description: This book covers the ex- British Caribbean colonies from the early years and extends over the time of Spanish and British colonial rule. It includes the period of slavery, the rise and fall of the sugar industry, and the resulting social and civil unrest that occurred in these colonies. The book also examines the education challenges these colonies face and will be facing in the globalized knowledge-based world economy of the 21st century. In addition, the study also analyzes the relationship between changes in the social, economic, and political structures of these societies and the supply, demand, and quality of education offered by their schools. The countries stretch from Belize to Guyana and include Jamaica, the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Leeward Islands (St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, Montserrat, Antigua, Barbuda Dominica, and the British Virgin Islands), the Windward Islands (St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Grenada, and the Grenadines), Barbados, Trinidad, and Tobago.
