Calypso, Voodoo, Sunshine, Communism, Reggae, Colonialism, The
Slave Trade, Rum, Revolution, Industry and Tourism 100 years of the
Caribbean image and identity is captured in this deluxe new
hardback photography book. The image of the Caribbean is as much a
creation of the outsider as it is the complex identity of its
people a melting pot of races created out of the participants in
the 400 year slave trade enforced Africans, indigenous Americans
and their colonisers French, Spanish, German, Dutch, English. The
identity of the Caribbean stands at this intersection of tourism,
the detritus of the slave trade, colonialism and tropicality. The
regions politics span a hot bed of ideas and radicalism from
Castros Cuba, communist thorn in the side of North America, to the
violent right-wing dictatorship of Haitis Papa Doc in the 1960s;
from Manleys Jamaica in the 1970s to Eric Williams Trinidad in the
1960s. This book is a deluxe large format hardback book featuring
100s of fascinating and unique photographs that span one hundred
years of Caribbean history, culture, industry and more as well as
the subsequent diaspora of its people to America, England and
elsewhere. The photographs show the many ways in which the region
is portrayed from luscious and tropical backdrop of tourism and
hedonism, to colonial outpost and revolutionary threat within North
Americas own backyard.
