Early Modern Diplomacy

Cape Verde's small population considered “white” was in turn divided into Portuguese-born officials and into those born locally, who the metropolitan #Portuguese derisively referred to as brancos da terra, and degredados, soldiers and civilians exiled for criminal or political reasons. The latter categories could include those of black #African and mixed descent, since in the Lusophone world “whiteness” was determined by political and economic power and by the ability to exhibit European cultural markers. Next to these “whites” there was a group of often mixed-race pardos, both free and enslaved. The lowest category, pretos, was made up of blacks who could be enslaved or freed, converts to Christianity and born on the islands or from numerous societies in western #Africa. By the end of the 17th c. at the latest, the Cape Verde islands had developed a distinct Creole identity. (2/7)

Early Modern Diplomacy

Perhaps you are a longing for a #SilentSunday, in this case this week’s #BlackHistory #emdiplomacy take offers you a relaxing weekend read:

Today we focus on #CapeVerde which were discovered by the #Portuguese in the middle of the 15th c. In 1466 the islands received trading rights in West #Africa. Cape Verde provided a stopover on the transatlantic slave trading route. Moreover, plantations were established there. However, #earlymodern Cabo Verdean society was decidedly mixed. (1/7)

Today is International Mother Language Day (#IMLD) — a worldwide annual observance held on February 21 to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and to encourage #multilingualism.

I grew up in a monolingual #Spanish-speaking household but was exposed to #English and the #Galician variety of #Portuguese at an early age. Upon moving to Barcelona as a teenager, I adopted #Catalan.

The fact that I majored in #Translation may not come as a surprise.

How many languages do you speak?

Renata 🌈 Autistic Translator

Hi! Renata here. I'm a Brazilian English-Portuguese (and Portuguese-English) translator based in the Greater Rio de Janeiro area. I'm autistic, and my brand new goal in life is to work with more neurodivergent business owners. I specialize in audiovisual content and health & wellness, and I've been at it since 2017. This is my account to talk biz, sometimes in all seriousness, at times not. If you're a neurodivergent entrepreneur, I'd love to connect 😍

I also haven’t changed my opinion of #Portuguese as sounding like a dangerously drunk French person trying to speak Spanish with a heavily slurred voice.

I’m good at languages! I speak a fair amount of both French and Spanish! And I listen to recordings over and over in which there are no breaks between words, and which are frequently missing syllables.

In 2008, when I wrote A Christmas Peril, the scenario it described, of the melting of the north pole, seemed comfortably distant. But today it feels scarily close.

A fusion of A Christmas Carol and The Night Before Christmas, this poem was intended as a timely, cautionary tale about Climate. Also, a foot in the door to discuss Climate Change with family and friends.

A few sample lines are shown here, but you need to click through to the full poem to see the rest, which is available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and which has audio readings in each of those.

Please read, discuss and share with family and friends! Perhaps make it part of your holiday festivities.

But to my horror, slung over his back, weren’t presents but coal brimming out of his sack. Nor was it the clean kind, or some such confusion. He was angry, you see, there could be no illusion. “You’re killing the planet,” he said with a frown, “It’s time you got busy and turned that around.” He fussed and he fretted. He was loaded for bear— Not that any were left, I thought with a scare. from the poem "A Christmas Peril", copyright 2008, 2019 by Kent M. Pitman, https://nhplace.com/kent

@joel that is very unfortunate.

I'm sorry for people in your situation – French (fr) (progress: 1%), and the six other languages that are at, or below, one percent.
