바하마 수도 나소에서 차로 1시간 거리, 원주민 마을 애들레이드가 자리하고 있다. 이곳에서 특별한 사람을 만나기로 했다. 그런데 마을 곳곳 빈집이 눈에 띈다. 화려한 관광지와는 다른 소박한 마을 모습이다. 오늘 만나기로 한 사람의 집이 멀리 보였다. “당신이 살고 있는 서울이라는 큰 도시와 비교하면 지금 계신 곳은 아주 작은 마을이라고 할 수 있습니다.” 그런데 집안으로 안내하던 아주머니가 갑자기 역정을 낸다. 그러더니 빗자루로 요란스레 현관을 쓸어낸다. “발을 털고 들어와요 발을 털고 들어와요. 신발 벗지 말고” 집안에 들어설 때 신발을 터는 영국식 예의를 유머러스하게 표현한 것이다. “우리의 과거를 잊었다면 앞으로 우리의 미래도 모를 것이다.” 과거를 기억하라는 말이 있다. 그녀는 사람들에게서 잊혀져간 바하마의 과거를 품안에 간직해왔다. 바하마 사람들의 생활을 말해주는 민속품들을 수집하고, 관심 있는 사람에게는 흔쾌히 내어주기도 한다. “할머니!! 여기 한국에서 온 백인 친구가 있는데 잠시 들어가도 될까요? 할머니께서 들어오시라고 하시네요.” 집안에는 아무도 없었다. 할머니는 이미 돌아가신 분이셨다. 그 시대의 물건들을 아직도 사용하는 듯 두고, 노인이 계신 양 긴장감을 주는 제스처다. “예전에는 천이 귀해서 방문객들이 놓고 간 천들로 젊은 아이들이 모여 앉아 이불을 만들었는데, 천이 부족해서 때론 완성하는데 2년이 걸리기도 했죠.” 소박하고 정갈한 모습, 어쩌면 이것이 바하마의 원래의 모습일지도 모른다. 이번엔 집 밖으로 안내하는 네티 아주머니. 낮은 언덕에는 예전 마을 사람들이 예배를 드리던 작은 교회가 있다. 작은 건물로 이끄는데. 전통 화장실이었다. 특이하게도 2인용이다. “어느 날인가 밤에 깨어서 무엇인가 새로운 일을 하고 싶다는 생각에 일을 진행하다보니 매번 새로운 것들을 발견하게 되었답니다.”

Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas, North America

Nassau is the capital and commercial centre of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. The city has an estimated population of 274,400 as of 2016, just over 70% of the population of the country (~391,000). Lynden Pindling International Airport, the major airport for the Bahamas, is located about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) west of Nassau city centre, and has daily flights to major cities in Canada, the Caribbean, the United Kingdom and the United States. The city is located on the island of New Providence, which functions much like a business district. Nassau is the site of the House of Assembly and various judicial departments and was considered historically to be a stronghold of pirates. The city was named in honour of William III of England, Prince of Orange-Nassau, deriving its name from Nassau, Germany. Nassau's modern growth began in the late eighteenth century, with the influx of thousands of American Loyalists and their slaves to the Bahamas following the American War of Independence. Many of them settled in Nassau (then and still the commerce capital of the Bahamas) and eventually came to outnumber the original inhabitants. As the population of Nassau grew, so did its populated areas. Today the city dominates the entire island and its satellite, Paradise Island. However, until the post-Second World War era, the outer suburbs scarcely existed. Most of New Providence was uncultivated bush until Loyalists were resettled there following the American Revolutionary War; they established several plantations, such as Clifton and Tusculum. Slaves were imported as labour.
After the British abolished the international slave trade in 1807, they resettled thousands of Africans liberated from slave ships by the Royal Navy on New Providence (at Adelaide Village and Gambier Village), along with other islands such as Grand Bahama, Exuma, Abaco and Inagua. In addition, slaves freed from American ships, such as the Creole case in 1841, were allowed to settle there. The largest concentration of Africans historically lived in the Over-the-Hill suburbs of Grants Town and Bain Town to the south of the city of Nassau, while most of the inhabitants of European descent lived on the island's northern coastal ridges.
