Recensioner i media
Gad Heuman's short study of Caribbean history and culture from the Columbian conquest to the present day is easily the best brief introduction to this fascinating region. This new second edition is most welcome. It adds significant new sections on indigenous Caribbean societies and on culture and politics in the modern Caribbean as well as astute updates on traditional topics like plantation, slavery and decolonization. Highly recommended.
