companion volume stand out as a special kind of Caribbean
history.--American Historical Review
This is a rich work, with a capacity to illuminate many poorly
understood corners of Bahamian history and to tell us much about
the wider Caribbean world . . . In achieving their objectives,
Craton and Saunders make excellent use of a wide variety of source
materials, from archaeology to more traditional documentary
materials.--Journal of American History
Unique . . . This work sets a standard for other islanders to
aspire to in writing their own histories.--Library Journal
