- Summary:
- This book explores the history and resistance of the Kalinago people, Indigenous inhabitants of the Caribbean Windward Islands, against European colonization from the fifteenth century onward. Based on Helen Pauline's doctoral research, it provides an in-depth analysis of Kalinago diplomacy, military strategies, and cultural resilience. The work challenges colonial narratives that misrepresented the Kalinago as 'cannibals' and highlights their sophisticated social structures, survival strategies, and the emergence of the Garifuna sub-group. It also examines the broader context of European imperialism, African enslavement, and the enduring legacy of Indigenous resistance in the Caribbean. Generated by AI.
