New Release Traces the History of the Caribbean Islands and Suggests Their Future; Book by Paul J. Erriah, Released by Dog Ear Publishing
The Caribbean has historically been the first “New World” stop for people living on the East and West coasts of the Atlantic Ocean since Christopher Columbus anchored there in 1492 in what he called Hispaniola. The book offers a political and historical overview of the region's history, as well as exploring the region as an entity, including development at state and national levels.
Jamaica Estates, NY, April 01, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Caribbean has historically been the first “New World” stop for people living on the East and West coasts of the Atlantic Ocean since Christopher Columbus anchored there in 1492 in what he called Hispaniola. The Spanish Colonial Empire became a colonization model for other European countries for the next 400 years. Interest in sugar cane fueled the introduction of African slavery when natives rebelled, and English planters emerged as a wealthy and powerful force. Sugar and plantation policies continued to shape the islands’ economics, society and politics.
In Quo Vadis, published by Dog Ear Publishing, the author tackles this complicated topic by dividing his book into two sections. The first offers a political and historical overview, starting with the British presence in the region and the introduction of slavery and indentured labor, and continuing with the rise of nationalist movements, political leaders’ vision for their respective states, and economic development. The second portion of the book explores the region as an entity, including development at state and national levels, the historical background for regional unity from the West Indian Federation to CARICOM, and an evaluation on how well regionalism works today and could work in the future. Thus, the lead in the title, "Quo Vadis," asking where is the Caribbean area heading from now and the future.
