| 520 | |a Two booklets provide an overview of the history and folklore of Cape Verde, a group of islands lying 370 miles off the west coast of Africa. One booklet describes the history of the islands which were probably settled initially by Africans from the west coast of Africa. By the 15th century the islands were colonized by Portuguese and other Europeans. The language, Crioulo, is a mixture of Portuguese vocabulary and African grammar. Geographical position was the main reason for settlement of Cape Verde: located near the African coast, with good winds and currents, the islands were an ideal stopping place for ships sailing between North America and Africa and Europe and South America. Salt and hand-woven cloth were exported from the islands, and in the 15th and 16th centuries slave trade provided another basis for commercial activity. Cape Verdeans came to America in the 17th century as slaves, and in later years others immigrated to New England to work in cranberry bogs. Cape Verde became independent of Portuguese rule in 1975. One of its most serious problems is recurring drought and famine. The booklet of folk tales contains five stories with the same characters: a foolish man, a clever boy, and an equally clever wolf. The folk tales seem appropriate for intermediate or junior high reading level. (AV) | ||
