indigenous Africans turn on their people and follow or do whatever the master commanded; even if it meant whipping and killing one of their own, like what Noble did to Kuta. In the reading “Race and Color in the Caribbean” by Hoetink the author also describes the “white power” exemplified in the Caribbean. Hoetink displays this through stating, “These multiple influences were reflected in a local conceptualization in which physical traits ranged from ‘dark’ to ‘light,’ different ‘types’ of which…

Cuba Vacations By ross micheal Aug 1, 2011 Cuba is a unique country and therefore a vacation destination like no other. The political situation for the last fifty years has made the island one of the few places in the world without mass marketing and mass media. It is a place which can confound and delight in equal measure and well worth a visit before things change. Havana has a lot to offer tourists; the architecture in particular is an attraction which has developed over five centuries of…

I will start off how Equiano’s life experiences show what is happening…

vacation. My family and I go on cruises through the Caribbean every year. It is one of my favorite vacations because of the many activities available and the different places you can see. Even though we enjoy cruises very much, we always seem to complain about the scheduled dinner and show times. We often miss the six- o'clock dinner time because we like to make our own schedule on vacations, instead of always having a deadline to stick to. Caribbean vacations by land or sea, give you the…

The common thread in all of the situations described is slavery. The Triangle Trade sent rum to Africa to buy slaves which were then sent to The Caribbean to work the sugar plantations making more sugar and molasses which were then sent to New England to make more rum and the cycle begins again, although roughly 80% of the manufactured rum remained in the states and were bought and drank by locals…

The aspects of life and society revealed in the plays ‘ Moon on a Rainbow Shawl’ by Errol john, ‘Chippy’ by Samuel Hillary and ‘ Man better Man’ by Errol Hill attest to the reality of the Caribbean setting. It is a Caribbean thing; we understand it, we live it. This is the "between the lines" motto that each play in its own descriptive dramatized essence reveals to its audience. Unapologetic, in its delivery of the social and political systems, the mindset of like individuals and consequences…
