Richard Ligon Bücher

A chronicle and natural history of the Caribbean. It records experimental adoption of the sugar/African slavery complex that would come to characterise the Caribbean for two hundred years, to such disastrous effects.

Offering a detailed historical account of seventeenth-century Barbados, this book explores the island's geography, flora and fauna, politics, and society. Enhanced with illustrations and maps, it serves as an essential resource for those interested in the rich history and culture of Barbados.
