Caribtrails

Caribtrails The study of the Caribbean archaeological record and the transdisciplinary research conducted by the ERC-Synergy project NEXUS1492 (2013-2019) led by CPI Prof.

Through comparative research with regions that have similar colonial histories, CaribTRAILS aims to place indigenous Caribbean pre- and post-colonial history in a global perspective. The indigenous Amerindian past of the Caribbean region is hidden in a vulnerable soil, which is under constant threat of natural disasters, climate change, looting and illegal trade, economic pressures, tourist develo

pment, and a lack of heritage awareness. Insufficient effective legislation for the protection of heritage in many of the islands leads to the destruction of archaeological heritage and the loss of knowledge about a crucial episode in global history: the unwritten history of the indigenous Amerindian inhabitants, whose descendants were the first to come eye to eye with European colonizers in the America’s. Until recently, the transformations and responses of indigenous Amerindian societies to changing natural, cultural, social, economic, and political environments triggered by European invasion and colonialism were largely unknown. Corinne L. Hofman, has provided fresh insights into these infamous histories by uncovering the indigenous perspectives hitherto overshadowed by dominant Eurocentric viewpoints. The CaribTRAILS project, which is funded by the NWO Spinoza prize awarded to Prof. Hofman in 2014, continues on this important work at the KITLV. The project thereby aims to contribute to the debate on decolonization practices; human rights of indigenous peoples and the governance of climate change; the confrontation between ethnic groups, cultures, and religions; and issues related to changing social relations, inter-cultural dialogue, social cohesion, and diversity in an increasingly globalized world.
