You have to understand the history of slavery in the region to understand Barbados:I suggest Slave Society in the City: Bridgetown Barbados, 1680-1834 by Pedro L. V. WelchPeople think of the beach in Barbados, but the rural communities are the heart and soul - to get a sense of that, I'd also suggest: The Parish Behind God's Back: The Changing of Rural Barbados by George Gmelch and Sharon Bohn Gmelch (Sep 2001) - Dec 2010
