Reseña del editor:

This treatment of the Lesser Antilles covers the period from Columbus to the abolition of slavery. The essays show how they emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries as one of the world's most advanced economic zones and how they served as stepping-stones for the expansion of the plantation system.
