About this title

Review:

"A survey of the current state of study of indigenous Caribbean people by archaeologists, historians, and anthropologists. . . . Emphasizes that even though indigenous people were the victims of genocide, they helped to establish a persistent pattern of relations between other Caribbean settlers and their environment, and became central symbols of Caribbean identity and resistance to colonialism. . . . Strongly recommended for every library concerned with Caribbean and Native American studies." -- Choice

From the Back Cover:

This volume brings together nineteen Caribbean specialists who provide an authoritative picture of the region's indigenous peoples -- their social organization, religion, language, lifeways, and contribution to the culture of their modern descendants -- in what is ultimately a comprehensive reader on Caribbean archaeology, ethnohistory, and ethnology.
