Recenzii

'Anyone embarking on a history of the Caribbean is faced with a complexity of problems. What, for a start, do you mean by the Caribbean? And how do you provide a chronological and analytical narrative that embraces widely divergent geographies, nationalities, and peoples over, say, a millennium? If any single historian is qualified to tackle the topic, [B. W.] Higman is surely the best … A Concise History of the Caribbean is a rare book – an important study for all students of the Caribbean, but with a resonance that goes well beyond the Caribbean itself.' James Walvin, New West Indian Guide
'Higman's is the most up-to-date and comprehensive study of the history of the Caribbean from the Tainos to the contemporary period. Authoritative, thoughtful and meticulously researched, it is essential reading for all scholars of Caribbean history.' Patrick Bryan, English Historical Review
