It has two main objectives: first, to chronicle the movement of a&nbsp;group of enslaved persons of African ancestry to Crab Island, (contemporary Vieques,&nbsp;part of the US Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) during the second decade of the&nbsp;eighteenth century; second, to contemplate the roles that language change and language&nbsp;contact play in processes of identity formation.</p> ER -
