Empire's crossroads : the Caribbean from Columbus to the present day
Gibson, Carrie, 1976-, author2014 - 2015
In October 1492, an Italian-born, Spanish-funded navigator discovered a new world, thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean. In 'Empire's Crossroads', Carrie Gibson unfolds the story of the Caribbean from Columbus's first landing on the island he named San Salvador to today's islands; largely independent, but often still in thrall to Europe and America's insatiable desire for tropical luxuries.
