Proximity makes the U.S. Bermuda’s primary trading partner. With no natural resources other than its appeal as an offshore business center and a vacation destination, Bermuda imports most everything; 68% ($601.4 million) of the island’s imports derived from the U.S. in 2012, the latest date for which statistics are available. In addition, Bermuda’s tourism industry relies on U.S. visitors - more than 472,000 or about 81% of all cruise and air passengers in 2013. An estimated 8,000 U.S. citizens also live in Bermuda. Bermuda’s economy relies on foreign direct investment (FDI), primarily international business (IB) – insurance and reinsurance. Tourism also brings in foreign exchange, but to a much lesser degree.

  • The Social and Historical Construction of Black Bermudian Identities: Implications for Education
    The Social and Historical Construction of Black Bermudian Identities: Implications for Education By Donna May Outerbridge A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the doctoral degree Graduate Department of Humanities, Social Science and Social Justice Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Donna May Outerbridge (September 2013) Donna May Outerbridge The Social and Historical Construction of Black Bermudian Identities: Implications for Education Doctor of Philosophy Department of Humanities, Social Science and Social Justice Education University of Toronto (2013) Abstract This dissertation looks at the historical and social construction of Black Bermudian identities, and how identities have been shaped in contemporary Bermuda by its education system. I grapple with, and attempt to make sense of the complexities, messiness, ambiguity, disappointments, and painful reality of Black Bermudians’ identity and cultural dynamics. It is necessary to have a total understanding of identity and its connections not only to enslavement and colonization but also the rest of the Caribbean and Africa. The present understanding creates an amputated sense of self. Through the use of three concepts: Afrocentricity, Anti-colonialism and creolization, this dissertation seeks to reunify Bermuda with the rest of the Caribbean and Africa by moving Bermuda from the peripheral of international discourses to the larger and broader discussions on African-diasporic identity. It is through the synthesis of these theories that Black Bermudian identities and how Black Bermudians self-identify are understood through their various forms of resistance to dominant narratives. The dissertation also proposes a re- examination of the role of schooling and education—through teaching curriculum, texts and pedagogical practices—in producing a particular narrative of Black identity and the implications of such knowledge in constructing Blackness in Bermuda.
