A Study on the Historiography
of the British West Indies to the End of the Nineteenth Century
by Elsa Goveia
A Study of the Historiography of the British West Indies, by Elsa V. Goveia, is essential reading for Caribbean studies scholars and students interested in the British West Indies. Dr. Goveia's refreshing viewpoint and skilled analysis of the history written about the West Indies in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries is both provocative and revealing. Her sharp observations cut through the tangle of intellectual speculation and academic debate on scholarship in this area. The book focuses on writings about the physical environment, ethnology, and social structure of the British West Indies as well as economic analyses and technological studies of navigation and agricultural and manufacturing processes. It further probes historical work addressing relevant questions of morality, philosophy, and politics in the Caribbean.
