Beskrivning

The Indigenous peoples of the Lesser Antilles used the sea and waterways to sow a diaspora across the Caribbean basin and beyond. Their histories all-too-often reflect colonial viewpoints and stereotypes dating back to the region's imperial era. Paula Prescod edits a collection of studies that examine the intermingling and interdependencies of indigenous Caribbean populations and the groups they encountered following the European conquest of the Americas. Works in the first section explore the historical entwinement of the Indigenous, European, and African populations thrown together in the region, and the agency and power each group invested in itself to survive. In part two, contributors illuminate the complex and dynamic natures of interrelatedness and identification of the descendants of Indigenous populations while seeing the Carib, Kalinago, and Garifuna peoples as a heterogeneous group.An overdue and wide-ranging reconsideration, The Carib, Kalinago, and Garifuna Peoples presents an invaluable collection of multidisciplinary studies that reposition the three groups' history and experiences.
