This review is from: A Turbulent Time: The French Revolution and the Greater Caribbean (Blacks in the Diaspora) (Paperback)
This book covers the effects of the French Revolution on the Caribbean and how it affected movements for independence later on. In addition to covering the larger islands like Hati and Santo Domingo it also covers smaller ones such as St. Lucia and mainland USA. Both Spanish Florida and Louisiana are covered in their moves from slave holding territories to a part of the United States still holding slaves. Some of the racial tensions that were prevalent throughout the time are clearly shown in the contrasts between the various classes and races on the islands. The multitude of authors who contribute are all fine scholars and do an excellent job of conveying their areas of expertise. For those looking to get a start on understanding how the French Revolution put the Caribbean on the path to modernity this is the best place to start.
