PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
By the widely published late prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago, this authoritative book is a history of the Caribbean from first European contact to the turbulent 1960s. Its focus is on the dynamics of change. First published in 1971, it has become a standard reference for the region, fact-filled and balanced. The history of the Caribbean is the history of sugar and Williams marshals plenty of evidence for his story of slavery and economic exploitation.
