108The Deal<br />
Electric Avenues<br />
As the world grows more environmentand<br />
energy-conscious, electric cars<br />
seem like the transport of the future.<br />
And most <strong>Caribbean</strong> countries offer<br />
ideal conditions for their adoption,<br />
writes Shelly-Ann Inniss<br />
110On this day<br />
The Remains of the Danes<br />
Exactly a century ago, the Kingdom<br />
of Denmark sold its <strong>Caribbean</strong><br />
possessions for $25 million to the<br />
United States. Commemorated in the<br />
US Virgin Islands, the anniversary is<br />
little remembered elsewhere <strong>—</strong> but,<br />
as James Ferguson writes, the story<br />
behind the event reminds us about<br />
the ambitions that drove European<br />
colonisation of our region<br />

120 parting shot<br />
The historic architecture of the Old<br />
Havana neighbourhood in Cuba’s<br />
capital is an artistic treasure trove<br />
The <strong>Caribbean</strong> Airlines logo shows a hummingbird in flight. Native to the <strong>Caribbean</strong>, the hummingbird represents<br />
flight, travel, vibrancy, and colour. It encompasses the spirit of both the region and <strong>Caribbean</strong> Airlines.<br />
