- Synopsis
- Trinidad is one of the more interesting countries to study. It began as a place where arawak indians lived. It was a Spanish colony till near the end of the eighteenth century. When it became a British colony, at that time, most of its inhabitants were French, Spanish and, of course, slaves from Africa. When slavery ended, Trinidad still needed a labor force for its sugar industry and indentured workers were brought in from India. For these and other reasons, Trinidad is one of the most cosmopolitan societies in the world and presents some fascinating opportunities for the social historian. This is a well-written, balanced history with enough analysis to make it very interesting.
