Answer to Question 1

The term creolization refers to the blending of African, European, and Amerindian influences; it helps explain different cultural influences because of the syncretic qualities of Caribbean languages, musical styles, and even architecture. The different legacies of colonialism, indentured labor, and African traditions impart distinct local qualities of creolization from island to island.
