The 'greater Caribbean' is a cultural concept which includes the Caribbean sea as well as regions historically associated with Caribbean culture, such as Bermuda, New Orleans and the Cajun swamplands of Louisiana, southern Florida, most of Panama, the Mexican city of Merida, the northeastern coast of Brazil, etc. What is /int/'s opinion of this region?
But Bermuda isn't in the Caribbean
A few weeks ago I beat Victoria 2 at #1 world power as Cuba and that’s pretty much what it looked like
I have no opinion on this regionThats my contribution to this thread
They're too loud
Guyana is amazonian though
>>214532758I'd define the spanish speaking part of that region as spanish: hard difficulty
Amapá is not northeastern BrazilAnd I think the NE is to insular to be included in any global cultural map, there are shared roots and preferences but everyone outside of this place feels alien, including other brazilians to some degree. Idk how to describe it myself.
>>214532758very latinx place>amapánot curry bean
>>214533800Many historians consider the Fortaleza de São José de Macapá to be the 'end of the Caribbean.' It was built to fight Caribbean pirates and potential land claims from France/England/etc.
>>214532758Recently saw an Indian looking dude speaking a language I could not place at all (it didn’t sound like an Indian language) Then after I listened for a while I realized it was some very creolized version of English, probably Guyanese Fascinating region for sure
>>214533559It's the luso influence rather than spanish, If Colombia had been colonized by the porch geese it would be a cabon copy
>>214535065Highly debatable. As mentioned the roots can be the same but the conditions which brought up the modern cultural identity would be difference and so would be the outcome. Indigenous brazilians also don't share the same cuisine, dressings and habits with mesoamericans and andean civilizations which influenced latin american culture as a broad. There would be a stranger shift towards yoruba influence aswell instead of a mix of Congolese (Angola and the Congo in general) and Senegambian influence in the african side, not including the differences in timing regarding european settlement.
>>214535171So It would still be diferent but as different as Mexico is from Honduras or Peru is from Ecuador? aka not at all
>>214532802how the fuck did you do that? they have no soldier pops and by the time you end up building an army/navy with good tech everything gets sphered by the us anyways
>>214535229Those countries are right next to each other and using those as exemple support my original point. There's is already shared cultural and ethnic roots but that's as far as it goes, there's a very thin historical link, we deloped in isolation and remained insular within our own local societal context. There's nothing that links Ceará to Belize or Cuba to Pernambuco.
>>214535322>214535322You can't tell me with a straight face this doesn't look like here. I feel like I have been in this exact place before but it's thousands of kilometers away, in Cuba.
>>214535437That's besides the point. Australia looks a lot like the United States and they have the same ethnic anglosaxon roots but they aren't the same people because the historic conditions which brought up australian and american culture weren't the same
>>214532758
>>214532758LatinxA forced attempt to associate these cultures (which are more similar to Jamaica or Belize) with us just because we were Spanish colonies.They believe they represent all of Latin America and that the world revolves around Miami90% of immigrants in the United States come from these countrieshttps://youtu.be/hdHHXON55do?si=98yrNe8ats8QgaJrThe Hollywood stereotype for Latin America:a black man named Bolivia dressed as a clown, perhaps a drug and banana dealer, a salsa dancer, and a lover of chacabana music.
>>214532758For me? It's the golden circle
>>214532758All of that was Spain during 300 years. If we had kept it it would be the EU Schengen area too and all Europeans could go there during the summer as if it was Europe´s beaches too.
