Offering a rare pan-Caribbean perspective on a region that has moved from the very center of the western world to its periphery, The Caribbean journeys through five centuries of economic and social development, emphasizing such topics as the slave-run plantation economy, the changes in political control over the centuries, the impact of the United States, and the effects of Castro's Cuban revolution on the area. The newly revised Second Edition clarifies the notions of "settler" and "exploitation" societies, makes more explicit the characteristics of state formation and the concept of fragmented nationalism, incorporates the results of recent scholarship, expands treatment of the modern period, updates the chronology of events, and adds a number of new tables. Integrating social analysis with political narrative, The Caribbean provides a unique perspective on the problems of nation-building in an area of dense populations, scarce resources, and an explosive political climate.

Perhaps a society cannot endure forever half-slave and half-free, but it certainly can endure a long time in that condition. In Cuba, slavery survived for more than forty years after its abolition in the other Caribbean plantation societies. It survived, further, into an age when technological change made slave labor both inefficient and redundant. Here, Franklin W. Knight examines the conditions that maintained slavery in Cuba in the nineteenth century, and perceptively analyzes the sociological effect of the institution on the island's politics, culture, and economy.

The Caribbean area projects an image--not entirely accurate--of instability, and it is within that context that the United States and Cuba, the region's chief protagonists, struggle. This book explores in detail the history and nature of Cuba's influence in the Commonwealth Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and South America, as well as its relations wi
