One of the British Empire's most isolated and poorest colonies, the
Bahamas has never quite seen itself as part of the British West
Indies nor vice versa. Although the Bahamas had class tensions
similar to those found in other British colonial lands, Gail
Saunders shows that racial tensions did not necessarily parallel
those across the West Indies so much as they mirrored those
occurring in the United States-with political power and money
consolidated in the hands of the white minority. Saunders argues
that close proximity to the United States and geographic isolation
from the rest of the British colonies created a uniquely Bahamian
interaction among racial groups. Focusing on the period from the
1880s to the 1960s, Saunders trains her lens on the nature of
relations among groups including whites, people who identified as
creole or mixed race, and liberated Africans.
