It examines the way in which the West Indian Community of Nevis, has, since the 1600s, incorporated both African and European cultural elements into the framework of social life, to create an Afro-Caribbean culture that was distinctive and yet geographically unbounded - a ""global culture"". The book takes as its point of departure the processes of cultural interaction and reflectivity. It argues that the study of cultural continuity should be guided by the notion oStudies in anthropology and history ;v. 8.AnthropologySaint Kitts and NevisNevisNevisCivilizationNevisRace relationsElectronic books.Anthropology972.973Olwig Karen Fog1948,982651FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910348239403321Global culture, island identity2242588UNINA01707cam a22002418i 450099100429943840753620240327140555.0231206s2020 nyu b 001 0 eng 9781108485647Bibl.

In that sense, the objective may be considered as a generalization of methods of structural and rigid body analysis. Many mechanical and structural systems such as vehicles, space structures, robotics, mechanisms, and aircraft consist of interconnected components that undergo large translational and rotational displacements. Figure 1.1 shows examples of such systems that can be modeled as multibody systems. In general, a multibody system is defined to be a collection of subsystems called bodies, components, or substructures. The motion of the subsystems is kinematically constrained because of different types of joints, and each subsystem or component may undergo large translations and rotational displacements"--Provided by publisherDynamicsMultibody systems991004299438407536Dynamics of multibody systems333941UNISALENTO
