Bonaire salt marshes: pink ponds and white salt mountains in the south of the island

HISTORY & HERITAGE

Bonaire: 3,700 hectares of salt marshes conceal a history of slavery

At the southern tip of Bonaire, a Dutch-speaking island in the Caribbean, the salt marshes stretch out in pink and white basins across nearly 3,700 hectares—thirteen percent of the island’s total area. This postcard view, photographed every year by thousands of visitors from the coastal road, hides a history dating back more than five centuries, the story of salt that shaped Bonaire’s economy and, for two hundred years, the lives of hundreds of enslaved people. Along EEG Boulevard, which runs along the southern coast of Bonaire, mountains of white salt come into view kilometers before you reach them. Each contains about 10,000 metric tons of salt that is 99.6% pure, piled nearly 15 meters high, with up to 200,000 metric tons stored at any given time.

S3/10 – Stories of Caribbean Cinema: Two Perspectives on the Year 1980. Texts by Guillaume Robillard. Ciclic, 2026.

With this third episode, *Stories of Caribbean Cinema* moves into the 1980s. The first two installments covered Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Guadeloupe, from the 1960s through the emergence of Caribbean cinema. This time, two films made in the same year take radically different directions. In Jamaica, *Children of Babylon* explores romantic, sexual, and racial relationships with unusual freedom. In Guadeloupe, *Live Free or Die* draws on several centuries of history centered on the legacy of Commander Ignace. This article is the third installment in a series of ten. Two installments have already been published, and seven more will follow in this chronology of Caribbean cinema. 1980: JAMAICA – “CHILDREN OF BABYLON”, BY LENNIE LITTLE-WHITE This film is unique in Jamaican cinema and, more broadly, in Caribbean cinema as a whole. Far from the social deprivation of Kingston’s ghettos, in a villa in the countryside (complete with a swimming
