Publisher's Synopsis
""The Perpetuation of Colonial Charm"" by Nancy Doris Palmer is a historical and cultural exploration of the ways in which colonialism and its legacy have shaped the architecture and aesthetic of the Caribbean. The book examines how the colonial powers of the past, including Spain, France, and Britain, left their mark on the region through the construction of grand estates, plantation homes, and other buildings that reflect the styles and values of their respective cultures.Palmer delves into the complex social and economic factors that contributed to the creation of these structures, as well as their ongoing significance in contemporary Caribbean society. She also considers the ways in which colonialism has been romanticized and commodified, particularly in the tourism industry, and the potential implications of this for the region's cultural heritage.Through a combination of historical research, cultural analysis, and personal anecdotes, ""The Perpetuation of Colonial Charm"" offers a thought-provoking and nuanced perspective on the legacy of colonialism in the Caribbean. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history and culture of the region, as well as those concerned with issues of heritage preservation and cultural identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
