On The Shoulders of Giants: The Caribbean (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781678169268)

How do you feel that for centuries, educators have purposely miseducated you about black history and the history of the Caribbean? Just think about it. When was the last time (or first time) you learned anything about the history of the Caribbean? You didn't even learn about the Haitian Revolution in your classes. So the question is what will you do about it? No worries. Because this book will guide you to the information you need. In On the Shoulders of Giants Vol: 4 The Caribbean, Joseph Ward eliminates any remaining narratives about Christopher Columbus and his "discovery" of the Americas. Joseph introduces you to two indigenous Caribbean cultures that existed well before Columbus was born. He also features the biographies of eighteen sung and unsung heroes who represent various Caribbean islands, that used their talents to fight for a liberated future for themselves and their people. On the Shoulders of Giants Vol: 4 The Caribbean features: ● Caribbean women who fought in the various revolts, and the woman who trained the Haitian leader Jean Jacques Dessalines to fight. ● Writer, thinkers, authors, and poets, who sparked an intellectual revolution in the Caribbean, contributed to the Harlem Renaissance and founded the 1st Pan-African Conference. ● An Afro-Latino musician and her musical friends created Salsa music while promoting Afro-Latino culture. ● Stories of the first inhabitants of the Caribbean to encounter and fight Christopher Columbus and other colonizers. You are guaranteed to learn something new about history from reading this black history book. You are guaranteed to understand that enslaved Africans and indigenous Americans always fought for their freedom and a better future for their people.
