讲座内容:
This presentation focuses on brief snapshots of the Caribbean Story, and uses Dominica, one of the Caribbean islands to do so. The presentation will briefly touch on some of the more popular Amerindian tribes, often considered the indigenous people of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as, how European contact with the New World in the fifteenth century caused a decline in the Amerindian population who were eventually wiped out, but a rise in the African population as a result of need for a free labour force—slaves, to work on the economically prosperous sugar and coffee plantations. Slavery in the British West Indies was abolished, leaving islands like Dominica to forge a way forward, into new, independent economies driven by sectors such as Agriculture, Tourism, and new diplomatic friendships, as with the People’s Republic of China.
