from William's Podcast · host Dr.William Anderson Gittes,D.D.

AbstractThis paper presents a scholarly analysis of the historical context surrounding the ownership, construction, and materials used in the building of the Historic Clifton Hall Great House Plantation House located in St. John, Barbados. Drawing upon the writings and research of Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D., the analysis explores the lineage of owners and builders of this iconic plantation house and delineates the architectural materials that defined its enduring structure. Through this analysis, a deeper understanding of Barbados’s colonial heritage and architectural practices is achieved. Conversely this conversation also presents a cultural and photojournalistic textual analysis of selected architectural and symbolic images from Barbados and Marseille, France. Drawing upon postcolonial theory, visual culture, and theological reflection, the discussion explores how built environments and statues function as cultural texts. Particular attention is given to Clifton Hall Great House in St. John, Barbados, and the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde in Marseille. The analysis reflects on heritage, memory, spirituality, and identity through the interdisciplinary lens of a cultural theorist, photojournalist, and Doctor of Divinity.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.,Podcast 277: A Journey from Barbados to Marseille, France (Podcast Episode 277) Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.

Life has brought me countless blessings, and at the forefront of these blessings is the immeasurable debt of thanks I owe to my late parents, Charles and Ira Gittens. They bestowed upon me their wisdom and creative spirit, which have been a consistent source of inspiration throughout my life. Their counsel and encouragement continue to resonate within me, shaping my path and purpose. To my beloved wife, Magnola Gittens, your unwavering support has been my anchor in turbulent seas. Your love and understanding provide the strength necessary to navigate life’s complexities. I am eternally grateful for your presence, which comforts and uplifts me. To my brothers—Shurland, Charles, Ricardo, and my late brothers Arnott and Stephen—as well as my sisters, Emerald, Marcella, and Cheryl, thank you for being my steadfast companions along this journey. Each of you has contributed uniquely to my narrative, reminding me of the importance of family ties in shaping who I am today. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to my cousins: Joy Mayers, Kevin and Ernest Mayers, Donna Archer, Avis Dyer, and Jackie Clarke. Your love and camaraderie have enriched my life beyond measure. To my uncles, Clifford, Leonard Mayers, David Bruce, and Collin Rock, your support has been invaluable, strengthening the bonds of our family. To my children, Laron and Lisa, grandson Elijah you are my pride and joy, the motivation behind my work, fuelling my desire to create and inspire.Moreover, I am equally grateful to all who have believed in me and wanted nothing but the best for my growth. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Platizky, Mr. Matthew Sutton, Mr. Juan Arroyo, Mr. and Mrs. David Lavine, and many others have played pivotal roles in my development, encouraging me to pursue my passions relentlessly. During my time at New Jersey City University (NJCU), I had the privilege of receiving guidance from exceptional mentors, including the late Dr. Joseph Drew, Merline Mayers, Mrs. Ellen Gordon, Dr. Nicholas Gordon, Rev. Dr. Scofield Eversley BSS, and many others.
