Philip Boucher analyzes the images--and the realities--of European relations with the people known as Island Caribs during the first three centuries after Columbus. Based on literary sources, travelers' observations, and missionary accounts, as well as on French and English colonial archives and administrative correspondence, Cannibal Encounters offers a vivid portrait of a troubled chapter in the history of European-Amerindian relations.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"A strong contribution to our understanding of the interplay not only between France and Britain in the struggle for the Antilles but also between the colonizers and the indigenous people fighting to maintain their independence from both European powers." -- American Historical Review
Review
"No one has mined the French National Archives to this extent on this topic. Boucher renders valuable information accessible to English readers." -- Robert A. Myers, Alfred University
