Abstract

The article focuses on the struggle of Barbadian poet Kamau Brathwaite to preserve Cow Pastor, a piece of land in Christ Church, Barbados, intended for artistic and archival purposes. After purchasing the land in 1998, Brathwaite faced government restrictions due to its proximity to the airport, which ultimately led to plans for its destruction to make way for infrastructure development. The text reflects on the broader implications of globalization and tourism on Caribbean identity and heritage, emphasizing the loss of cultural spaces and the need for places of refuge. It also highlights Brathwaite's efforts to advocate for the land's preservation as a vital part of the region's historical and spiritual legacy. [Extracted from the article]
