On this compelling historical past Carrie Gibson unfolds the complicated story of the Caribbean from Columbus’ first touchdown on the island he named San Salvador to as we speak’s islands – largely unbiased, however typically nonetheless in thrall to Europe and America’s insatiable need for tropical luxuries. For Gibson, the guts of that story is ‘the genius of adaptation’ – to diaspora, illness, slavery, racism, earthquake, poverty and tourism – that enabled the West Indies to outlive a conflict of worlds.
