Description
A sweeping, accessible history of a small nation with a mighty story.
A History of St. Vincent and the Grenadines traces the islands’ journey from the earliest Ciboney and Arawak settlers to the rise of the Caribs and Black Caribs (Garifuna), through slavery and the plantation economy, colonial wars and resistance under Chief Joseph Chatoyer, and the hard-won road to independence in 1979. Blending engaging narrative with careful documentation, it illuminates defining places and moments—Kingstown and Fort Charlotte, the Carib Wars, the La Soufrière eruptions, Vincy Mas, and the Garifuna diaspora—while honoring the resilience and cultural richness that shape Vincentian identity today.
Perfect for general readers, students, and Caribbean history enthusiasts, this book offers a comprehensive, pride-affirming account of struggle, survival, and triumph in the “Gems of the Antilles.”
