Barbados, A World Apart combines striking photographs, maps,
and an extensive text in a lush, large-format, coffee-table book
portraying the scenery, culture, people, nature, and history of
Barbados. There is a particular emphasis on “Bajan” culture and
the island’s historic and traditional architecture — the famous
“chattel houses” as well as the plantation great houses built in
the bygone era of “King Sugar.” Barbados, A World Apart has
been acclaimed as the finest photographic-essay book ever produced about the island.
