In this week's Black World News, Kehinde
Andrews discusses a current case in Barbuda being fought about the
construction of a new private airport and beach developments by
largely US, UK, and Chinese foreigners. It's a fight by local "land
defenders" against foreign multinationals carving up the island for
tourism, "freedom," and tax reduction purposes. Developers are
destroying the island's resources, including food security,
culture, and livelihoods This case is part of a larger problem with
the Carribean's legacy as slave colonies.
