Abstract

Barbados transition to a republic is merely symbolic, but for generations of Barbadians, there has been something incongruous about the symbols and images dominating the spaces around the country. Symbols matter in the histories of nation-states and this marks the capstone of a much longer process of decolonisation from Britain, writes Robert Goddard (Emory University).
