	Lydia Cabrera and the Construction of an Afro-Cuban Cultural Identity, by Edna M. Rodríguez-Mangual. Introduction. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

		When the Commissioners of Customs expressed the view that "Newfoundland is not to be taken or accompted a plantation," they were implicitly questioning the legitimacy of settlement in a place "being under noe government or other regulation as all his Majesty's plantations are." Delicacy in diction thus reflected a political issue.
