A Traveler's History of the Caribbean (Traveler's History)
by James Ferguson
ISBN: 1566562821

Reviews: Amazon.com
"There are plenty of guides to Caribbean resorts and beaches, but this is the only one dedicated to the region's literary treasures. James Ferguson provides a general introduction to each of 20 island groups, plus a book list, poetry and prose extracts, and notes (biographical and literary) on the authors whose works are extracted. The extracts provide a literary smorgasbord that give an interesting view of each island, and more importantly, help you decide which poets and authors must be part of your trip."

Description: " The Caribbean, a region of spectacular natural beauty, has a turbulent history of colonialism, slavery and resistance in which people from all continents have played their part, A Traveler's History of the Caribbean looks at the history of nations as different as Cuba, Jamaica and Haiti, explaining their diversity and their common experiences. It reveals a region in which a tumultuous past has created a culturally vibrant and intriguing present. James Ferguson is a researcher at the Latin America Bureau in London and a former Research Fellow at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford.
