Summary

The author presents new insights and analyses key events in a lucid and provocative style which will appeal to all those who have an interest in the island's past and present. Hilary Beckles examines how the influences of the Amerindians, European colonisation, the sugar industry, the African slave trade, emancipation, the civil rights movement, independence in 1966 and nationalism have shaped contemporary Barbados. A History of Barbados speaks to the slavery past as passionately as it does to the considerable success of this small nation finding its way in a turbulent, globalised world.
