Chapter : 1. The Making of a Global World
Surviving methods discovered by the workers
Surviving methods discovered by the workers : New forms of individual and collective self-expression blending different cultural forms were developed. In Trinidad the annual Muharram procession was transformed into a riotous carnival called 'Hosay'. The protest religion of Rastafarianism is also said to reflect social and cultural links with Indian migrants to the Caribbean. 'Chutney music', popular in Trinidad and Guyana, is another creative contemporary expression of the post-indenture experience. These forms of cultural fusion are part of the making of the global world, where things from different places get mixed, lose their original characteristics and become something entirely new.
