Introduction 

Hi, and welcome to this special episode of Voices of the Caribbean, where we’ll take a deep dive into an intriguing question: Has Barbados Maintained Its Postcolonial Heritage from 1966 to 2026? Copyright2026 ISBN 979-8-90452-194-3
I’m your host, Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D., a scholar with a unique multidisciplinary approach to understanding the evolution of Barbados. As a cultural theorist, photojournalist podcaster, publisher, and doctor of divinity, I will guide you through the complex layers of Barbadian identity as it has shifted and evolved over the past sixty years. It’s a pleasure, as a proud Barbadian citizen, to be part of this important conversation about the preservation and transformation of Barbadian heritage. It’s a topic that’s very close to my heart. I am broadcasting from the beautiful island of Barbados. In this episode, we’ll explore how Barbados—known as the "Gem of the Caribbean"—has navigated its postcolonial journey and what this means for its national identity today.
