Welcome to our case study on Montserrat, a small island in the Caribbean that has faced numerous

challenges in recent years. We will explore the history, geography, and current situation of
Montserrat, and discuss the impact of these challenges on the island and its people.

The history of Montserrat is one of colonization and slavery, with the island being first inhabited by
the indigenous Arawak and Carib peoples before being claimed by the Spanish, French, and British.
In the 17th century, the island became a major producer of sugar, leading to the importation of
enslaved Africans to work on the plantations. This history of colonization and exploitation has had a
lasting impact on the island and its people.

Geographically, Montserrat is a small island measuring only 39 square miles, located in the Leeward
Islands of the Caribbean. It is a volcanic island, with its most famous landmark being the Soufrière
Hills volcano. The volcano has been active since 1995, causing major devastation to the island and
forcing two-thirds of the population to flee. The ongoing volcanic activity has had a significant
impact on the economy and infrastructure of Montserrat.

Currently, Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory with a population of approximately 5,000

people. The island relies heavily on tourism and agriculture, but the volcanic activity has severely
impacted these industries. The government has implemented various measures to support the island's
recovery, including the development of a new capital city and the establishment of a geothermal
energy plant.

Despite the challenges faced by Montserrat, the island remains a beautiful and resilient place, with a
rich culture and friendly people. If you are interested in learning more about this unique destination,

uninhabitable. This volcanic volatility led to the creation of the exclusion zone encompassing the
entire southern half of the island. A variety of settlements were abandoned either by the eruption of
1995 or the flows of 1997 and still more were evacuated and later resettled. Among these is

the idyllic island of Montserrat. Located in the Caribbean island chain called the Lesser Antilles, this
small island is just 10 miles long, 7 miles wide and home to nearly 5,000 people. Montserrat has been
nicknamed “The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean” for it’s resemblance to coastal Ireland, but unlike
Ireland there are no direct flights from the United States, Canada, or United Kingdom to the smaller
