Barbados Wooden Chattel Homes
A House as Metaphor for Barbados. Barbados itself is a goods home of sorts-- a little island that declined to stay where the world tried to place it. It picked up its identity and moved it through centuries of upheaval:
• Amerindian origins
• English colonial rule
• African survival and reinvention
• The plantation era
• Emancipation.
• Migration.
• Education.
• Independence.
• Republic.
At every turn, the island adjusted without losing itself. That is the chattel home spirit.
Movement without uprooting.
Strength without rigidity.
Identity that travels however does not fade.
Based on- Rogues in Paradise.
