RoguesCulture: Where History, Identity and Culture Meet

Rogues Guide to islands of the Caribbean a Project of Rogues in Paradise

Welcome to Rogues in Paradise and RoguesCulture, where Caribbean history, alive with remarkable characters, culture, and identity, meets the changing world of artificial intelligence. Inspired by my book Rogues in Paradise, RoguesCulture is an online journal of essays, stories and ideas exploring the people, places and histories that shape who we are — and the technologies transforming who we may become.

From Africa to Barbados, from the legacy of empire to identity, intelligence, creativity, and the possibilities of AI, the connecting thread is curiosity about humanity and its capacity to adapt, create, and flourish.

RoguesCulture and The Islands of the Caribbean

A paradise risen from a turbulent history of slavery and inhumanity. They rose, a string of treasure islands in a tranquil sea. A culture and a people of extraordinary character, each as different as the grains of sand. Survivors of the sins of time, independent, self-governing, and free.

The Rogues Guide of the Caribbean will captivate and draw you into the islands. Island life and character evolved through the decades of injustice to what we now know as the islands of Paradise. Now a world centre for tourism, the islands of the Caribbean are captivating with their beautiful beaches and historic architecture. Not to mention the glorious sunshine and sun-kissed beaches that are seriously irresistible.
