The Arrival of East Indians in the Caribbean – By Dr. Dhanpaul Narine

Whitby

If you took a plane from JFK Airport to Calcutta the chances are you will be tired by the time you get there. On May 5th 1838 the history of the Caribbean changed dramatically as 396 East Indians landed on the shores of British Guiana.

This was no joyride and there was no time for niceties. The journey from Calcutta to British Guiana was fraught with hardships, and like the slave ships of an earlier era there were deaths on the way. The two ships that landed were the Whitby and the Hesperus. Their cargo was to usher in a new form of slavery that changed the complexion of the colony.

Is Multi-Destination Tourism About To Become A Reality? – By David Jessop

Is Multi-Destination Tourism About To Become A Reality?

David Jessop

By David Jessop

News Americas, LONDON, England,  In February 2018, Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism, Edmund Bartlett and Mexican Secretary of Tourism, His Excellency Enrique de la Madrid Cordero, recently signed a multi-destination tourism agreement at the Westin Palace Hotel in Madrid, Spain.

22nd June 1948: MV Empire Windrush arrives at Tilbury Docks in London

Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May joined more than 2,000 others at Westminster Abbey in London on Friday to recognize the contributions to the country by immigrants from the English-speaking Caribbean and elsewhere invited in 70 years ago to help rebuild its war-ravaged economy. But it was more an act of contrition over the way the British government treated these people during its own crackdown on illegal immigration, giving birth to the Windrush scandal.

The ship Empire Windrush – yes, empire was flouted in those days – docked in London on June 22, 1948, with 1,027 passengers, 802 of them from the Caribbean, but the “Windrush generation” eventually  totaled more than 50,000, coming from several other countries, with a promise that they could live and work in Britain.      Continue reading →
