St Patrick’s Day on Montserrat and the Invention of Tradition
Abstract:
In recent decades, the island of Montserrat has been noticeably repositioning itself within the Caribbean as a place with a unique Irish heritage. Using the tag-line ‘the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean’, there has been an explicit attempt to evoke images of a verdant, green island with a long Irish heritage. Both of these features are partially true. Montserrat is a small island (39 square miles) of lush green hills and valleys, but this landscape has been dramatically changed in recent years by the devastating eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano, ongoing since 1995. Likewise, the history of Irish connections to the island is based in reality, but the story is considerably more complicated than it is often portrayed.
