  • RUMS of the CARIBBEAN the Sweet Heat of Caribbean Rum Is the Highlight of the New Sugar Cane Rum Bar at Peter John’S Lounge
    RUMS OF THE CARIBBEAN The sweet heat of Caribbean Rum is the highlight of the new Sugar Cane Rum Bar at Peter John’s Lounge. This new offering celebrates rums produced in Saint Lucia and throughout the Caribbean and gives guests an opportunity to try many for the first time and maybe even find a favorite to take home. Rum’s history is intertwined with Caribbean history. The industry got its start with sugar cane first brought to the West Indies by Christopher Columbus; and today’s Caribbean rums are enjoying a renaissance hundreds of years later. Coconut Bay’s award-winning premium selection includes Saint Lucia’s Chairman’s and Admiral Rodney, Guyana’s El Dorado, Trinidad & Tobago’s Angostura, Martinique’s Rhum Clément, and Doorly’s from Barbados. See the full – and growing – list here.

The Earth is blue like an orange Never an error the words don't lie They don't give you any more to sing In the turn of kisses to understand The crazy and the loves She her kiss of alliance All the secrets all the smiles And what clothing of indulgence To believe her completely naked. The wasps bloom green The dawn passes round the neck A necklace of windows Of wings covering the leaves You have all the solar joys All the Sun above the Earth Above the paths of your beauty. Paul Eluard Translated by O.A. Ramos FOREWORD The challenging health situation of the 2020/2021 financial year has not dampened the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ambitions of Rémy Cointreau – quite the contrary. CSR is a long-standing priority for the Group and its exceptional brands, which pushed ahead with initiatives to promote biodiversity, the preservation of terroirs, the circular economy, and partner communities. The Group’s brands also played their part in managing the health crisis, notably by actively participating in the production of hand sanitizer. As in the previous year, the Group demonstrated its structural strength. Resilient to the unforeseen collapse in demand, it proved to be highly adaptable when the Chinese and US markets recovered. Despite the impact of the pandemic, it ended the year with positive organic growth in sales and significant growth in earnings.

  • Barbados, Bajan Civility in the Caribbean Sun
    Barbados, Bajan Civility in the Caribbean Sun By Lee Foster Travelers, primarily from the United States, Britain, and Canada, choose the island of Barbados in growing numbers. Visitors savor the warm and sunny weather, plus the white coral sand beaches. Fine dining on seafood occurs at landmark restaurants, such as The Cliff, and at upscale resorts, epitomized by The Crane. The island of Barbados ranks as an outpost of the British legacy in the Caribbean sun. It is the easternmost land mass in the Caribbean. The name Barbados came from early Portuguese navigators. They noted the strands of vegetation, or “beards,” hanging from the fig trees that dotted the shoreline of the island. The island became the “bearded” place. Attractions of Barbados: What to Do and See When venturing out from resorts, a tour of the island shows the solid British management of the place without interruption from 1624. Finally, Barbados finally declared independence in 1966. Barbados played a critical role in the American Revolution. An impressionable 19- year-old surveyor named George Washington visited here for six weeks in 1751. What he learned, mainly, was that England’s overriding interest was its wealth from sugar and slave trading in the West Indies. For this reason, he later evaluated that England would not strenuously oppose the breakaway of the mainland colonies. A visitor today can see the Changing of the Sentry, where British troops were housed. The ceremony takes place in front of the 1804 Main Guard House. Another appealing tour is a candlelight repast, called “Dinner with George Washington,” at the house the Washington family rented during George’s visit.

  • The Legacies of Slavery and Emancipation: Jamaica in the Atlantic World
    Proceedings of the Ninth Annual Gilder Lehrman Center International Conference at Yale University, co‐sponsored by the Yale Center for British Art The Legacies of Slavery and Emancipation: Jamaica in the Atlantic World November 1‐3, 2007 Yale University New Haven, Connecticut Remembering Jamaica Bill Schwarz, School of English and Drama, Queen Mary, University of London Available online at http://www.yale.edu/glc/belisario/schwarz.pdf © Do not cite without the author’s permission When Gillian Forrester sent the invitation to speak at the conference she suggested it would be valuable to discuss the legacies of Jamaican slavery in Britain, during the years of Windrush and decolonization – encompassing the late 1940s, the 1950s and 1960s. I had two immediate responses. The first was that this was of great interest, even though I had never formulated the issue quite in these terms. The idea of thinking together the conjunction of memories of slavery with the politics of decolonization clearly has much going for it. The second was that I couldn’t think, straightaway, of any obvious textual archive – no public political debate, no significant imaginative fiction, no movies, no significant cache of private papers – to which I could immediately turn. Over the following weeks I pondered this further, and spoke with colleagues. It gradually became apparent that there was no extensive known archive which could shed light on this, save for the occasional fragments. The question that Gillian posed is powerfully a question of our time, and not one which was a preoccupation of postwar Britain. As we shall see, this situation contrasts dramatically with the story that Catherine Hall will tell about the dispositions of memory in the UK ‐‐ the ambiguities notwithstanding ‐‐ which have characterized the current bicentennial in 2007 of the abolition of the slave trade.
