Rogues Yardfowl Chronicles

 

 Introducing the Yardfowl, the Antagonist in" Rogues in Paradise."

His home is the backyards of Local homes.

He strolls easily over streets and beaches and is often spotted with sunbathers on Barbados
beaches.

Striding happily across the island, without bounds, Yardfowl challenges any colonial predispositions.

Representing self-reliance and liberty with defiance and a boundary-less attitude.

Rogues' Yardfowl shares thematic similarities with Rawle C. Eastmond's "Yardfowl".

Both characters challenge societal standards with believed provoking insights into post-colonial Caribbean life.

' Rogues' gives voice to the unrepresented and the powerful. While Yardfowl guarantees absolutely nothing is overlooked or misrepresented. see the blog at https://roguesinparadise.com/bajan-yardfowl/

He passionately expresses his viewpoint. Cutting through any pretense, with Bajan slang and swagger.

On British Workers he quips:

" Sun bu 'n he, fry he head, an mek he fall like fly, dead n' die."

On Planters:

" Dem like hard-boiled egg, no feelin', jus' pushin', n' pulin' more sugar cash fo' de colonial massa who own servant like he own ram goat."

Thoughts On Becoming a Republig- Barbados Strugles with a New Identity

 

Thoughts on Barbados Becoming a Republic. What it means for identity, lifestyle, culture and sense of self- As noted in Chapter 40 of "Rogues in Paradise." 

See the blog at https://roguesinparadise.com/becoming-a-republic/ 

This story is a study of contrasts – a nation torn between breaking free from a painful past or cherishing historical connections that shaped institutions, education, and governance. Even Prince Charles acknowledges the importance of Barbados's transformation, underlining the journey toward independence and self-determination. 

"It's not just about money or apologies," says Mia Mottley, a prominent voice. "Barbados seeks investments that empower every citizen, forging a republic grounded in equity and growth." The legacy of leaders like Errol Barrow guides Barbados forward, infusing the transition with vision and purpose.

Although many take pride in now standing apart from the British crown, some feel a loss of something important. Like Pompaseein in Chapter Ome of Rogues, where the sharp-tongue lady jokes that she is waiting for the queen, the royal past is a part of who they are.

As the nation engages in debates and discussions, unity emerges as a prevailing theme. This journey is about more than change: collective progress and inspiration. Barbados stands at the crossroads of history, its decision resonating far beyond its shores. A beacon of hope for reconciliation, racial harmony, and freedom. Stay tuned for more stories that illuminate history's hidden corners and inspire transformation.
