Islanders in the Stream: A History of the Bahamian People: Volume One: From Aboriginal Times to the End of Slavery
Written by a native archivist and a historian, this social history of the peoples of the Bahamian islands is unique. Non-Eurocentric in focus, it emphasizes the daily lives of the islanders through their own words and artifacts. The authors also depart from the usual approach to Caribbean history, refusing to treat all islands as the same in their characteristics and history. This work sets a standard for other islanders to aspire to in writing their own histories. A worthy addition to academic libraries and Caribbean collections.- Suzanne C. Garrison-Terry, Dowling Coll.
