Resumen de Migration, transmission et maintien du patrimoine immatériel
The history of the Caribbean and of all the Americas over the past 500 years is the history of migrations of diverse arrivants into lands inhabited time out of mind by Native Americans. The result is a range of narratives by descendants from such diverse places of origin as Europe, West Africa, Asia (India and China) and the Levantine. The narratives turn in large measure for millions on the intangible heritages only parts of which are in the public domain. Much else reside in the myths, folk philosophies, oral traditions, religious rituals, traditional medicine, festival arts and such other products of the collective creative imagination as music, dance and literature. The text gives an insight on these oral expressions in a purely Caribbean setting. TOP
