This history of the modern Caribbean includes discussion of the complex interaction among major world powers in the area, from the British, Dutch, French and Spanish clashes through the Latin American wars of independence to the emergence of the United States as a colonial power in the late nineteenth century. This study integrates the recent political, economic and social history of the Caribbean Basin with its military and diplomatic past, charting this zone's emergence from colonialism during the course of the twentieth century. |
