Introduction
The islands of the Cape Verde archipelago are windy, hilly and dry - almost lunar - and fairly sleepy. But there's beauty in them thar parched hills. And some of the islands are actually lush. There's good diving and hiking, lively nightlife and plenty of quiet corners to hide away in. Islanders mix up African, Portuguese, Mediterranean and Latin influences and come out with a flavour that's distinctly 'Cabo'. Package tourism has gained a foothold, but Cape Verde is still independent and unspoiled, the perfect place to pretend that your real life doesn't exist. Full country name: Republic of Cape Verde Area: 4,030 sq km Population: Capital City: Praia People: Creole (mulatto) 71%, African 28%, European 1% Language: Portuguese Religion: Roman Catholic (infused with indigenous beliefs), Protestant Government: republic Head of State: President Pedro Pires Head of Government: Prime Minister Jose Maria Neves

The Cape Verde Islands, a small West African country, composed of ten volcanic islands and five islets off the coast of Senegal. Introduction For more than 400 years, Portugal claimed the rocky, arid islands of Cape Verde. This long history of colonial rule permanently affected Cape Verdean culture, making the small country seem distinct from other African nations - "more European." But such a view ignores the shared ancestries and political struggles that link the islands to the mainland. Cape Verde is home to a population descended from free people and West African slaves as well as a diverse mix of peoples: Fula, Wolof, Papeis, Balanta, Bijago, Jalofa, Fulupe, Mandingo, Manjaco, Portuguese, Moroccan, Sephardic Jewish, Genoese, Lebanese, Chinese, Dutch, French, English, American, and Brazilian. The children of these settlers and passers-by forged a hybrid culture and language known as Crioulo (Portuguese for Creole), drawing upon the legacies brought to the islands by slavery and colonialism.
Portuguese Colonization and Slave Trade
The expansion of the slave trade across the Atlantic Ocean in the sixteenth century soon brought business and settlement to Cape Verde. Portugal made the islands its headquarters for its holdings on the Upper Guinea Coast, and by the sixteenth century was also using the region as a penal colony for convicts and political exiles. The islands were originally governed by the companhia system, a sort of feudal system in which individuals or the church oversaw small plantations where slaves, brought from mainland West Africa, cultivated cotton, sugar cane, and food crops. Early Cape Verdean society enjoyed considerable autonomy from the Portuguese monarchy, making it an attractive base to generations of traders and smugglers.

JEWS IN CAPE VERDE AND ON THE
GUINEA COAST
by Richard Lobban
Paper presented at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth
11 February 1996
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND IN PORTUGAL
In Iberia the Reconquista movement was growing in its mission to recover their lands from the Muslim Moors who had first arrived in the 8th century. Jews may have first arrived far earlier during the time of the Phonecians and Roman. Nevertheless, Maghrebi Jews were key allies of the Moors and centuries-long residents of Iberia. Probably as early as 1480 one may find the beginnings of the Spanish Inquisition and expulsion of Jews. It was however in 1492 the the Spanish Inquisition emerged in its fullest expression of intolerance, anti-Semitism. This social pathology quickly spread to neighboring Portugal where Portuguese Kings Joao II and especially Manuel I in 1496, determined to exile thousands of Jews to Sao Tome, Principe, and Cape Verde. The numbers expelled at this time were so great that the term Portuguese" almost implied those of Jewish origin. Those who were not expelled were converted by force or were even executed.
Despite the important role of Portuguese Jews in commerce, navigational sciences, and in the cartography of Africa, they faced riots, pogroms, and profound oppression during the

Cape Verde Introduction Back to Top Cape Verde (republic), republic comprising the Cape Verde Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean, due west of the westernmost point of Africa, Cape Verde. The archipelago consists of ten islands and five islets, which are divided into windward and leeward groups. The windward, or Barlavento, group on the north includes Santo Antão, São Vicente, São Nicolau, Santa Luzia, Sal, and Boa Vista; the leeward, or Sotavento, group on the south includes São Tiago, Brava, Fogo, and Maio. Cape Verde has a total area of 4,033 sq km (1,557 sq mi). Official Name -Republic of Cape Verde

14 districts (concelhos, singular - concelho); Boa Vista, Brava, Fogo, Maio, Paul, Praia, Porto Novo, Ribeira Grande, Sal, Santa Catarina, Santa Cruz, Sao Nicolau, Sao Vicente, Tarrafal; note - there may be a new administrative structure of 16 districts (Boa Vista, Brava, Maio, Mosteiros, Paul, Praia, Porto Novo, Ribeira Grande, Sal, Santa Catarina, Santa Cruz, Sao Domingos, Sao Nicolau, Sao Filipe, Sao Vicente, Tarrafal). Cape Verde People Back to Top More than two-thirds of the islands' population is Creole (mulatto), and the remainder are European and black African. Apart from Portuguese (the language used on formal occasions and for most written material), the inhabitants speak a Portuguese dialect called Crioulo. Most of the population is officially Roman Catholic, but a flourishing Protestant mission based in São Tiago has a church and schools on most of the islands. Many animist customs are still preserved. About three-fifths of Cape Verde's population is younger than 20 years of age. Many older inhabitants emigrate to seek work abroad, mostly in Europe, especially Portugal, and in Venezuela and Brazil.

    At the cross-road of the three continents that border the Atlantic, there is an obligatory stop in the middle of the ocean, the Archipelago of Cabo Verde. Located 450 km off the coast of Senegal, it is composed of 10 islands and 8 islets. Of volcanic origin and positioned between parallels 15 and 17 of the North latitude, Cape Verde is made up of two distinctly different types of islands. Its six inhabited islands, located more to the West, are characterised by their mountainous landscapes, whereas the remaining three are distinguished by their long sandy beaches. The islands are divided into two groups named according to the trade windsthat reach them from the African Continent: windward and leeward.
    The first group consists of the islands of Santo Antão S.Vicente , Santa Luzia (disabitata), S.Nicolau Sal Boavista , and the second, more to theSouth, comprises the islands of Maio Santiago Fogo and Brava . The sun spreads its warmth the whole year round, soothed by the fresh seabreeze. The climate is tropical and dry.The average temperature is approximately 25°C and changes do not exceed10°C.

    The uninhabited volcanic islands were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese Bartolomeo Dias in the 15th century. Before the only visitors were Senegalese fishermen. The islands subsequently became a trading center for African slaves and later an important coaling and resupply stop for whaling and transatlantic shipping. Most Cape Verdeans have both African and Portuguese antecedents. Independence was achieved in 1975.

    HOME Cape Verde History and Culture Lying 240 nautical miles off the coast of West Africa, the tiny, drought stricken archipelago of ten islands remained in the backwaters of world history until l975 when the islands gained independence from Portugal. Uninhabited prior to discovery in l462 by the Portuguese, Cape Verdeans developed as a mix of Africans, Portuguese, and other European voyagers to the islands. This volcanic archipelago, bathed in dazzling natural colors and light, is a land of stark beauty-soaring mountains, desert terrain and endless beaches. Yet for Cape Verdeans these five hundred years also represent devastating cycles of drought, starvation and death where up to half the total population of the islands died.
    The connection between New England and the Cape Verde islands began in earnest after the American Revolution. Desperate for crews to work in the dangerous and low-paying whaling industry, whaling vessels from New Bedford and Nantucket regularly sailed to Cape Verde to pick up sailors. These early ties to New England made the United States the primary point of debarkation for Cape Verdeans. The trickle of immigration to New Bedford and New England in the early l800s turned into a flood at the turn of the century, as Cape Verdeans fled cycles of severe drought, starvation, perennial economic hardship and colonial neglect.
    They came across the Atlantic to New England on voyages lasting up to three months on packet ships of dubious seaworthiness, arriving in the ports of New Bedford, MA and Providence, RI, the oldest and largest Cape Verdean communities in America.

    Cultural traits of much interest are present in the everyday life of the made difficultby the drought, which is an omnipresent fact of life in cape verde.
    http://www.africatravelling.net/cape_verde/praia/praia_culture.htm
    Praia - Culture The culture of the Cape Verdian people reflects a symbiosis of five centuries of both European and African influences; this interlinkage is to be found in the various expressions of popular culture. Cultural traits of much interest are present in the everyday life of the population, in the manufacture of items of everyday use, and in customs associated with survival and leisure activities. The traditional objects, produced for common use and very much sought after by visitors, reflect an experience made difficult by the drought, which is an omnipresent fact of life in Cape Verde. Basketmaking using cane is highly diversified, with a variety of baskets for common and decorative use. Crafts of coconut shells also include decorative and utilitarian objects of great interest. Weaving, which won great honors in the 18th century, and cotton goods, in the traditional white and indigo blue. Also prized is the tapestry work produced on the island of Sao Vicente. The population benefits from a diet marked by diverse combinations of the traditional popular food productscorn, beans, sweet potato, cassava, fish, and various meatsenriched by the flavors of traditional liqueurs and sweets. The main traditional plate is the cachupa, widely consumed by the entire population, with various ingredients depending on the time of day and the customer's purchasing power. Music is an essential cultural expression of the life of Cape Verdian communities, an integral part of family and social celebrations, and of the popular festivals held in each island, in tribute to the patron saints, such as Sao JSm, with drums beat to exhaustion to mark the festival of the solstice (June 24). String instruments are widely used, such as the guitar, the viola, the cavaquinho, or small guitar, and the violin; drums and other percussion instruments are also quite popular.
