Barbadian Brazilians
At the beginning of the 20th century, many Barbadians worked in the Amazonas region, Pará and Rondônia.[2][3] There had been a mass exodus from the Caribbean in order to take part in the rubber boom, and the poor socio-economic conditions in Barbados at the time made Brazil an enticing place to search for a better life.In 1911 Roger Casement who was a British consular official at the time undertook a special investigation of the condition of Barbadian workers in the Putomayo Valley then part of Peru traveling to that region by going up the Amazon.[4] The Barbadian presence is still evidenced through some surnames of British origin found in Brazil, such as Alleyne, Mottley, Maloney, Depeiza, Blackman and Layne.You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.This article related to an ethnic group in Brazil is a stub.
