A collection of some 60 articles on major events in the Caribbean struggle for freedom from the time of emancipation to the present, detailing post-slavery experiences in the Spanish, Dutch, English, and French Caribbean. Readings highlight the slow disintegration of the slave system, attempts by resident social groups and imperial agencies to adjust to freedom, and the maturing of nationalist consciousness in terms of constitutional and cultural independence.
