Brief History of the Caribbean From the Arawak and the Carib to the Present
Provides good information on the social, political and economic history of Caribbean, including Cuba, Puerto Rico and Jamaican. Definitely a good starting point . But also appears to be written from a "westerner-white-mans" perspective. Therefore, outside of slavery , issues of race relations and cultural identity will be missing or limited. You will need other books to dig deeper, but good book to start with.
