Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-07 00:00:00 Wade Murray The material is dated (1974; reprint 1989), but sadly, all of the issues continue to be a problem. The genocide of the indigenous tribes; the importation of African slaves; the later importation of Asians and East Indians as low-paid laborers; and the lateral movements from one island to another depending on plantation labor needs. The U.S. history of invasion, intervention, and attempts to impose control has also left its mark. Yet Mintz concludes that the Caribbean islands may end up leading the wave of independent identity which incorporates populations based on something other than the condition one is born into.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-01 00:00:00 Mark Sculley John Woolman was a Quaker lived in New Jersey before the Revolutionary War. Best known for his effective advocacy of anti-slavery among Quakers (who banned it among their members not long after his death). He was also a mystic and a remarkable St Francis type. This bio is gentle, slow moving, thoughtful.
