Barbados Colourful Wooden Houses
A House as Metaphor for Barbados. Barbados itself is a chattel house of sorts-- a little island that declined to remain where the world attempted to position it. It picked up its identity and moved it through centuries of turmoil:
• 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 effects home spirit.
Movement without uprooting.
Strength without rigidness.
Identity that takes a trip however does not fade.
Originated from the True Story Rogues in Paradise.
