They explore methods such as forceful removal and government-backed contracts designated to relocate residents. Practices similar to these are common across the Caribbean where construction is rarely designed to positively impact the residents who call the islands their home. Shortcuts are made with the sole intention of making as much money as possible for future tourists, and often these decisions are backed by the government. The system was put in place by colonial powers and now exhibits characteristics of neocolonialism to this day.
