Barbados identity Buried in History


A House as Metaphor for Barbados. Barbados itself is a goods house of sorts-- a small island that declined to stay where the world attempted to place it. It got its identity and shifted it through centuries of upheaval:
• Amerindian origins
• English colonial rule
• African survival and reinvention
• The plantation age
• Emancipation.
• Migration.
• Education.
• Independence.
• Republic.
At every turn, the island adapted without losing itself. That is the goods house spirit.
Mobility without uprooting.
Strength without rigidity.
Identity that travels but does not fade.

A Project of Rogues in Paradise.
