ABSTRACT
Gittens, W. A. (2026). In Traveling across the Atlantic from Barbados to Rome, Cyprus, Israel, Messina Sicily, and Turkey, (2026), Dr. William Anderson Gittens undertakes a transcontinental exploration of historical landmarks, interweaving personal reflections with cultural and architectural analysis. The book examines sites such as the Colosseum in Rome, Farley Hill National Park in Barbados, the Limassol Medieval Castle in Cyprus, and the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey, emphasizing their historical, social, and political significance. Gittens’ work highlights the interplay of past and present in the preservation and cultural interpretation of these sites, revealing complex layers of historical narrative. Notably, the text extends this exploration to monuments with profound social and symbolic resonance, including the Homeless Jesus statue in Capernaum, Israel, and the Emancipation Statue in Barbados. Dr. Gittens,D.D. interprets these statues as embodiments of suffering, liberation, and human dignity, framing them as markers of memory that provoke reflection on systemic inequality and societal responsibility. The analysis illustrates how monuments facilitate engagement with collective memory, community identity, and social justice, emphasizing their continued relevance in promoting empathy, historical awareness, and the pursuit of freedom and equality. This work contributes to scholarship on art, history, and social justice, offering insights into the role of public monuments in shaping cultural consciousness.
