home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Grenada Culture Grenadian culture is a mixture of British, African, West Indian and French influences. Though the majority of Grenadians are Roman Catholic and a French-African patois is spoken by some, the French influence on this small nation is slight compared to other neighboring islands that have oscillated between the main Caribbean colonial powers. The official language is English, and though the majority are Roman Catholic, there are plenty of Anglican, Methodist and Presbyterian churches. African Creole influences come to the fore during Carnival, and a general resurgence of black pride is visible in the widespread practice of giving African names to Grenadian children. Carriacou has a unique folk troupe that performs the African-influenced Big Drum Dance, centered around the playing of drums made of small rum kegs covered with goatskin. On Grenada, steel band and calypso music are popular. The folk art of Carriacou artist Canute Caliste has gained international recognition painting visions of mermaids and sailing vessels at his home in L'Esterre. The popularity of steel hulls has made it difficult to see traditional wooden schooners being built on Carriacou. back to top previous next : We've tried to make the information on this web site as accurate as possible, but it is provided 'as is' and we accept no responsibility for any loss, injury or inconvenience sustained by anyone resulting from this information.

The nation of Grenada is made up of Grenada, Petit Martinique and Carriacou. This island has a number of cultural attractions among which is Carnival, steel bands and Calypso music. Grenada can boast of the greatest calypsonian in the world in the name of Slinger Francisco - "The Might Sparrow". It is a place to escape to for romantic getaway, water sports, diving and snorkeling. It also possesses one of the most beautiful beaches in the world in the form of Grande Anse. The French and the British continued to battle for ninety years for control of Grenada. Fort George and Fort Frederick, which overlook St. George's harbour, are relics of those fights. Finally, under the Treaty of Versailles in 1783, the island was permanently ceded to the British. After the British gained control of the Grenada, they imported large numbers of slaves from Africa and established sugar plantations. In 1785, however, Julian Fedon, a black planter, challenged the British. Under Fedon's leadership, the island's slave rose up in a violent rebellion, effectively taking control of Grenada temporarily. Although the British crushed the rebellion, tensions remained high until slavery and abolished in 1834. The site of Fedon's Camp is a popular destination for hikers and trekkers as it is located high in the beautiful mountains.

Grenada - Culture G renada is a rolling, mountainous island, covered with fragrant spice trees and rare tropical flowers. Bordered by stunning beaches, and dotted with picturesque towns, this verdant island has long been a major source of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and cocoa. The seductive drifts through the colourful Saturday markets and Grenada's dense forests. In the interior of this volcanic island are cascading rivers and waterfalls, lush rainforests, and one of the most breathtakingly beautiful mountain lakes imaginable. The capital, St. George's, is widely held to be the loveliest city in the Caribbean. Its horseshoe-shaped harbour is surrounded by a pastel rainbow of dockside warehouses and the red-tiled roofs of traditional shops and homes. Grenada's physical beauty is complemented by its rich history and vibrant, living cultural heritage. Local festivals, fairs, and markets remain an integral part of life on Grenada. Its centuries-old spice plantations and rum distilleries still use traditional methods, emphasizing quality rather than quantity. Although the tourist industry has become more substantial in recent years, the island's easy rhythms and the friendly openness of its residents evoke an atmosphere that has long since vanished elsewhere. For many visitors, of course, the measure of any island is taken by its beaches and coral reefs, and Grenada offers plenty of both. The island is ringed with miles of picture-perfect strands, including both entrancing black and sugar-fine white sand beaches. Grand Anse Beach, a smooth expanse stretching for two miles around the curve of a gentle bay, is world famous. Grenada has plenty to offer those interested in offshore pleasure as well, with easily accessible and pristine reefs off the coast of both Grenada and its sister island, Carriacou.

Grenada's rich historical heritage History of Grenada The first people to arrive in Grenada were the Native Americans known as the Ciboney. The relatively peaceful Arawak Indians succeeded them, and in turn the fiercer Caribs conquered the Arawaks. It was the Caribs that were in possession of Grenada when Columbus arrived in 1498, but their fierce resistance to European settlement kept the island uncolonized for another 150 years. The French reached a temporary truce with the Caribs in 1650 and established a settlement, but fighting between the Europeans and the Indians soon erupted again. After a bloody struggle, the French triumphed. The last Caribs jumped to their deaths rather than submit to the Europeans, an event that is said to have occurred at a cliff in the town of Sauteurs, now known as Caribs Leap. The French established plantations that used slave labor to grow tobacco, sugar, cotton and other crops. During the 18th century, Britain and France battled for control of Grenada, and the island changed hands several times. Eventually the British retained control. Slavery was abolished in the 1830s, but agriculture remained the island's economic mainstay. In 1967, Grenada achieved full autonomy over internal affairs, and it became fully independent in 1974. Eric Gairy headed the nation through the latter half of the 1970s, but his rule was opposed by many in Grenada who viewed him as a corrupt tyrant.

17. Culture culture of grenada. As with many of the islands in the Caribbean, the culture of grenada has been shaped by a wide variety of extraneous factors. http://www.uvm.edu/~shauser/hst164/culture.html

Culture of Grenada As with many of the islands in the Caribbean, the culture of Grenada has been shaped by a wide variety of extraneous factors. Every inhabitant of Grenada, from the Arawaks to the Europeans, has played a role in developing the unique culture on the island. The most profound influence has been that of the French. The French were the first to settle on Grenada in 1650 and, with the exception of the 18th century when the island was ruled by the British, have remained to be the dominant European influence on the island. Every island in the Caribbean has its’ own unique culture. The Greater Antilles were settled by the Spanish and therefor have a stronger Spanish influence on their culture than that of the Lesser Antilles. Countries such as France, The Netherlands, and Great Britain settled many islands in The Lesser Antilles. The culture on these islands reflects this difference. It is not only the colonizing country that plays a role in the culture of an island, but the African presence on these islands as well. After all, Africans outnumbered Europeans almost ten to one on most islands in the Caribbean at the start of the 20th century. It is difficult to tell how much African culture these Africans brought with them when they came to islands in the Caribbean such as Grenada. When the Africans came to the Caribbean they were not coming because they wanted to go on a vacation or settle someplace different. They went because they were herded onto boats and forced to leave their families in Africa because European plantation owners needed human labor to support their agricultural practices in the Caribbean. With the abolition of slavery in the Caribbean during the 19th century, Africans found themselves free to do whatever they pleased. The dilemma that they faced was a difficult one.
