Title: Introduction to Special History PagesI haven't been able to read many of the books about the Caribbean written between the Civil War and the 1960s because of the overt racism that was simply taken for granted. Fenger's racism is tolerable.
If anyone has interesting material from that period that is not racist and can be scanned into something readable on the web, I'llbe happy to give it a try.
The article by Peter Hulme along with an unpublished talk by Hilary Bickels inspired this work by calling my attention to the dramatic history of the Caribs and the Garifuna. It is in sharp contrast to the official view from the US State Department which doesn't even mention the Caribs. Bickels' report on the Durban conference provided the viewpoint on history expressed in my essay.
There are some early illustrations that give a bit of insight into the artist and his subjects.
There is a booklet on the Caribs by Le Breton that was on the web without a copyright notice. It appears to be out of print on St. Vincent. If it is still under copyright I will remove it if someone tells me to.
There is a version of the Jesuit Massacre on the web along with the Le Breton booklet. As with Le Breton, if the copyright holder wants me to remove it I will be happy to do so.
The late Leonard Tim Hector wrote an interesting essay on Dr. Gonsalves' book which was put on the web. I wrote about copyright but never got an answer. I highly recommend his essays that are collected under the title "Fan The Flame".
I wrote an essay on Race and Racism that may be relevant. I'll revise it to make it more relevant sometime in the future. It is available on the web but I forgot where so you'll have to search for it.
