despite the volatility of the price of sugar, innovation in agricultural and corporate techniques in the international sugar trade would serve as the launching pad for new and sustainable development practices.

This abstract only covers my 1990/91 research-Many area residents believe that the sinkholes in Alligator Lake leak year-round. This is of concern because it is believed that this leakage pollutes the groundwater. The bottom of the lake contains at least five sinkholes. I have looked at three of them.
Very early observations indicated leakage in two. One of those sinkholes was leaking very rapidly because a stream, which was feeding it was not filling the hole.
Heavy rains began shortly after I began measurements. Since that time, my measurements indicate that all three sinkholes serve to fill Alligator Lake.
I have been unsuccessful in finding anyone who has previously measured sinkhole leakage in a lake. I believe that my procedures can be used by future scientists to make such measurements.
My procedure basically consists of inserting a pipe into the sinkhole area in such a way that lake water cannot refill the pipe as water leaks into the sinkhole. Leakage from this pipe is assumed to be representative of leakage from some portion of the sinkhole.

After the U.S. Civil War, plentiful and varied natural resources, combined with a sizeable, multicultural population influx, led to the increased development of the lumber, fishing, citrus and cattle industries in the Tampa Bay area, on the Gulf coast of Florida. These industries all had the Cuban market in common, but different segments of society concentrated on different industries, with varying outcomes. White native Tampans, with a few notable exceptions, made the fewest
economic gains during the era, which to some degree leveled the playing field going into the Gilded Age, thereby making the Tampa Bay area relatively unique within the former Confederacy.

En su 'Relación' (1542, 1555) --también conocida como 'Naufragios'--, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca relata que los indios avavares y mariames le contaron “una cosa muy extraña”: la historia de un brujo pequeño, barbado, misterioso, extranjero y travesti que espantaba a los indios y los sometía a intervenciones médico-mágicas. Este relato constituye—allende su clasificación como ficticio, mítico o etnográfico—una historia de terror sobre la conquista a partir de la cual podemos desleer la Relación. Pese a la diferenciación entre Mala Cosa y Cabeza de Vaca que gran parte de la crítica asume, y que la propia Relación propone, Mala Cosa no es el Otro (brujo, trampista y maléfico) del humanitario “buen conquistador” cristiano, sino la terrorífica figura que devela su extrañeza y encubierta violencia colonial. El relato indígena inicialmente parece emplazar al conquistador y conjurar su malignidad, invitando al forastero temible a hacerse curandero. Por otra parte—dadas las coincidencias recurrentes entre el relato de Mala Cosa y las subsiguientes performances de Cabeza de Vaca y sus compañeros—esta narración parece haber proveído a los cristianos signos y modelos de comportamiento que éstos habrían aplicado repetidamente en sus procedimientos médicos y en sus despliegues de intimidación mágica de los indígenas.

Although physically part of North America, peninsular Florida extends southward into the Caribbean. This geographic proximity resulted in a reciprocal relationship with Cuba that long transcended geopolitical borders. Much of the peninsula was also socioeconomically tied to the continent, but the Tampa Bay area was not. Rather, a number of variables delayed its Americanization and southernization until the beginning of the twentieth century.
Initially, the Tampa Bay area was a Caribbean periphery. Its original inhabitants came from the Caribbean and maintained a maritime lifestyle. After the Columbian Exchange and subsequent warfare led to their extinction, southeastern Amerindians moved in and made adaptive shifts, including establishing strong relationships with Hispanics in Cuba and at fishing ranchos along the Gulf coast. Although both the Spanish and the British intruded in local affairs, they were unable to break these ties. With the formation of the United States, the Tampa Bay area soon became a borderland caught between competing cultural hearths—American and Caribbean.
White Americans grew increasingly frustrated over Florida’s status as a refuge for fugitive slaves, who established a community in the Tampa Bay area and began trading with Cuba. Florida’s Amerindians, then known collectively as Seminoles, began harboring these fugitives and incorporating them into their society. In response, the United States took possession of Florida in 1821 and removed the Seminoles from all but the southernmost peninsula. Hispanics, allowed to remain in the Tampa Bay area, maintained and even strengthened its Caribbean connection. White rural Crackers largely filled the void left by the Seminoles, selling cattle to the Cuban market. Southern planters also moved to the area but achieved little economic success. As a result, slavery failed to establish an adequate foothold, and the Bay area remained a diverse cultural frontier for the remainder of the antebellum period.
The Civil War and the subsequent Union naval blockade of Florida temporarily disrupted the Cuban cattle trade, but Bay area residents turned to blockade running to the Caribbean as a means of survival. During Reconstruction, Cuba served as an economic lifeline for the Tampa Bay area, providing an eager market for local lumber, seafood, and cattle.
The Bay area remained largely isolated from the United States until the 1880s, when the “Plant System” connected Tampa to the South via the railroad and the Caribbean via steamships. This transportation network opened the area to development and created economic opportunities that led to a multicultural population boom. Cubans and black Americans moved to the area, finding employment. Whites became a minority, which delayed the implementation of Jim Crow segregation until after the Spanish-American War, when the Tampa Bay area embraced the New South trinity of industrialization, racial segregation, and Lost Cause mythology. The southernized white civic elite then rewrote the area’s history, nearly erasing its multicultural past. Despite their efforts, Tampa’s sizeable and economically influential Hispanic population infused the city with an undeniable Latin character, making it unique within the American South.

This essay for the third documenta 14 issue of South as a State of Mind explores the links between ecocide, genocide, settler colonialism and capitalist modernity, and proposes that a reconsideration of the ethico-politics of place opens possible new alliances between Indigenous knowledge, critical theory and art.

A map of the Florida Keys that appears to date to the 1730’s is found in the Archivo General de Indias, Seville. Analysis of the chart reveals much about the wrecked New Spain fleet of 1733, and the geographical knowledge of the island chain in the Spanish Colonial period.

This article reports on findings from the 2008-2009 oral history project, “Puerto Ricans in Central Florida 1940s to 1980s: A History.” To set a course for research on cultural identification in Central Florida, the article maps out the historic trajectories that have brought Puerto Ricans to Central Florida and historicizes the development of Puerto Rican spaces in Central Florida. Puerto Ricans in Central Florida have moved from these different trajectories into a geographic space marked by historic emphases on self-reliance and free enterprise, an area where “development” and “neoliberalism” have meant the same thing. Pulling together these diverse threads, both geographic and historical, this article proposes further research to be done to address the question of how Puerto Rican experience is redrawing Central Florida, and how Central Florida is redrawing Puerto Rican experience.

The dynamics of cultural identification are always saturated with the past. Individual and collective memories impinge upon meanings given to the new social and cultural formations that emerge with shifting political and economic realities. Puerto Ricans now constitute the majority Latin population in much of Florida, but especially in Central Florida. The article explores the different racial memories that Puerto Ricans bring to Orlando from Puerto Rico and from northern diasporic communities. It then looks at how the black-white racial binary of Orlando history has affected how Puerto Ricans have been received and how they have used historical racial discourses to create a space for themselves in the social, political, and economic worlds of Orlando.

How our historic sites are interpreted often reflects more about the interpreters than about the past.  The Pinellas Point Mound in St. Petersburg, Florida is an interesting case study in how historic sites have been interpreted in ways that perpetuate myths and memorialize the dominant society.

Critics have missed the music of Seraph on the Suwanee. In response, this paper listens to the music of Zora Neale Hurston’s final novel through the ears of Alejo Carpentier. Although Carpentier published Concierto barroco (1974) twenty-six years after Hurston’s Seraph on the Suwanee (1948), the later novel offers a new reading of American music that changes how readers view the earlier work, in part because Concierto barroco creates an understanding of music in a Caribbean context that suffuses both novels. Although unknown to each other, musical and anthropological interests connect these coeval literary figures. Most compellingly, the trope of music in Hurston’s fictive work puts her musical rhetoric in conversation with Carpentier. In Music, the Brain, and Ecstasy: How Music Captures Our Imagi- nation, Robert Jourdain (1997) discusses the rare ability to create music in one’s mind, a characteristic evident in the protagonists of both of the novels under discussion. Together, this paper ultimately argues, Hurston and Carpentier make beautiful music.

This article questions what is different and what is not about Puerto Rican political identifications and practices in 21st-century diaspora, as this is emerging in non-traditional destinations, especially the U.S. Southeast. There, Puerto Ricans from Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans from long-established diaspora communities in the U.S. North encounter each other in spaces that are new to both. The article describes Puerto Rican heterogeneity in Orlando, Florida, and points to the importance of examining the intersection of this heterogeneity with the historically constructed specifics of Orlando’s social field. It uses the case of one extended Puerto Rican family in Orlando to provoke deeper examination of new dimensions in Puerto Rican Studies.

In 1990, historian Canter Brown, Jr., published an account of an escape slave community in southern Tampa Bay, a community destroyed in 1821 called Angola. In 2004, an interdisciplinary research team began Looking for Angola with public outreach. Educational programs, ethnographic research, and archival investigations led to archaeological excavations. Maroon communities, by their nature, are difficult to locate with precision. This paper describes the debates over the existence of Angola, its location, and the nature of the community. The successful results of archaeological investigations on the Manatee River suggest the first traces of the haven for freedom have been found.

The United States has a long history of denying minorities their right to vote―of practicing racially-motivated disenfranchisement. In early 2011, Florida Governor Rick Scott continued this tradition by issuing an executive order permanently denying convicted felons their right to vote, unless they petition for executive clemency after a five-year waiting period following the completion of their sentences. These new procedures are a step backward for Florida to previous policies that disproportionately disenfranchised African- Americans. Actions like Governor Scott’s demonstrate why the Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965, most recently re-authorized in 2006, is still needed to prevent racially discriminatory voting practices.

This article argues that Florida’s executive re-enfranchisement policies contravene the Voting Rights Act and should be nullified. A review of felon disenfranchisement in the United States and Florida, the VRA’s basic mechan- ics, and Florida’s recent challenge to the Act’s constitutionality will help make this clear. The VRA continues to be a constitutional exercise of congressional power that requires Florida to seek pre-clearance for changes to felon disen- franchisement procedures under Section 5 of the Act, and would likely forbid the proposed changes under either a purposeful discrimination or disparate impact analysis under Section 2 of the Act. The article concludes that Florida must submit its proposed changes for pre-clearance, and that if it fails to do so, the U.S. Justice Department should act to prevent the implementation of arguably the harshest felon disenfranchisement procedures in the nation.

This tour of the freedom-seeking people focuses on the early 19th
century Florida Gulf Coast; some of the locations are hidden in plain sight. The settlements were along major rivers entering the Gulf of Mexico, places where archaeological research has recovered and even reconstructed the landscapes of freedom. In one of those heritage sites, diasporic people have returned to celebrate on the ground their ancestors found liberty. The evidence for this early 19th-century history is fragmentary and in the process of being organized, analyzed, and disseminated. Traveling across the contemporary landscape, the places can be missed. But the result of noticing this robust heritage animates understandings of history beneath our feet as we travel down the Florida peninsula.

The Venice Train Depot is a case study for an archaeology of transportation, an examination of new places and more rapid travels over the modern period. The goal of this approach is to capture the dynamics of landscapes, agency, and movement. There have been productive discussions of transportation networks and national integration; methodological discussions have noted the need to account of the movement of things in the analysis of the material record. The case study exposes the dynamics of change for the Florida frontier in the twentieth century focused on the construction of a railroad line and station in Venice, Florida.

Abstract
We choose this investigation as part of my larger investigative work about the Christianization of Florida in sixteenth-seventeenth centuries. This work light very short and very important moment births and death French Florida (“La Floride Française”), which existed from 1562 to 1565 years. This period left a very deep mark on world history. We open the chain very interesting and connecting events that took place in different parts of the World: Spanish Florida, West-India, English, France, Spain, Italy. Also, we analyzed the actions of France, English during the Religion Wars in Europe, and their preparing which were connected with wishes of Frenchmen and English to reach Spanish Florida and close the ways the route Spanish ships. We have found the roots of the events that allowed the beginning of the raids of English pirates Drake in the New World.
Also, we traced the first raids of John Hawking - Francis Drake with the aims for contraband trade and to find the settlements of France on the territories of North America. We found the connection between French Jean Ribault and the Queen's intention to reach America in 1563. The practical and theoretical significance this work is big because it led to an understanding of the events scattered across different countries, which caused the secret actions and backstage games of France, England, and Spain, this led to the understanding of events scattered across different countries, which caused the secret actions and backstage games of France, England and Spain, as a result of which it became possible the hegemony of Spain on the territory of Spanish Florida, and France and England failed to cut the shipping routes for Spanish ships between America and Europe. But these same events triggered the rapid development of piracy and illegal trade by England and France in West India, New Spain, Terra Nova, and Spanish Florida. The paper shows how faith and patriotism could show how patriotism and faith can conflict and change the vector of action at the state level.
Also, we show the intelligence activities England to identify routes for further capture of parts of modern North America and establish its protectorate.
