Abstract

This ground-breaking study of the Anglophone Caribbean uses vast archival resources to recreate the region before it was systematically bound into Empire, and creates a new way of writing about the region to maximise the contribution made by indigenous, African and other non-elite actors while remaining restricted by the weight of evidence which is provided by the white elite.
