August days in Eindhoven, with countless short rain showers.


young Everett and Mother, Anna
Everett Smith was born Dec. 12, 1914 and grew up with the gentle waves of Jamaica Bay on an island one mile long and barely four blocks wide. This was the tight-knit community of Broad Channel, New York. He resided with his mother, Anna at peaceful 207 East 9th Road and spent his days between school, working and helping to care for his grandmother.
Everett’s nickname had always been “Smitty” and so, the name of his fishing station came to be. In 1939, at 24 years of age, he married a woman named Catherine and she joined the Smith household.
News of Hitler and his rise to power filtered into the newspapers and radio, but Anna still had the memories of WWI and their financial struggles in what would be become known as the Great Depression…

Savitri hummed the ancient Bengali lullaby – “Khoka ghumalo, para juralo, Bargi elo deshe. Bulbulite dhan kheyechhe, khazna debo kishe?(My boy has fallen asleep, silence has set in the locality, the Bargis have come to our state. Passerine songbirds have eaten the rice grains, how shall I pay my taxes?)
She was trying to make her two-year-old son fall asleep at the backseat of their 1950 Ambassador Landmaster, a family heirloom of a car that her husband Umesh would not ditch for anything in the world.
From the mid-1700s, nearly every Bengali mother has sung this cradlesong to make her child asleep, and Savitri had a habit of doing the same wherever it may be, at home, in a hotel, or even in the back seat of the family car.
It was 3:00 AM on a cold winter December night in 1990, a few days before Christmas. A…

Mire esta película de 2 minutos y 27 segundos que muestra momentos de la vida Yanomami en el Amazonas, Venezuela y la obra de arte “La escultura de fuego” ardiendo a orillas del río Orinoco para protestar por la continua destrucción de la selva tropical y la degradación de las vidas de los indígenas:
¡NO a la destrucción por el Arco Minero del Orinoco por Maduro de las tierras indígenas de Venezuela!

The Dutch East India Company (DEIC) shipped hundreds of thousands of African and Asian slaves within the Indian Ocean world throughout the 17th and 18th centuries (Allen, 2014). These slaves were purchased and transported to work at several DEIC settlements such as; the centre of operations at Batavia (Jakarta), the strategic commercial emporia like Malacca, the agricultural estates established in the Spice Islands of eastern Indonesia, the stations in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and the settlement at the Cape of Good Hope (South Africa) (Allen, 2014). By setting up the settlement at the Cape, the DEIC had established a new node which previously had no connection to the Indian Ocean world (Mbeki, 2018). This new node, the Cape, became linked to the East African coast by way of trade, especially in people, South and Southeast Asia as a part of the Dutch trading empire. The Dutch Indian Ocean slave trading system drew slave labour from 3 sub-regions that is; the westernmost, African course of East Africa, Madagascar, and the Mascarene Islands (Mauritius and Reunion); the middle, South Asian course of the Indian subcontinent (Malabar, Coromandel, and the Bengal/Arakan coast); and the easternmost, Southeast Asian course of Malaysia, Indonesia, New Guinea (Irian Jaya), and the southern Philippines (Vink, 2003: 139; Allen, 2014).
Violence
Even so, there were numerous individual acts of defiance and during the early 19th century, there were 2 uprisings. Further, because male slaves outnumbered their owners, violence was the main tool used by slave owners to maintain order and control. The DEIC’s response to slave challenges to its authority often included impalements, branding, flogging, and disfiguration (McKenna, 2011). Dutch farmers also employed violence against their slaves and sometimes the punishment meted out would be so fierce that it would lead to death (Shell, 1992). While this section of the piece has only focused on the violence inflicted upon Cape slaves, it’s important to note that the Dutch were known for bringing about fierce violence in an attempt to maintain their rule wherever they settled.
