Description: Caribbean History Core Course is the first of five volumes and it presents an overview of the history of the New World beginning with the migration of the first people into the American continent and continues up until the twenty first century. It probes into the various traditional and non-traditional theories explaining the origins of the indigenous people of the region and their subsequent spread, settlement and geographic location southwards to the Equator and across the Caribbean.
	The Renaissance in Europe triggered a series of exploratory voyages that led to the coming of the Europeans into the New World. This significantly impacted on the course of historical development in the Western Hemisphere. The text analyzes New World history within the perspective of World history. European colonization changed the economic base and structure of the region, resulted in the decimation of the indigenous population, the destruction of indigenous culture; the trafficking of Africans and their enslavement in colonial plantation societies in the New World. 
The text evaluates the experiences of Africans in the Diaspora and immigration against the background of the expansion of plantation societies, the nationalist move towards independence and the emergence of the United States and its neo- imperialist thrust in the region. It traces the socio-economic, political and cultural development of the Caribbean, United States and Latin America up until the present.
