General History of the Caribbean--UNESCO : The Complete Set

This is the most comprehensive history of the Caribbean ever published. The six volumes make essential reading for all concerned with Caribbean studies. The books are being compiled by teams of historians under the guidance of the International Advisory Scientific Committee of UNESCO. They integrate the historical experience of Caribbean society from the earliest times to the present day. Each volume is organised thematically in order to focus on the societies, cultures and activities of the Caribbean people throughout their troubled history.
