 ecause of its cosmopolitan nature and multicultural heritage, the Caribbean provides a perfect laboratory
for studying the ethnic, racial, and gender histories of peoples whose identities have evolved here over the past few hundred years. Trinidad - eight miles off the shore of Venezuela - has a unique identity, born of patterns of intercultural interaction, resistance, tension, and fusion among the Amerindians, Spanish, British, French, Africans, and Asians. The Trinity-in-Trinidad semester immerses students in
this variety of cultures. While the program takes place on an English-speaking island, the language is richly interlaced with the rhythms of a culture bounded, contained, and to some extent defined, by the Caribbean Sea and the rain forest. |
