Saint Lucia
The Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia is home to a thriving tourism industry. However, there’s much more to St. Lucia than just the stretches of sandy beaches and resorts that are filled with travelers from around the world. St. Lucia has a vibrant culture and rich history, and readers are introduced to them in this comprehensive guide to life on this island. Informative sidebars, clearly labeled maps, and beautiful photographs help readers discover more about St. Lucia, and simple recipes allow readers to bring island flavors into their homes.
A History of St Lucia
"A History of St Lucia is the first-ever detailed and comprehensive record of St Lucia's turbulent past. Beginning with the island's geological formation and subsequent Amerindian occupation, this book takes one through colonization by France and England to the rise and fall of the sugar industry, the tribulations of slavery, the feverish hopes and fears of the Brigand Wars and, eventually, Emancipation. After 1838, St Lucia's newly freed people went in search of independence, dignity and respectability: an era marked by the immigration of indentured workers from Barbados, Africa and India, the rise of a peasantry, and a labouring class in search of new horizons. The arduous battle with 'Mr Hard Times' formed fertile soil for a hard-fought coming of age in the 20th century when unions and political parties developed amidst the turmoil of two World Wars and a city's Death by Fire. Forcing King Sugar to his knees paved the way to a new St Lucia, built on the 'green gold' of the banana industry- an era which in many ways came to an end in 2007 with the passing of the architect of independence, Sir John Compton"--Back cover.

Introduction to Saint Lucia
Saint Lucia is a small island nation situated in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It is one of several islands that make up the Lesser Antilles, a chain of islands that stretch from Puerto Rico in the north to Venezuela in the south. Saint Lucia is considered a sovereign state, meaning it has its own government and is recognized as an independent nation by other countries around the world. The island of Saint Lucia is known for its natural beauty, with lush rainforests, stunning beaches, and clear blue waters. It is also home to a rich cultural heritage, with a mix of African, European, and Caribbean influences evident in its music, cuisine, and traditions. The island has a population of approximately 170,000 people, the majority of whom are of African descent. The official language is English, but Saint Lucians also speak a Creole language known as Kwéyòl. The economy is primarily based on tourism, agriculture, and manufacturing. Upon arrival in Saint Lucia, visitors can expect to be greeted by friendly locals, enjoy delicious food and drink, and experience a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that is uniquely Saint Lucian.

Kwéyòl in Postcolonial Saint Lucia
Can historically marginalized, threatened languages be saved in the contemporary global era? In relation to the wider postcolonial world, especially the Caribbean, this book focuses on efforts to preserve and promote Lesser Antillean French Creole Kwéyòl as the national language of Saint Lucia and on the legacy of colonialism and impact of globalization, with which English has become the universal lingua franca, as mitigating factors undermining these efforts. It deals specifically with language planning for democratization and government; literacy, the schools and higher education; and the mass media. It also examines changes in the status of and attitudes toward Kwéyòl, English and French since national independence and presents language planning implications from these changes and steps already undertaken to elevate Kwéyòl. The book offers new insight into globalization and its impact on linguistic pluralism, language planning, national development, Creole languages, and cultural identity in the Caribbean.
