A Brief History of the Caribbean is an overview of the historical
events that have taken place and shaped the islands of the
Caribbean Sea - beginning with an account of the indigenous
populations before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492 and
ending with the major political and economic developments in early
2007 in Aruba, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and
Puerto Rico, among others.The historical perspective is enriched by
allusions to the culture, manners, and morals of particular
periods, often highlighting the connection between literary
activities and politics, such as the Negritude Movement, and
literary figures and politicians, such as Juan Bosch in the
Dominican Republic. Complementing the narrative are sidebars with
important and unusual information on topics such as women pirates,
meals eaten by slaves, and the cultural preference for strong
leaders in the region. The authors attempt to give readers a
multicultural perspective that will allow them to understand events
from both an insider's and an outsider's viewpoints.
