A Brief History of Barbados takes readers on a captivating journey through the rich and complex past of the Caribbean island known as "Little England." From its early settlement by Indigenous peoples to its colonization by the British in the 17th century, Barbados played a key role in the Atlantic slave trade and the rise of plantation economies fueled by sugar. The book explores the island's transformation through colonial rule, resistance, and emancipation, shedding light on the cultural and political forces that shaped its identity.
In tracing Barbados's path from British colony to independent nation in 1966, the book also highlights its outsized influence in regional politics, its vibrant Afro-Caribbean culture, and its recent transition to a republic in 2021. Accessible, engaging, and informative, A Brief History of Barbados is the perfect introduction to one of the Caribbean's most historically significant-and resilient-islands.
