Highly acclaimed when it first appeared in 1990, this general
history of Barbados traces the events and ideas that have shaped
the collaborative experience of all the islands inhabitants. In
this second edition, Hilary Beckles updates the text to reflect the
considerable number of writings recently published on Barbados. He
presents new insights and analyses key events in a lucid and
provocative style which will appeal to all those who have an
interest in the island's past and present. Using a vigorous
approach, Hilary Beckles examines how the influences of the
Amerindians, European colonisation, the sugar industry, the African
slave trade, emancipation, the civil rights movement, independence
in 1966 and nationalism have shaped contemporary Barbados.
