A Traveller's History of the Caribbean | James Ferguson
1 post
"A concise and authoritative history of the entire region covering the larger nations of the Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Trinidad and Tobago as well as the smaller islands of the Eastern Caribbean and the French, British, and Dutch territories. Tracing the islands' path from slavery to revolution and independence, A Traveller's History of the Caribbean looks at the history of countries as different as Cuba, Jamaica, and Haiti, exploring their diversity and their common experiences. It reveals a region in which a tumultuous past has created a culturally vibrant and intriguing present."--BOOK JACKET.
Trying to read more about the Bahamas since it's my next vacation spot and where half of my family is from, but every Caribbean history book seems to have the same opinion as 16th century Spanish explorers/exploiters.
