Caribbean Poetry: Barbados Poetry Places Culture Images ... Personal Any study of Caribbean literature should consider the context of the author's culture: it almost inevitably becomes a crucial focus in his or her writing, even if the author leaves for a mainland life. But the culture that feeds into Caribbean poetry (and literature) cannot be limited by the boundaries of the islands: a unique synthesis of histories create the Caribbean cultures. They are a creolization of the European colonial civilization, the original Amerindian populations, and the African slave population. To understand the significance and meaning of the poets' writings, scholars should ultimately trace back to the island that gave birth to the poet's sensibility. This web site attempts to provide the context needed to understand Caribbean poetry. Primarily, the site will focus on a study of Barbados and Barbadian (Bajan) culture. It will also provide information about the larger Caribbean sensibility that ties the islandsand their poetrytogether. Any comments, suggestions, or questions?

After you have written your key words, tell the word, and make a chart of them to hang in a central location of the classroom. This will make it clear that the word CULTURE does not have one solid meaning. It could be where your ancestors are from or the environment you have lived in. My point is that everyone has a CULTURE.

Damian Greaves left the island yesterday for Barbados to attend the tenth meeting of the forum of Ministers of Culture of Latin America and the Caribbean. The forum of ministers of culture and officials responsible for culture policy is an institutionalized body established for the purpose of working towards the cultural cooperation and cultural integration of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. The policy is meant to promote, mobilize and consolidate the resources of the member states for the cultural integration of the region. One of the principal strategies for achieving those goals is the breaking down of the language barriers. At the meeting, Caribbean ministers of culture will look at the future of the forum with a view to concretizing its role, function and structure. The meeting will also analyze Caribbean cultural policy issues. While in Barbados, the minister will engage in exploratory discussions towards the restructuring of the culture department and cultural programmes in St. Lucia.

iWon Travel Caribbean Barbados Powered by HISTORY and CULTURE History Culture History The original inhabitants of Barbados were Arawak Indians, who were driven off the island around 1200 AD by invading Carib Indians from Venezuela. The Caribs themselves abandoned Barbados around the time the first Europeans sailed into the region. Although the conditions of their departure are unclear, some historians believe the Spanish might have landed on Barbados in the early 1500s and taken some of the Caribs as slaves, prompting the rest of the tribe to flee to neighboring islands. Portuguese explorer Pedro a Campos stopped on Barbados in 1536 en route to Brazil. Though he had no interest in settling the island it's thought that he introduced pigs to Barbados with the intention of using them as a food source on return voyages. It was Campos who named the island Los Barbados ('the bearded ones'), presumably after the island's fig trees, whose long, hanging aerial roots have a beard-like resemblance. Captain John Powell landed on Barbados in 1625 and claimed the uninhabited island for England. Two years later, his brother Captain Henry Powell landed with a party of 80 settlers and 10 slaves. The group established the island's first European settlement, Jamestown, on the western coast at what is now Holetown. More settlers followed in their wake and by the end of 1628 the colony's population had grown to 2000. Within a few years the colonists had cleared much of the native forest and planted tobacco and cotton. They replanted their fields with sugar in the 1640s. To meet the labor demands of the new crop, planters, who had previously relied upon indentured servants, began to import large numbers of African slaves. Their estates, the first large sugar plantations in the Caribbean, proved immensely profitable, and by the mid-17th century the planters and merchants were thriving.

Home Search Site Map News ... Feedback Culture Language English is the official language of Barbados. Religion As a result of its long-standing association with England, Barbados is mainly Anglican. The Moravian and Methodist Churches were added to the list of denominations of the 18th century. Since then these have been followed by Roman Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, The Salvation Army and many other small religious groups. There are small groups of Hindus and Muslims, as well as a small Jewish community. These groups all have complete religious freedom. CULTURAL ORGANISATIONS An Act of Parliament, passed in March 1983, created the National Cultural Foundation (NCF). The Foundation is a Statutory Corporation which falls under the Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs and Culture. These groups all play their part in the promotion and development of creative arts in Barbados. FESTIVALS As part of its activities, the National Cultural Foundation (NCF) organises three annual national festivals — Crop Over, Congaline and the National Independence Festival of Creative Arts (NIFCA). It also assists in the staging of Holders Opera Season celebration, the Holetown Festival, B’dos Jazz festival and the Oistins Fish Festival. The Crop Over Festival A folk festival which originated on the sugar plantations, "Crop Over" was then, as it is now, a means of celebrating the end of a hard-working sugar cane season. The three-week festival runs from mid-July to early August. It is a lively showcase of all facets of Barbadian culture, a fluid blend of African survivals and western modernity. Activities include plantation fairs, a donkey-cart parade, a King and Queen of the Crop competition, street malls and the "Pic-o-de-Crop" Calypso Monarch competition.
