- Summary
- Scholars of the social sciences and humanities offer a broad view that can serve as the core text for an introductory course on the Caribbean and Caribbean politics, or as background reading for visitors. Rather than looking at particular nations, they consider the region as whole from such perspectives as geography, history, the economies international relations, literature and popular culture, and the diaspora.
