Extractions: Grenada Grenadian culture is a mixture of British, African, West Indian and French influences. Though the majority of Grenadians are Roman Catholic and a French-African patois is spoken by some, the French influence on this small nation is slight compared to other neighboring islands that have oscillated between the main Caribbean colonial powers. The official language is English, and though the majority are Roman Catholic, there are plenty of Anglican, Methodist and Presbyterian churches. African Creole influences come to the fore during Carnival, and a general resurgence of black pride is visible in the widespread practice of giving African names to Grenadian children. Carriacou has a unique folk troupe that performs the African-influenced Big Drum Dance, centered around the playing of drums made of small rum kegs covered with goatskin. On Grenada, steel band and calypso music are popular. The folk art of Carriacou artist Canute Caliste has gained international recognition painting visions of mermaids and sailing vessels at his home in L'Esterre. The popularity of steel hulls has made it difficult to see traditional wooden schooners being built on Carriacou. : We've tried to make the information on this web site as accurate as possible, but it is provided 'as is' and we accept no responsibility for any loss, injury or inconvenience sustained by anyone resulting from this information.

The nation of Grenada is made up of Grenada, Petit Martinique and Carriacou. This island has a number of cultural attractions among which is Carnival, steel bands and Calypso music. Grenada can boast of the greatest calypsonian in the world in the name of Slinger Francisco - "The Might Sparrow". It is a place to escape to for romantic getaway, water sports, diving and snorkeling. It also possesses one of the most beautiful beaches in the world in the form of Grande Anse. The French and the British continued to battle for ninety years for control of Grenada. Fort George and Fort Frederick, which overlook St. George's harbour, are relics of those fights. Finally, under the Treaty of Versailles in 1783, the island was permanently ceded to the British. After the British gained control of the Grenada, they imported large numbers of slaves from Africa and established sugar plantations. In 1785, however, Julian Fedon, a black planter, challenged the British. Under Fedon's leadership, the island's slave rose up in a violent rebellion, effectively taking control of Grenada temporarily. Although the British crushed the rebellion, tensions remained high until slavery and abolished in 1834. The site of Fedon's Camp is a popular destination for hikers and trekkers as it is located high in the beautiful mountains.

Extractions: W For the next ninety years, the French struggled unsuccessfully to keep the island from falling into the hands of the British. Fort George and Fort Frederick , which still command the heights overlooking St. George's harbour, are relics of that fight. Finally, under the Treaty of Versailles in 1783, the island was permanently ceded to the British. Having gained stable possession of Grenada, the British immediately imported large numbers of slaves from Africa and established sugar plantations. In 1795, however, British control was seriously challenged once again, this time by Julian Fedon, a black planter inspired by the French Revolution. Under Fedon's leadership, the island's slaves rose up in a violent rebellion, effectively taking control of Grenada. Although the rebellion was crushed by the British, tensions remained high until slavery was abolished in 1834. The site of Fedon's Camp , high up in Grenada's beautiful central mountains, is today a popular destination for hikers and trekkers. In 1877 Grenada became a Crown Colony, and in 1967 it became an associate state within the British Commonwealth before gaining independence in 1974. Despite the island's long history of British rule, the island's French heritage (both colonial and revolutionary) survives in its place names, its buildings, and its strong Catholicism.

Extractions: Grenada Although Grenada is still largely known as the turf on which the US military made one of its more blustery stands in the name of democracy in the 1980s, savvy Caribbean travelers know Grenada as a colorful, robust travel destination that's wonderfully rough around the edges. Dubbed the 'Spice Island' because of its impressive production of nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, ginger and cloves, it has a rugged mountainous interior of rainforests and waterfalls and an indented coastline with protected bays and beaches. Its capital, St George's, has one of the prettiest harbor settings in the Caribbean. Tourist infrastructure is still generally small-scale and locally owned, offering a good balance between comfort and price, making Grenada a great getaway for those travelers wanting to avoid the Caribbean resort experience. The secret to a successful visit to Grenada is to mix up the beach (in)activity with getting out and about in the island's interior with a good pair of hiking boots. Full country name: Grenada
Susan Mains: THE VISUAL ARTS IN GRENADA
It is a time to invest in grenada's culture and proudly interpret it visually and display it as our own.
http://www.uwichill.edu.bb/bnccde/grenada/conference/papers/mains.html

Extractions: Painting by Susan Mains, click on picture to see a larger image One of the most defining moments of my artistic career was when an officer attached to the Ministry of Culture turned down the Art Council's request for funding to send an exhibit overseas. The reply given was, "Art is not a part of culture." Since that time more than five years ago, I have observed in many ways that visual art is the "outside child" of our institutional cultural milieu. When I returned to Grenada to live permanently in 1992, I immediately began to paint scenes from Grenada, and exhibit with the Grenada Arts Council. For many, many years the Grenada Art Council had hosted an annual show at Marryshow House. As a teenager I had visited the exhibit every year - admiring the work, longing to know the secrets of the artists - how did they do that? I believe that my history is typical of that of many small islanders; the desire to create art very strong, yet the opportunity, limited. The reality of the state of visual art in Grenada is that it enjoys no institutional support. Following are some examples of this.

grenada culture AND LIFESTYLE. grenada - AN INTRODUCTION. grenada is actuallya tri-island state, comprising of grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique.
http://www.homestaysgrenada.com/grencont.htm

Extractions: GRENADA - AN INTRODUCTION Grenada is actually a tri-island state, comprising of Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique. Grenada is 21 miles long by 12 wide, with a population of 95,000. Carriacou and Petit Martinique are considerably smaller and have a combined population of 7,000. Grenada is a quiet and considerably unspoilt destination, with a slow pace and relaxed and outdoor way of life. Grenada is a nature lovers' paradise, with beautiful beaches, waterfalls and lush tropical vegetation. Temperatures range from 75F/24C to 87F/30C with the rainy season from June to November. A typical shower, however, only lasts less than one hour. GRENADA - ITS HISTORY The original people The recorded history of Grenada dates back to the early 1600's. The original people, subsistence agriculturalists, are thought to have come by canoe from the Orinoco Basin in what is now Venezuela in the first century AD. The Arawak people followed in the sixth century, who named the island Ciboney. The next wave of immigrants were the Caribs, who arrived in the fifteenth century and conquered the Arawak nation and renamed the place Camerhogne. European history has described the Caribs as 'cannibals' but there is no proof that this was the case. Christopher Columbus sailed by and gave the name Concepion. The colonists The French arrived in the early 1600's and after being fought off on numerous occasions by the Caribs they made a violent entrance by almost wiping out the entire Amerindian population. Sauteurs ('Leapers' in French), in St.Patrick's is renowned to be where the last of the Carib people leapt to their death rather than be enslaved by the French. Some Carib people, however, did live on and intermingled with the incoming African population, forming Maroon societies in some of the most inaccesible areas of Grenada.
