Bahamian folk history is tourist fare, infotainment. It moves along with all the other popular fashions. Battle of New Orleans Jimmy Driftwood (James C. Morris, 1907-1998) “...started writing songs during his teaching career to teach his students history in an entertaining manner.” [wiki] Steinbeck, Guthrie and Offer's creosoted peaches never happened. Truth would be the 1932-33 Soviet famines (4 million dead) and California's Madera Plan (zero dead in all North America) but that wouldn't sell in Hollywoodland. Debating the spelling of shanty-v-chantey; video games; Afro-Caribbean roots ad nauseum whilst failing to mention the word 'celeusma' even once in 20+ years is… not reliable.
