The Caribbean People has been the best JS History course in and for the Caribbean for some time, as well as being an excellent read for the interested layman. This new edition takes account of the developments since 1995, such as for example the increased presence of the Lebanese. It includes a new chapter on Caribbean culture and more detail on Caribbean agriculture. There will be exercises to help students prepare for the School Based Assessment (SBA), now a core element of assessment at CXC, in which students have to complete a project involving extensive research.

The Maroons (escaped slaves) of Jamaica are famous. Not so the Maroons of another Caribbean island - Dominica, also a former British colony. Dominica’s Maroons once controlled much of this wild and mountainous island but few details of their story of resistance and ultimate defeat have been known - until now. Written by Dominica’s leading historian, In the Forests of Freedom is a stirring account of how a displaced and enslaved people challenged the British empire in their struggle to create a free and self-sufficient society. From the Africans who took refuge on the island in the 16th century, through the two brutal Maroon Wars in the last decades of slavery, to the building of a post-emancipation nation, In the Forests of Freedom takes the reader deep into the hinterland of the Dominica story.

"I am honoured as a Kalinago leader to be part of this wonderful work as it relates to the history of our people,” says Irvince Auguiste, former Kalinago Chief.What happened to the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean in the wake of the European adventurers who claimed to have “discovered” them? While in some parts of the region they were decimated within a generation, others, such as the Kalinagos of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles, resisted the onslaught. This is the first book to examine the long story - from pre-Columbian times to the present day - of the Kalinagos. Written by a Dominican whose knowledge of the Kalinagos is unsurpassed, in remarkable detail it sheds new light on how they have shifted identities from the early years of resistance, through tactical retreat to eventual revival of Kalinago tradition into the 21st century.
