**Barbadian Brazilians** ([Portuguese](/source/Portuguese_language): *Barbadiano-brasileiro*) or **Bajans**, refers to Brazilian people of full, partial or predominantly [Barbadian](/source/Barbados) ancestry, or Barbadian-born people residing in [Brazil](/source/Brazil).

At the beginning of the 20th century, many Barbadians worked in the [Amazonas region](/source/Amazonas_(Peruvian_department)), [Pará](/source/Par%C3%A1) and [Rondônia](/source/Rond%C3%B4nia).[2][3] There had been a mass exodus from the Caribbean in order to take part in the rubber boom, and the poor socio-economic conditions in Barbados at the time made Brazil an enticing place to search for a better life. In 1911 [Roger Casement](/source/Roger_Casement) who was a British consular official at the time undertook a special investigation of the condition of Barbadian workers in the Putomayo Valley then part of Peru traveling to that region by going up the Amazon. [4] The Barbadian presence is still evidenced through some surnames of British origin found in Brazil, such as Alleyne, Mottley, Maloney, Depeiza, Blackman and Layne.[3]
