The history of the Caribbean factor in Ghana is one that goes back to mid-19th century, over 160 years. It is rich, colourful and indeed it is even possible to argue that from the diaspora, the Caribbean provided the most influences and contributions to Ghana. The Caribbean factor is present to some extent in all spheres of Ghanaian life.
Caribbean involvement in Ghana began in 1843 with the arrival of black missionaries from Jamaica and Antigua under the auspices of the Basel missionary society.
