The Caribbean, a region of spectacular natural beauty, has a turbulent history of colonialism, slavery and resistance in which people from all continents have played their part. Tracing the islands' path from slavery to revolution and independence, A Traveller's History of the Caribbean looks at the history of nations as different as Cuba, Jamaica and Haiti, explaining their diversity and their common experiences. It reveals a region in which a tumultuous past has created a culturally vibrant and intriguing present.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Exceptional...a necessity for the tourist whose tastes are broader than pink sands...an excellent portrait of the Caribbean.-- "ForeWord"<br><br>The author, James Ferguson, has his research antennae finely tuned to the politics of Latin America and the Caribbean and his book will provide a valuable reference tool for students as well as travellers...the sweep of early Caribbean history is given a sustained and detailed examination, unexpected in a slim volume meant only to edify the traveller. Indeed the whole book is a work of considerable scholarship...-- "Weekly Gleaner"<br>
