paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. New York. 1968. Monthly Review Press. Reprinted Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0853451303. 506 pages. paperback. keywords: Caribbean History. DESCRIPTION - This book covers the British and former British West Indian territories, that is, the entire English-speaking Antilles, including the mainland territories of Guyana and British Honduras and the Atlantic territories of Bermuda and the Bahamas. It provides an analysis and interpretation of modern West Indian society over the period of the last forty years. For the first time here is a comprehensive study that is at once panoramic in scope and scholarly in depth, analyzing in detail the character of the various elements that have gone to make up the whole West Indian society from the First World War. Lewis focuses in this brilliant volume on the contemporary period of the English-speaking West Indies. Instead of the traveler's account or journalistic essay which have been the usual fare, Lewis gives us an in-depth analysis of the forces which have contributed to the shaping of West Indian society. In this undertaking of large dimensions Lewis has used a variety of written sources as well as material from his own travels. The task is herculean, but Lewis has been most successful. - Choice. nothing short of brilliant. a fruitful combination of political biography and social history. If the author's method does not adjust to contemporary canons of objective social science it at least has the virtue of combining profound intellectual honesty with tenacious and unmuddled ideological commitment. Gordon Lewis, in the final analysis, is as much an adopted West Indian as he is the detached left-wing Laborite intellectual. And while the latter gives this study its thoroughly ideological pugnaciousness, it is the former which gives it its profoundly human quality. The end product is ample testimony to the felicitous marriage of the two.' - The Hispanic American Historical Review. inventory #45527. Seller Inventory # z45527
