Notes:
361 p, The general purpose of this book is to give an analysis of the political sociology of the Caribbean islands and the seas around them from about 1750 to about 1900. The central argument is a familiar one, that plan tations (especially sugar plantations) created a slave society, which created racism in politics and daily life (see, e.g., Knight (1990 [1978]), pp. 3–192).;
