Economic diversity across Caribbean states shaped local Creole cultural reproduction

Evidence

There is considerable economic diversity among the CARICOM countries. Trinidad (with oil and gas), Guyana and Jamaica (with bauxite) are significant producers of minerals. There are also considerable differences in agricultural production, with the cultivation of sugar, bananas, citrus, rice, and spices spread among the various territories. Such economic diversity, along with recent and differential emphasis on tourism, commerce, finance, and manufacturing, have all affected the reproduction of Creole discourse. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 3221
