Forbes Barbados may be only around 21 miles long and 14 miles wide, but this island is 166 square miles of beauty and culture. It’s east of the Caribbean Sea in the western Atlantic Ocean, and its highest point, Mount Hillaby, serves as a lookout with stunning views. Adventurous travelers will revel in exploring the island’s deep caverns, lush primate-filled forests, pristine, white-sand beaches and rocky cliffs.
Today more than ever before, the ways of the Carib are to be laughed at and ridiculed; the dirty, heathen savages who are to be shunted away and have no rights but to die far away. The colonization of Barbados is one of the darkest events and evil stories of modern history. Four centuries ago Spanish and Portuguese slavers started to kidnap, kill and drive out the thousands of peaceful Indians found on the islands the Indians called Ichiroganaum. The exact location of the island was a carefully kept secret but Spanish and Portuguese sailors knew the island only as the barbarous island, “Los Barbados” where brutality and crime could be committed with immunity. The island lay just outside the Caribbean and far away from watchful eyes. Look out for this and other books by Gary and Angela Cole…
