Creolization

[5] As consequence to slavery and the different power relations between different races creolization became synonymous with Creole, often of which was used to distinguish the master and the slave.

[3] With globalization, creolization has undergone a "remapping of worlds regions",[3] or as Orlando Patterson would explain, "the creation of wholly new cultural forms in the transnational space, such as 'New Yorican' and Miami Spanish".

[3] New sites of creolizations continue the ongoing ethics of the sharing of the world that has now become a global discourse which is rooted in English and French Caribbean.

Creole cooking pulls heavily from French and Spanish influences due to their colonization in the 1600s through the mid to late 1900s.

They also draw influence from their African roots and a different mixture of Native American tribe cooking methods.

[7] The popular religions of Haiti, Cuba, Trinidad, and Brazil formed from the mixing of African and European elements.

Catholicism came with the European colonization of the Caribbean, which led to the heavy influence of its practices upon the already existing religion.

[11] Religious beliefs such as Vaudou in Haiti, Santeria in Cuba, Shango in Trinidad, and Candomblé in Brazil take its roots from creolization.
