Strengths for Helping Professionals Exposed to Secondary Trauma: A Scoping Review
Helping professionals working with people who have experienced trauma are at risk of developing psychological distress. To date, most studies exploring psychological distress among helping professionals have focused on risk factors associated with the development of adverse reactions to secondary trauma, and few have identified strengths or protective factors, which may buffer and/or alleviate distress. Therefore, this scoping review uses the Res…
Biodiversity Performance of Living Wall Systems in Urban Environments: A UK Case Study of Plant Selection and Substrate Effects on Multi-Taxa Communities
Urban densification threatens biodiversity, yet conventional greenspace expansion is constrained by limited land availability. Living wall systems (LWS) offer potential biodiversity enhancement through vertical green infrastructure, though their ecological value remains underexplored. This study evaluated the biodiversity performance of three LWS in Plymouth, UK, using multi-taxa surveys to assess invertebrate communities, bird assemblages, and b…

Centering Slavery in the Age of Abolition: Insights from the Saint Lucia Register of Plantation Slaves, 1815
Scholars have used a range of sources, including oral histories, written accounts, and plantation inventories, to reconstruct the lives of people subjected to slavery in the Atlantic world. Yet in contested colonies such as Saint Lucia, the experiences of enslaved people remain little known. Attention to a seemingly static, bureaucratic document-the 1815 Register of Plantation Slaves-provides details about all 12,726 individuals who were enslaved…
An Insufficient Canon: The Popol Wuj, Book of Mormon, and Other Scriptures
As we sat in the cozy living room of his modest home in Antigua, Guatemala, in July 1993, an ecclesiastical authority from a local ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) declared his belief that the Popol Wuj (also called Pop Wuj and Popol Vuh)1 was one of the “other scriptures” that Jesus spoke about in the Book of Mormon (3 Ne 23:6). As an undergraduate student of anthropology at the University of Iowa, I had come to the …
Captives of Conquest: Slavery in the Early Modern Spanish Caribbean
This concise yet deeply researched volume joins a growing body of work that attends to the enslavement of Indigenous people in the colonial Americas. Distinguishing her book from studies of Indigenous slavery that focus on the North American mainland and that consider the period from the seventeenth century onward, Stone traces the enslavement of people native to the circum-Caribbean from the beginning of Spanish colonization in the 1490s until t…
The Creole Archipelago: Race and Borders in the Colonial Caribbean
In The Creole Archipelago , Tessa Murphy traces how generations of Indigenous Kalinagos, free and enslaved Africans, and settlers from a variety of European nations used maritime routes to forge social, economic, and informal political connections that spanned the eastern Caribbean. Focusing on a chain of volcanic islands, each one visible from the next, whose societies developed outside the sphere of European rule until the end of the Seven Year…
In a Sea of Empires: Networks and Crossings in the Revolutionary Caribbean
Using the Leeward Islands as a case study, Jeppe Mulich's In a Sea of Empires offers a new model for understanding late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century globalization. Focusing on the British Virgin Islands, the Danish Virgin Islands, and Swedish Saint Barthélemy as an example of what he terms an “inter-imperial microregion,” Mulich argues that the connections that people forged at the peripheries of European empires were “not an aberrant…
Kalinago Colonizers: Indigenous People and the Settlement of the Lesser Antilles
A Reassertion of Rights: Fedon’s Rebellion, Grenada, 1795-96
This article examines how the experience of being ruled by different Crowns shaped expectations for inclusion among francophone Catholic planters who became subjects of the British Empire after the Seven Years’ War. Attention to the evolving political economy of Grenada in the latter half of the eighteenth century reveals that this small Caribbean island was the site of significant debates over political, economic, and religious participation. Re…

Rejecting Racism in Any Form: Latter-day Saint Rhetoric, Religion, and Repatriation
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued an online statement in February 2012 rejecting all racism, in any form. The statement followed nearly two centuries of tortured struggles with racism promulgated by church leaders, instituted in everyday practices, and integrated into Latter-day Saint scriptures. While rhetoric renouncing racism from the LDS Church is a welcome step, religions need to compliment language undoing racism with c…

Genetic Research a "Galileo Event" for Mormons
Genetic research into Native American and Polynesian origins has provoked controversy within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Book of Mormon claims that the principal ancestors of the American Indians came from the ancient Middle East, an historical assertion now repudiated by mtDNA evidence. Mormon interpretations of the scripture led to the popular belief that Polynesians, likewise, descended from ancient Israelite populatio…

This study examines the interactions between an imported religious health code and local medicinal concepts among members of a Latter-day Saints congregation in Antigua, Guatemala. It challenges David Martin's assertion that if any of the rapidly growing religious groups originating in North America is engaged in the (North) Americanization of Latins, then the Mormons would be that group. Based upon ethnographic interviews with active and inactiv…
