The first complete history of the Caribbean islands--updated
through the year 2000.
This comprehensive volume takes the reader and student through
more than five hundred years of Caribbean history, beginning with
Columbus''s arrival in the Bahamas in 1492. A Brief History of the
Caribbean traces the people and events that have marked this
constantly shifting region, encompassing everything from economic
booms and busts to epidemics, wars, and revolutions, and bringing
to life such important figures as Sir Francis Drake, Blackbeard,
Toussaint Louverture, Fidel Castro, the Duvaliers, and
Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
This superbly written history, revised and updated, with new
chapters that reflect the islands'' most recent social, economic,
and political developments, is a work of impeccable scholarship.
Featuring maps, charts, tables, and photographs, it remains the
ideal guide to the region and its people.
"A veritable sourcebook of information . . . analysis,
description, interpretation . . . interesting and useful."--Library
Journal
