Architecture and Empire in Jamaica
Upper Louisiana's French vernacular architecture in the greater Atlantic world
In this essay I re-examine the role of eighteenth-century upper-Mississippi Valley French communities in the wider circumatlantic world. Rather than relying primarily upon historical documentation, I focus upon patterns of historic vernacular architecture in the early Illinois Country settlements. How does the study of historic architecture enhance and expand our understanding of cultural processes and the significant ties between remote communit…
Shotgun: The Most Contested House in America
ShotgunThe Most Contested House in America Jay D. Edwards (bio) Known by a variety of names in Louisiana, the shotgun house was first formally named by Fred B. Kniffen in his 1936 article on Louisiana house types.1 Since the pioneering work of John Michael Vlach in the 1970s, the shotgun house in New Orleans has functioned as a bellwether of political commitment to entire subcultures, including their associated social and racial predispositions. …

Conversation in a West Indian taxi: An Ethnolinguistic Analysis
This paper examines the stylistic use of language by West Indian men. A verbal duel is explored and related to an opposition between two West Indian value systems. The concept of 'vertical code switching', such as in diglossia, is found to be inadequate to account for the verbal behavior. More significant is a type of 'horizontal' switching which involves phonological and suprasegmental features. (Multilingualism, creole languages, code and style…
