A Short History Of Barbados

Connell, Neville C., A Short History Of Barbados, Barbados Museum & Historical Society, 1 Jan. 1960.

The Barbados Coat of Arms was designed by Mr. Neville C. Connell who was director of the Barbados Museum for almost 24 years. He was a prolific writer and contributed a great number of articles for the Museum Journals, local newspapers as well as publications overseas. He was educated at Harrison College, Barbados and Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. He was called to the Bar at Grey's Inn. He served in the Royal Artillery on the outbreak of war. After his discharge he worked in an Antique Dealer's business and was also Assistant Secretary of the Institute Practitioners in Advertising. The Design of Barbados Coat of Arms was the result of extensive research conducted by Mr. Connell who was a student of Heraldy. He was assisted in this work by Mrs. Hilda Ince (now deceased), an excellent artist. The developmental sketches of the Coat of Arms remain in the possession of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society.

Papers from the XIV Conference of the Association of Caribbean Historians, Barbados, 1982.

The origin of the Association of Caribbean Historians (ACH) is rooted in discussions on collaboration across the region initiated by Jacques Adelaide-Merlande of Guadeloupe with colleagues in the University of the West Indies (UWI). In April 1969, Jacques invited UWI historians to participate in a colloquium on “From Slavery to Emancipation.” Out of the subsequent discussion, first, between Jacques and Woodville Marshall, Carl Campbell and Neville Hall and, later, inside the UWI department of history, the UWI historians organized the second conference at UWI, Cave Hill, Barbados in April 1970.

From The Barbados Garrison:

The Barbados Garrison, largest in the British Colonies during the 18th and 19th centuries, is of great historic interest and offers many features, other than military, for those so inclined. It was established in 1780 as the military headquarters for the Imperial Forces stationed here until 1905/6. However, it began with St. Ann’s Fort, on its present site, in 1705.

Bim, Vol. 13, No. 53, July – December 1971.

BIM (magazine) was a distinguished "little magazine" first published in Barbados in 1942, being one of two pioneering Caribbean literary journals to have been established in the 1940s, the other being A. J. Seymour's Kyk-Over-Al in British Guiana in 1945. According to the Barbados National Register, on the submission of 16 volumes of BIM magazine together with the associated Frank Collymore Collection of correspondence in 2008: "The importance of the magazine is that it provides a miniature history of primary sources in West Indian literature. In the mid twentieth century the magazine fostered the idea, new in the region at that time, that the profession of writing is an honorable one. The magazine was the chief meeting place for Anglophone literary ideas thus enabling the writers to overcome their isolation. Bim provided also an opportunity for new writers to appear in print alongside more established Caribbean writers who had published abroad. The magazine was thus a major force for regional dialogue, championing regionalism by its actions. Almost every important West Indian writer contributed first poems and short stories to Bim. It was here that they obtained their first encouragement and it was from here that links were established with the BBC programme Caribbean Voices and its producer Henry Swanzy who championed the development of Caribbean writing abroad."[1]

A True and Exact History of the Island of Barbadoes, 1647-1650 (Abridged)

Ligon, Richard, A True and Exact History of the Island of Barbadoes, 1647-1650 (Abridged), Kingston: Extra-Mural Department, University College of the West Indies, 1950.

Richard Ligon (1585?–1662), a British author, lost his fortune as a royalist during the English Civil War (1642-1651), and during this turbulent time in England he found himself, as he notes in his narrative, a "stranger in my own country." On 14 June 1647, he left for Barbados to gain his fortune in the New World, like many of his fellow countrymen. Ligon purchased half of a sugar plantation in Barbados. After two years residence on the island he was attacked by a fever, and returned to England in 1650. He was soon afterward put into prison by his creditors.

Readings in Government and Politics of the West Indies

Singham, Archie W., E. S. Jones, D. Gordon, Catherine Levy, T. G. Munroe, Eds., Readings in Government and Politics of the West Indies, Kingston 5: University of the West Indies, N.D.

From the Introduction:

This reader is intended primarily for students in Government at the University of the West Indies (Mona, St. Augustine and Cave Hill) and the University of Guyana, and for the students enrolled in the short term courses for civil servants in the Eastern Caribbean Training Programme. The Department of Government at Mona has taught a third year paper on Government and Politics in the West Indies from 1960, but the focus of this paper has gradually shifted from a federal emphasis to a more comparative one. This paper was taught on an experimental basis in 1964 – 65 and during the academic year 1965 – 66 the paper was considerably revised and a more integrated approach adopted. The absence of a single text and the dearth of written materials on West Indian politics has been responsible for the preparation of this Reader. It will be noticed that the readings are drawn not only from the literature in political science, but also from related disciplines.

Ramiro Guerra, fue, junto con Emilio Roig de Leuchsenring y Fernando Ortiz, uno de los más importantes renovadores de los estudios históricos en Cuba, cuyas proyecciones en la investigación se relacionaron con las posiciones que asumieron ante las dificultades económicas y los cambios políticos que enfrentaba América Latina en la segunda década del siglo. Las ideas de su obra Azúcar y población en las Antillas (1927) fueron asumidas como propias por los jóvenes revolucionarios de la década de los años 30.

From the author’s Foreword:

Nicholas Darnell Davis (1846-1915) was born in Grenada, and spent brief periods in Mauritius and Sierra Leone, but his main public career was in British Guiana [Guyana], where he served as Postmaster General (1876-1881), Comptroller of Customs (1881-1895), and Auditor-General (1895-1908). Davis had a life-long interest in the history of the West Indies and more specifically of Barbados, and this collection comprises a vast body of material gathered by him from archives in Britain, the Caribbean and Europe. He contributed many historical articles to newspapers and periodicals in British Guiana, Barbados and the United States. His intention to compose a comprehensive history of the West Indies was frustrated by ill health.

West Indian Nationhood and Caribbean Integration

Demas, William G., West Indian Nationhood and Caribbean Integration, Barbados: CCC Publishing House, 1974.

From the Foreword:

The fundamental thesis about Caribbean integration which I have always held is that the English-speaking Caribbean countries, because of their relatively small size and relatively weak and dependent economies, should consolidate themselves into as tight and coherent a grouping as possible so that they could cooperate economically and in other ways with the bigger countries with stronger economies of both the Caribbean Sea and the wider « Caribbean Basin » on terms that would be less unequal and more self-respecting for the West Indian peoples, than would be the case if each West Indian country sought to develop bilateral relationships with such countries, with the risk of getting involved in new forms of external dependence.

See The Poor Whites of Barbados, by Thomas J. Keagy.

See also A Historical Sketch of the Poor Whites of Barbados: From Indentured Servants to "Redlegs" in Caribbean Studies.

Redlegs is a term used to refer to the class of poor whites that live on Barbados, St. Vincent, Grenada and a few other Caribbean islands. Their forebears came from Ireland, Scotland and the West of England.[1] Many of their ancestors were transported by Oliver Cromwell.[2] Others had originally arrived on Barbados in the early to mid 17th century as slaves or indentured servants. Small groups of Germans and Portuguese were also imported as plantation labourers. Many were described as "white slaves".[citation needed] According to folk etymology, the name is derived from the effects of the tropical sun on their fair-skinned legs. However, the term "Redlegs" and its variants were in use for Irish soldiers of the same sort as those later transported to Barbados, and the variant "Red-shankes" is recorded as early as the 16th century by Edmund Spenser in his dialogue on the current condition of Ireland.

From the inner sleeve of the book:

Here is the first detailed investigation of plantation slave life in Barbados from earliest times until 1838. The authors have visited slave village sites, and their intensive excavation of a slave cemetery has yielded a wealth of material pertaining to mortuary practices and other dimensions of social and material life. Handler and Lange have also examined and extensively integrated the written records to amplify and cross – check their findings.

An Outline of Barbados History

Campbell, P.F., An Outline of Barbados History, Caribbean Graphics, 1974.

From the Preface:

Most travelers want to know something about the history of the places they visit. This booklet aims to tell them a little about the history of Barbados. If I seem to have devoted a disproportionate amount of space to the background to English settlement in the West Indies, it is because I believe the reader will find it interesting. On the other hand, I make no excuse for having said so little of the important developments of the last thirty years. The visitor will find plenty of Barbadians ready to discuss these, and he must form his own judgment after listening to accounts which will inevitably differ widely in interpretation and emphasis.
