Barbados. Introduction
For more than three centuries Barbados
was a British colony and retains
something of a British feel: the place names,
the cricket, horse-racing and polo, Anglican parish
churches, and even a hilly district known as Scotland.
But the Britishness is often exaggerated, for
this is a distinctly West Indian country, covered
by a patchwork of sugarcane fields and dotted
with rum shops, where calypso is the music of
choice and flying fish the favoured food.
