Title: Larry Z is right
Review: I have to agree with Larry Z, this book is horrible. Due to the scarcity of books on Caribbean history I thought this book would be a great addition to my library, I was wrong. Rogozinski's perspective on the history of the caribbean is definitely from a conservative american view, and at times seems racially biased and eurocentric.I would love to read a history of the Caribbean that includes some Caribbean influenced nations like Guyana, Belize, and Panama, that are definitely extensions of West Indian culture and share the same history. If you are a West Indian or interested in the history of the West Indies this book is not for you. If you are a eurocentric thinker and looking for another skewed history of a people then this book is for you.
