Illustrate some examples of cultural fusion in the Caribbean. What were their results?
Nineteenth century indenture has been described as a new system of slavery . On arrival at the plantations labourers found conditions to be different from what they had thought . Living and working conditions were harsh and there were few legal rights.
(a) Some examples of cultural fusion or a new culture among the indentured workers were as follows:
(i) In Trinidad the annual Muharram procession was transformed into a riotous carnival called “Hosay” (for Imam Hussain). Workers of all races and religions joined in this carnival.
(ii) The protest religion of Rastafarianism is also another example of social and cultural links with Indian migrants to the Caribbean.
(iii) ‘Chutney music’ in Trinidad and Guyana is also an example of cultural fusion.
(b) The above forms of cultural fusion helped in the making of the global world, where things from different places get mixed, lose their original characteristics and become something entirely new. This also encouraged a large number of Indians to stay back.
