Civilization in the Caribbean did not begin with the Europeans. Indigenous people lived in the Caribbean long before the arrival of the Europeans. If anything, the Europeans are responsible for the diversity of races in the Caribbean.
Two ancestral art forms that have survived in the Caribbean are traditional music and dance, particularly genres such as reggae, calypso, and salsa, which reflect the region's diverse cultural influences. Additionally, crafts like pottery, weaving, and wood carving continue to be practiced, preserving indigenous techniques and cultural heritage. These art forms not only celebrate the Caribbean's history but also serve as vital expressions of identity and community.
Infantilization of indigenous peoples
Africans in the Caribbean primarily lived as enslaved individuals, brought through the transatlantic slave trade to work on sugar, tobacco, and coffee plantations. They often faced harsh conditions, including long hours of labor and brutal treatment. Despite these challenges, they maintained aspects of their cultural heritage, blending African traditions with influences from Indigenous peoples and European colonizers, which gave rise to rich cultural expressions in music, dance, and religion. After emancipation in the 19th century, many Africans and their descendants continued to shape Caribbean society and culture.
Pan-Africanism had a great influence on the Caribbean in numerous ways, including food, religious mixing (religious syncretism), clothing, music, and dance.
