WI Remember: The Complete Source for Historic Caribbean Patois (First Edition)

by Zoya Shepherd (Author) Published: May 18th, 2120

In the year 2020, there was a global pandemic that shutdown the world for months. A massive worldwide economic depression followed and small island developing states dependent on tourism were crippled, forcing mass migration for survival. What remained continued to suffer at the hands of global warming, until complete disintegration. The region formerly known as the Caribbean no longer exists. The people who come from this region are now scattered across the world. The West Indian diaspora maintains connection to their cultural identity through language. Patois was always the signifier of a fellow islander. Broken colonial language allowed the African ancestry to bubble to the surface and from island to island, dialect took form. As the crisis swelled the diaspora, the people created unity in documenting the languages that held their ancestral stories, and marked their creativity in history forever.
