Description: "Collection of seven papers mostly new, refreshing perspectives on the Island Caribs of the Windward Islands. Drawn from ethnohistory, archaeology, linguistics, ethnology, critical theory, and cross-cultural comparisons, the papers reinvent the Island Carib, whose culture had become stultified as the war-like 'cannibal' opponents of the 'peaceful Arawaks.'"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
