Description

Ligon’s True and Exact History of the Island of Barbados is probably the most significant book-length English text written concerning the Caribbean within the seventeenth century. [It] allows one to see the contested process at the back of the making of the Caribbean sugar/African slavery complex. Kupperman is among the leading scholars of the early up to date Atlantic world. . . . I can’t bring to mind any scholar better prepared to jot down an Introduction that places Ligon, his text, and Barbados in an Atlantic historical context. The Introduction is moderately thorough, readable, and accurate; the notes [are] exemplary! –Susan Parrish, University of Michigan
