Diaspora [edit]
Many Barbadians now live overseas and outside of Barbados, the majority have migrated to Anglophone countries, including some 21,601 Barbadians in the United Kingdom, around 54,509 Barbadians in the United States and 20,000 in Canada. In addition to Anglophone countries other groups of Barbadians have moved to Latin countries including: Cuba[2]and Panama.[3][4]
In 1865, 346 immigrants from Barbados arrived in Liberia, and became part of the Americo-Liberian ethnic group which dominated that country for more than a century.
