At the beginning of the 20th century, many Barbadians worked in the Amazonas region, Pará and Rondônia.[2][3] There had been a mass exodus from the Caribbean in order to take part in the rubber boom, and the poor socio-economic conditions in Barbados at the time made Brazil an enticing place to search for a better life. In 1911 Roger Casement who was a British consular official at the time undertook a special investigation of the condition of Barbadian workers in the Putomayo Valley then part of Peru traveling to that region by going up the Amazon. [4] The Barbadian presence is still evidenced through some surnames of British origin found in Brazil, such as Alleyne, Mottley, Maloney, Depeiza, Blackman and Layne.[3]
