2 v., "It includes what is probably the most reliable version of the Laws of Burgos in print (the comparable text of the New Laws appears, however, only in fragmentary form). It fills lacunae in the details of imperial policies for encomienda, native labor, slavery, cacicazgos, and ethnosocial relationships, especially of the latter sixteenth century." --Charles Gibson (JSTOR)

Notes:
2 vols., Excerpt from Five Years' Residence in the West Indies, Vol. 1:
I Should have dedicated this work to one of the kindest men and best Governors that the West Indies ever had ... but that his Excellency was afraid of my truthful revelations. He had seen, and heard read, parts of my MS., and had observed, "I am sorry to say that what you have written is but too true; yet at home they are not aware of it, though it deserves to be made known to all England; but, there, it will not be believed." Why not believed? - because Policy, not Truth, governs the world; and the West Indies in particular; so we have all but given up these magnificent islands to the barbarian, to lapse once more into a mere lair for the negro - not to the aboriginal inhabitant, but to a savage ten times worse, brought four thousand miles to repress the civilization which otherwise might, by a possibility, have flourished there. "The Ethiop cannot change his skin, nor the white man amalgamate with the black."

Notes:
316 p., Martinique-born Afro-Caribbean psychiatrist analyzes the psychology of the colonized and their path to liberation. Bearing singular insight into the rage of colonized peoples and the role of violence in historical change, the book also attacks post-independence disenfranchisement of the masses by the elite on one hand, and inter-tribal and interfaith animosities on the other.

Translation of Peau noire, masques blancs., 232 p, "Fanon, born in Martinique and educated in France, is generally regarded as the leading anti-colonial thinker of the 20th century. His first book is an analysis of the impact of colonial subjugation on the black psyche. It is a very personal account of Fanon's experience being black: as a man, an intellectual, and a party to a French education." (Adapted from wikipedia.org)

373 p, Explores the abolition of African slavery in Spanish Cuba from 1817 to 1886—from the first Anglo-Spanish agreement to abolish the slave trade until the removal from Cuba of the last vestige of black servitude.

Originally published: London, J. Cape, 1937., 398 p, When the British Parliament in 1833 freed the slaves, it provided for a transitional period of apprenticeship for the liberated negroes. This monograph shows details how this plan was worked out, especially in Jamaica, where Governor and Assembly were on bad terms, the planters were often harsh and the negroes turbulent, and the Special magistrates imported to supervise the scheme were not always equal to their task.
