Boiling Down Sugar: The Iron Heart of Barbados' Sugar Industry Barbados Sugar Economy: A Tragic Exploitation. The introduction of the "plantation system" changed the island's economy. Big estates owned by rich planters dominated the landscape, with oppressed Africans supplying the labour required to sustain the demanding procedure of planting, harvesting, and processing sugarcane. This system generated tremendous wealth for the nest and solidified its place as a key player in the Atlantic trade. But African slaves toiled in perilous conditions, and many died in the infamous Boiling room, as you will see next: The Dangerous Labour Behind Sugar In the glory of Barbados' sun-soaked shores and vibrant plant lies a darker tale of strength and difficulty-- the dangerous labour behind its once-thriving sugar economy.

Barbados Beach Culture and Beyond. Bajans are a variety of cultural heritage from Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean. The island's history of slavery and colonization has left a long lasting impact on the Bajan individuals, and their culture shows this mix of impacts and origins.
