Dr. Hubert Alexander Minnis and many other supporters all contributed to the evolution of The Bahamas as we know today.

The present work concludes the important and monumental undertaking of Islanders in the Stream: A History of the Bahamian People, creating the most thorough and comprehensive history yet written of a Caribbean country and its people. In the first volume Michael Craton and Gail Saunders traced the developments of a unique archipelagic nation from aboriginal times to the period just before emancipation. This long-awaited second volume offers a description and interpretation of the social developments of the Bahamas in the years from 1830 to the present. Volume Two divides this period into three chronological sections, dealing first with adjustments to emancipation by former masters and former slaves between 1834 and 1900, followed by a study of the slow process of modernization between 1900 and 1973 that combines a systematic study of the stimulus of social change, a candid examination of current problems, and a penetrating but sympathetic analysis of what makes the Bahamas and Bahamians distinctive in the world. This work is an eminent product of the New Social History, intended for Bahamians, others interested in the Bahamas, and scholars alike. It skillfully interweaves generalizations and regional comparisons with particular examples, drawn from travelers' accounts, autobiographies, private letters, and the imaginative reconstruction of official dispatches and newspaper reports. Lavishly illustrated with contemporary photographs and original maps, it stands as a model for forthcoming histories of similar small ex-colonial nations in the region.

Bearing in mind the complex and multiple legacies of slavery and colonialism, particularly as they present themselves in the African Caribbean, Turner addresses what he sees as a fundamental but underexplored phenomenon: Self-Negation. He defines this as the tendency for persons living in the aftermath of slavery and colonialism to ""not"" like themselves, or to live with a dissonance in their identity. This problem is particularly seen in the relationship between the Church and African indigenous religious heritages within the region. Using the Bahamas as the site for qualitative research and theological reflection, he explores the complex relationship between the Church and Junkanoo, an African Caribbean street festival. Whilst Bahamians eagerly participate in both spheres, it is the common belief that Church is sacred and Junkanoo is secular, and the two should never mix. Turner theorizes that the theological root of the issue is the kinds of colonial hermeneutics that still inform church and cultural practices. Whilst Self-Negation is perpetuated by a hermeneutic of dichotomy, Turner proposes a counter, a hermeneutic of embrace, that takes African indigenous cultural heritages seriously and brings wholeness to the kinds of religious and cultural identities within postcolonial and post-slavery societies.

Philanthropy is commonly depicted as a universal practice and is either valued for supporting community transformation or critiqued for limiting social justice. However, dominant definitions and even popular connotations tend to privilege wealthy Western approaches. Using the Caribbean as a rich site of observance and concentrating on the island nation-state of The Bahamas, Get Involved! uncovers the hidden and under-documented activities of “philanthropy from below,” revealing a broader conception of philanthropy and civil society, especially within Black and other historically marginalized populations. Kim Williams-Pulfer draws on narrative analysis from enslavement to the current post-post-colonial moment, depicting the repertoires and practices of primarily Afro-Bahamians through the stories emerging from history (including the transnational observations of Zora Neale Hurston, social movements, and political and social institution building), the arts (from Junkanoo, literature, and visual practices), to the lived experiences of contemporary civil society leaders. Get Involved! shows the long history and continued significance of civil society and philanthropic engagement in The Bahamas, the circum-Caribbean, and the wider African Diaspora. Junkanoo is the national cultural festival of The Bahamas. It fosters a sense of community pride, identity, companionship, spirituality and unity.

Tourism has been the vehicle which has enabled The Bahamas to make the transition from a simple economy based on fishing, privateering and a failing sponge industry, to a sophisticated modern economy. Tourism, accounting for as much as 70% of national income, 50% of total employment and 40% of government revenue, is the bedrock of the Bahamas economy. For five decades, The Bahamas has been the regional model in tourism. This publication attempts to trace the development of tourism from the arrival of the first visitor, Christopher Columbus, in 1492 up to the beginning of the 21st century. The story of Bahamas tourism is presented against the background of world tourism and regional trends. It highlights the marketing and product initiatives of outstanding visionaries who have led the industry since the establishment of the Bahamas Development Board and the Ministry of Tourism. It also discusses the outlook and challenges facing the region in the next decade as well as the socio-economic impact of tourism on the local community, including some of the negative impacts suffered in the Bahamas as a result of the concentration on tourism as the main industry. Comprising 12 chapters and 12 appendices with comprehensive statistics as well as a Glossary of Travel Terms, it is the most complete documentation of Bahamas Tourism ever written. It is illustrated with over 300 photographs. It is no doubt the most authoritative publication of its kind. "Mrs. Cleare has chronicled with details the effect on the Bahamian community of the income from tourism which over the years has become the major industry of The Bahamas, and has from being viewed with skepticism by the greater Caribbean been embraced with regional enthusiasm. A unique feature of the History of Tourism is Ms. Cleare's list of those whom she calls Tourism Giants and Stalwarts of the Twentieth Century, who contributed to the place which the industry holds in the economy, its social life and its politics. Mrs. Cleare has made a major contribution to the History of The Bahamas for which we all should thank her." -Hon. Paul L. Adderley-
