Description

Highly acclaimed when it first gave the impression in 1990, this general history of Barbados traces the events and ideas that have shaped the collaborative experience of all of the islands inhabitants. On this second edition, Hilary Beckles updates the text to reflect the considerable choice of writings recently published on Barbados. He presents new insights and analyses key events in a lucid and provocative style in an effort to appeal to all individuals who have an interest within the island’s past and present. The use of a full of life approach, Hilary Beckles examines how the influences of the Amerindians, European colonisation, the sugar industry, the African slave trade, emancipation, the civil rights movement, independence in 1966 and nationalism have shaped up to date Barbados.
