Dominica: Death of a village

Categories: Caribbean, Dominica, Kenya

ThandieLand laments the “death” of her home village in Dominica [1], tracing its depopulation to migration (internal and external), especially in the aftermath of 1979's Hurricane David. She compares her village's situation to that of the ancestral community of a Kenyan friend which has been decimated by HIV/AIDS.
