Barbados identity Buried in History

Memory Built in Wood. The chattel house ended up being a type of portable memory. Every board brought a story: a birth, a quarrel, a promise, a cyclone made it through, a prayer whispered through floorboards, a pot singing on a coal range. Households expanded and contracted, rooms included and removed, home moving shape the method identity shifts through generations.
" This is why we never lose we humour," the old man stated. "An individuals who can lift they entire home and carry on? You can't break them. You can just teach them different ways to stand."
The house was not simply shelter.
It was testimony.

A declaration sculpted in pine and mahogany: We will not be caught once again.
