Caribbean History

The Caribbean is rich with a colorful history and interesting past. We now introduce a new category with Caribbean history overviews of 28 different nations.

Discovered by Columbus and colonized by the Europeans, read how these countries overcame periods of adversity to enjoy independence and prosperity.

Caribbean Carnival

Caribbean carnival and celebrations start this year in Trinidad and end with Junkanoo in the Bahamas. We have articles on Caribbean carnival and plan on providing more festival coverage.

Carnival is a very important and exciting part of our culture with the colorful masquerade bands, energizing music, and mouth watering food.

Which carnival will you be attending this year? Don't miss out!

Future Releases

Our team is working hard these days to complete the new category on Caribbean politics. Most of the islands follow the political structure of the English, French, and Dutch due to European colonization.

Some of the islands gained independence while the others remained European territories.

Cuba on the other hand is a communist country that dances to the beat of its own drums. I think you'll find Caribbean politics very interesting. I know I did! Look for these new articles in the next few weeks.
