I recently took this off my shelf and thumbed through it cause I wasn't quite sure why I held onto it after college. I later remembered. I really enjoyed this book and learning about slavery in the Caribbean. I took a Slavery in the Americas class my last year of college and this book was part of the literature for that class. We had a guest speaker come in who was from Jamaica and was a Black History teacher at UW and he was the one who directed the lecture on slavery in the Caribbean. I don't remember the lecture and I'm sure I don't have my class notes anymore, but I do remember that it was a great class and I always looked forward to going (even though it was at 8am). The professor who actually taught the class recently won an award for this particular class curriculum; I went to a small college in the Pacific Northwest so it was a big enough deal that the school sent out special invites to all of the alumni to come to a special dinner being thrown in his honor. The year I took the class, it was experimental.
