Congratulations to the West Indies on a great win in the #cricket today. The first time they have beaten #Australia in a Test Match in twenty years. It inspired me to work out just which countries are in the West Indies, where are they, and of course, to find a coin to share. As an excuse to write about all of this, here is, the 2009 Trinidad and Tobago 1 Cent: https://coinofnote.com/2009-trinidad-and-tobago-cent/

“Power to the People!” Keston Perry & Sophia Edwards argue in Social Science History that the Black Power Movement in Trinidad & Tobago forced the state to adopt more interventionist industrial policies & a redistributive developmental agenda 1970-1984.

The 1889 Emigration Pass for my Great Great Grandmother who left India to become an indentured labourer on a sugar cane plantation on the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean.

Indians were recruited for plantation work after the British 1833 Slavery Abolition Act freed most slaves in the British Empire.

My ancestor stayed in Trinidad at the end of her tenure. Many others did too, giving Trinidad and Tobago its unique population mix.
