The history of the Lesser Antilles from the early colonial era through the end of slavery
This collection offers the only single-volume study in English of the Lesser Antilles from the time of Columbus to the abolition of slavery. The essays show how the Lesser Antilles in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were among the most densely populated and advanced economic zones in the world and how they served as stepping-stones for the expansion of the slave-based plantation system in the Americas.
Robert L. Paquette is president and executive director of The Alexander Hamilton Institute in Clinton, New York. He is coeditor of The Oxford Handbook of Slavery in the Americas and the author of Sugar Is Made with Blood: The Conspiracy of La Escalera and the Conflict between Empires over Slavery in Cuba, which won the Elsa Goveia Prize in Caribbean history.
