Descripción
Sumario:This is a unique history of the major Caribbean countries of Haiti and Jamaica from the 19th to the early 20th centuries expressed through the connections in their histories. The book explores simultaneously the post-slavery evolution of two once wealthy islands in close proximity as well as their place in a world dominated by great powers that alternately neglected and asserted control over them. It shows that the connections between Haiti and Jamaica grew both deeper and more complicated as the 19th century wore on and helped to shape the futures of each of these two major Caribbean nations.
