For the great majority, past and present--slaves, indentured laborers, peasants and workers, the unemployed--the region's subjection to external control has meant systematic hardship and social injustice. in this survey of economic development in the Caribbean, Clive Thomas traces the history of colonialism and neocolonialism from the perspective of this majority.
