The Caribbean Irish explores the little known fact that the Irish
were amongst the earliest settlers in the Caribbean. They became
colonisers, planters and merchants living in the British West
Indies between 1620 and 1800 but the majority of them arrived as
indentured servants. This book explores their lives and poses the
question, were they really slaves? As African slaves started
arriving en masse and taking over servants' tasks, the role of the
Irish gradually diminished. But the legacy of the Caribbean Irish
still lives on.
