Trinidad and Tobago is one of the most cosmopolitan countries in the
world. Since the arrival of Amerindian peoples more than ten thousand
years ago, this twin-island, Caribbean nation has become a melting pot
of different races, traditions, customs and religions. The Amerindians,
followed by European colonisers and settlers from Africa, India, China
and the Middle East, have all influenced its diverse and unique culture.
Known as “the land of the hummingbird” –
a name given to the islands by the Amerindians – Trinidad and Tobago is
the birthplace of calypso music and the steel drum – two of the most
essential ingredients in the globally-renowned Trinidad Carnival.
Trinidad and Tobago:
Terrific and Tranquil is a spectacular book comprising more than two
hundred photographic images which depict life in this diverse and
vibrant nation. |
