The main reason was that the indigenous people were unfit for slavery since they resented such an act. The promotion of the Caribbean slaver was due to the fact that the African natives were readily available and the possibility of assimilating in a new land (Engerman & Solow, 2004)
The plantation owners preferred importing other new slaves to providing the existing slaves with conditions and means for survival. This resulted to the passing of the Amelioration Act in 1798, which required the plant owners to improve on the enslaved workers conditions (Kiple, 2002)

This did not deter the people from the active resistance and on March 1, 1738, Jamaican maroons forced the whites to sign a treaty with the black slaves. This was the first step to end slavery in the Caribbean before it ended officially many decades later (Knight et al
No slaves were happy with the kind of treatment they got from their masters and lords. This led to a number of resistances by both women and men who provided labour in the white firms (Matthews, 2006)
Legal freedom was a matter of concern to Caribbean governments and civil society groups. In particular, these groups would come together to discuss public participation in governance, access to information, and access to justice without any forms of discrimination (Rugemer 2008)
This is since the climate was similar to the climate of the African's home in West Africa. These Africans were also cheap to maintain compared to the paid wage labourers and the European servants (Tomich, 2004)
). Diabetes and Hypertension Guidelines The current guidelines in the primary care of hypertension and diabetes in Barbados were perceived by their users as outdated, unavailable, difficult to remember, and had no pointers in dealing with barriers (Adams & Carter, 2010)
The following studies present and suggest more effective interventions for a variety of health conditions among Afro-Caribbean people who have been reported to have a high level of non-adherence to therapy. Literature Review Culture-Specific Interventions Many health providers contend that more effective interventions in reducing risks for diseases, especially HIV / AIDS, through greater adherence need to culturally conform to the specific culture of the subject population (Archibald, 2011)
This finding is believed to be consistent or relevant to that of studies conducted in other rural populations where social and religious beliefs and prejudices are strong (Moss & McDowell). Inadequate knowledge and understanding, mistrust, feared treatment In a continuing effort at understanding how African-Caribbean people's health habits influence their managing illness, particularly diabetes, one-to-one interviews were conducted (Brown, 2007)
These strategies should form part of an overall adherence intervention to HIV/ADS in order to be effective. Barriers to Beginning and Maintaining Prostate Antigen Screening This study examined the effect of race or ethnicity in starting and maintaining annual prostate specific antigen screening and the physician's role in its continuity (Gonzales et al
). The Healthy Project The effectiveness of incentives and of peer-group organizers in the results of a health improvement program for seniors in a multi-ethnic location in West Midlands, England was examined (Holland et al
). Facilitators and Barriers to Adherence The 50 respondents to a recent qualitative study on facilitators and barriers to adherence to multiple medications identified personal, contextual and health system factors in reply (Mishra et al
Patients also confronted cultural barriers concerning meals, exercise, body size, footwear, taking of medication, responsibility for one's health, and difficulty leaving work to go to the clinic (Adams & Carter). Poor Achievement in Diabetes Management Primary care guidelines in managing diabetes in the Caribbean were similarly found unsatisfactory by a cross-sectional study in primary care centers in North Trinidad (Morren et al
Their unwillingness to do this with those infected HIV / AIDS among them deserved further study (Archibald). Only in Combination with Indigenous Medicines A phenomenological study was conducted to determine the use of non-prescribable medicines in treating Type 2 diabetes in the specific population for the purpose of achieving greater adherence (Moss & McDowell, 2005)
). Knowledge and Correct Perceptions of Anticoagulants A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted on patients receiving anticoagulants at the Birmingham teaching hospitals (Nadar et al
Coping Strategies African and Afro-Caribbean communities cope much with the stigma of a high HIV / AIDS incidence rate. A survey of this stigma and how they cope with it was conducted on HIV-positive and HIV-negative members of the Afro-Caribbean communities in the Netherlands (Stutterheim et al
Travel agents' recommendations as to which cruise line to vacation with and which specific cruises to take have a significant impact on the customer's decision making process. Research has shown travel agents' word-of-mouth does have a significant impact on which cruises customers choose to take (Santangelo, 3) RCCL instead needs to look at how to use Web-based technologies to give travel agents and their own customer service organizations a 360 degree view of the customer
Lamming has confronted the negative definitions of his region through imaginative possibilities, and encourages new visions as well as meanings of experience. Derek Walcott has been regarded as a major modern poet and has also developed into a respected playwright (Cabrera, 1992)
Caribbean literature has been considered to reflect its political, cultural and linguistic fragmented region; this is due to its uniquely diverse and varied background (Jonnasaint, 2007)
