Introduction to the London EditionThis book tells the story of the travails and tribulations of a British Colony which, after a hundred and sixty-five years of crown colony rule, achieved its independence on August 31, 1962.It is the story of the misrule of metropolitan bureaucracy and the indifference of metropolitan scholarship. Trinidad and Tobago attracted metropolitan attention only in periods of riot and disorder (1903 and 1937), only when the discovery of oil made it an object of interest to the British Navy and British capitalism, only when its in¬valuable natural harbour. Chaguaramas, made it a useful pawn to be traded by Britain against American aid in the Second World War.These developments apart. Trinidad and Tobago was merely a crown colony, forgotten and forlorn. No British statesman of sub¬stance was ever distracted by it from larger and more important issues. unless it was Joseph Chamberlain. and his connection with Trinidad and Tobago is probably the least reputable phase in his career. No British scholar found it worth his while to pay any atten¬tion to the history and potential of Trinidad and Tobago. unless it was Froude who came and went on a tourist visit leaving only froudacity behindTo metropolitan officialdom and the metropolitan press. Trinidad and Tobago emerged. after the revelations of the bankruptcy of colonialism by the Royal Commission of 1938, merely as a colony with a higher national income than its neighbours which. by imperialist criteria, did not need the economic aid provided under Development and Welfare by the United Kingdom.Colonial nationalism, in India. Africa and elsewhere. has given high priority to the rewriting of the history purveyed by metropolitan scholars and to writing that history where the metropolitan country has ignored or bypassed it. The very fact of National Independence. therefore. made this history of Trinidad and Tobago mandatory.

'It's often said that books are compulsory reading, but this book really is compulsory. You cannot understand slavery, or British Empire, without it' Sathnam Sanghera\nArguing that the slave trade was at the heart of Britain's economic progress, Eric Williams's landmark 1944 study revealed the connections between capitalism and racism, and has influenced generations of historians ever since.\nWilliams traces the rise and fall of the Atlantic slave trade through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to show how it laid the foundations of the Industrial Revolution, and how racism arose as a means of rationalising an economic decision. Most significantly, he showed how slavery was only abolished when it ceased to become financially viable, exploding the myth of emancipation as a mark of Britain's moral progress.\n'Its thesis is a starting point for a new generation of scholarship' New Yorker
