"Most of the inhabitants of the West Indies migrated or were transported there from the Old World, and brought with them their own religious beliefs, languages and social customs. Their history is a rich and colorful one, but hitherto it has been chronicled chiefly as an appendix to other histories -- in terms of the strong political, economic and social ties of the West Indies with Europe, and in the light of influences exerted by the neighboring American mainland. This present work is especially valuable in that it provides an authoritative and illuminating introduction to West Indian history proper up to modern times -- a history which far from being any longer a minor theme in the story of other nations, is today recognized to be of great importance and worthy of detailed study in its own right. The book deals not only with the peoples, but with their physical surroundings also, including the wide variety of animals and plants. The illustrations consist of sixteen art plates. Since the first publication of A Short History of the West Indies, major political changes have taken place in the Caribbean area. The first edition was published in 1958. The second edition traced the story to the summer of 1962, the eve of the missile crisis. The third edition brings the account up to 1970, describing a decade of dramatic change, including the virtual end of British rule in the Caribbean ; the independence of Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago ; Castro's consolidation of the Cuban revolution ; the triumph of the pro-statehood party, the New Progressive Party, in Puerto Rico ; the emergence of Black Power groups, and national efforts at regional co-operation."--Page 4 of cover.

First published in 1996, this insightful and informative text examines the post-emancipation and recent economic history of the Commonwealth Caribbean. Jay R. Mandle offers an explanation of the region’s continuing underdevelopment. Through the use of an analytical framework derived from the works of Marx and Kuznets, the book focuses attention on technological change as the driving force behind economic modernization. Persistent Underdevelopment begins by exploring how plantation agriculture had a limiting effect on industrial growth. Ultimately, plantation dominance receded; technological stagnation continued, however, and, under British colonial policy the Caribbean failed to modernise. The post-World War II era brought new efforts at modernisation through the economic policies of the left regimes of Manley, Burnham and Bishop. The concluding chapters point the way to policies that would enable the Caribbean to escape its current poverty and become an effective participant in world markets, finally achieving the goal of modern economic development.

Main Currents in Caribbean Thought probes deeply into the multicultural origins of Caribbean society, defining and tracing the evolution of the distinctive ideology that has arisen from the region’s unique historical mixture of peoples and beliefs. Among the topics that noted scholar Gordon K. Lewis covers are the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century beginnings of Caribbean thought, pro- and antislavery ideologies, the growth of Antillean nationalist and anticolonialist thought during the nineteenth century, and the development of the region’s characteristic secret religious cults from imported religions and European thought. Since its original publication in 1983, Main Currents in Caribbean Thought has remained one of the most ambitious works to date by a leader in modern Caribbean scholarship. By looking into the “Caribbean mind,” Lewis shows how European, African, and Asian ideas became creolized and Americanized, creating an entirely new ideology that continues to shape Caribbean thought and society today.

First published by UNC Press in 1972, Sugar and Slaves presents a vivid portrait of English life in the Caribbean more than three centuries ago. Using a host of contemporary primary sources, Richard Dunn traces the development of plantation slave society in the region. He examines sugar production techniques, the vicious character of the slave trade, the problems of adapting English ways to the tropics, and the appalling mortality rates for both blacks and whites that made these colonies the richest, but in human terms the least successful, in English America. "A masterly analysis of the Caribbean plantation slave society, its lifestyles, ethnic relations, afflictions, and peculiarities.--Journal of Modern History "A remarkable account of the rise of the planter class in the West Indies. . . . Dunn's [work] is rich social history, based on factual data brought to life by his use of contemporary narrative accounts.--New York Review of Books "A study of major importance. . . . Dunn not only provides the most solid and precise account ever written of the social development of the British West Indies down to 1713, he also challenges some traditional historical cliches.--American Historical Review
