It brings together a range of classic and innovative articles and primary sources, to create an introduction to Caribbean political, economic, social and cultural currents, providing an important first reference point to scholars and students alike., The Caribbean History Reader provides a thorough and up-to-date overview of Caribbean history from the pre-Columbian era to the present.
