What did you learn?
Festival every first Monday and Friday, influenced by British,
African, Indian, French, Dutch culture
Top 50 countries that is financially stable, 82% of land
used for cash crops, brought slaves in for bananas, population slowly
decreasing, people don’t leave their families until late in life when they can
support themselves financially
Debt paying for the slave revolt, didn’t finish paying until
~1947
History of corrupt leaders, aids in how much Haiti struggles
now 97% of proceeds to Haiti went to administrative fees
Grenada called Spice Island because of the amount of exports
it does, Number 2 exporter of nutmeg in the world, main religion in Roman
Catholicism , Americans led the revolution in the 1970’s, American’s came in to
stop communism and start democracy
Serious pollution problem on the beaches which is affecting
their tourism, poor people live in tents and can’t afford proper sanitation so
they dump trash outside of their tent, dumping trash in large areas (man-made
landfills)
Dominicans don’t feel as though they are of black descent
What would you have
liked to learn?
Origin of the festival, more of the history, how you
actually play cricket, why is the pollution problem so bad in Dominica compared
to other countries like America? Is it less developed?
What should
presenters not do?
Less use of space fillers, read directly from the slide,
mumble at the end of a sentence when they aren’t confident in what they’re
saying
