Challenging Colonial Narratives


By embodying an undeviating defiance, Yardfowl opens up a space for readers to critically engage with the intricacies of Barbados' history. His resistance is not merely about declining the past but about requiring a complete acknowledgment of its oppressions and ongoing impacts. Through his lens, Rogues in Paradise checks out the psychological and cultural effect of slavery and manifest destiny on the island and its individuals. Yardfowl's function in the story guarantees that the story of Barbados is not streamlined or minimized to tales of durability alone. Instead, his presence highlights the sticking around trauma and structural injustices in modern-day Barbados, advising readers to think about how these issues continue manifesting in modern society. While other characters may look for reconciliation or try to balance their views of history, Yardfowl's rejection to jeopardize forces an uncomfortable however necessary discussion about responsibility, memory, and justice. His character acts as a review of sterilized stories and a call to action for those ready to face unpleasant truths and search for a more truthful reckoning with history.
