Abstract:
Although it ranks behind West Germany and England in the number of firms operating in the state, Japan’s 44 North Carolina companies account for nearly one-third of the new foreign investment in the state in the last six years. Since 1980, the Japanese have announced the creation of 2,284 jobs in North Carolina. At least 18 of the 44 companies were involved in manufacturing or assembly, the remainder in research and development, sales, service, and distribution.

Abstract:
Following the American Revolution, defeated Loyalists fled to the remote corner of Abaco in The Bahamas. Since then, the descendants of those Loyalists have maintained a population that is racially, culturally, and politically distinct from the other twenty-nine populated islands that make up The Bahamas. The Abaco population more closely resembles isolated communities on Ocracoke and Harkers Island, where the population still speaks with a brogue, resembling the tongue spoken by the earliest Scot-Irish settlers.
