Notes:
309 p, Using the stories of ordinary people, Block illustrates how engaging with the powerful rhetoric and rituals of Christianity was central to survival. Isobel Criolla was a runaway slave in Cartagena who successfully lobbied the Spanish governor not to return her to an abusive mistress. Nicolas Burundel was a French Calvinist who served as henchman to the Spanish governor of Jamaica before his arrest by the Inquisition for heresy. Henry Whistler was an English sailor sent to the Caribbean under Oliver Cromwell's plan for holy war against Catholic Spain. Yaff and Nell were slaves who served a Quaker plantation owner, Lewis Morris, in Barbados. Seen from their on-the-ground perspective, the development of modern capitalism, race, and Christianity emerges as a story of negotiation, contingency, humanity, and the quest for community.

710 p, Examines the economic history of the Caribbean in the two hundred years since the Napoleonic Wars and is the first analysis to span the whole region.

Notes:
158 p, The book is divided into two sections. The first offers a political and historical overview, starting with the British presence in the region and the introduction of slavery and indentured labor, and continuing with the rise of nationalist movements, political leaders’ vision for their respective states, and economic development. The second section explores the region as an entity, including development at state and national levels, the historical background for regional unity from the West Indian Federation to CARICOM, and an evaluation on how well regionalism works today and could work in the future.
