"Women in Caribbean History is highly recommended for women's studies and Caribbean history curricul

"Women in Caribbean History is an introductory reader that provides students and the general reading public with an accessibly presented overview of the lives of Caribbean women of diverse ethnic origins. Even though this research focuses on enslaved black women, it also describes indigenous European, Chinese and Indian women who lived in the English-speaking Caribbean. Women in Caribbean History reveals new historical information on a hitherto much neglected subject, and provides details on the economic, social, and political roles of women in the Caribbean. Women in Caribbean History also explains how the use of gender analysis can shape our understanding of Caribbean history. A masterpiece of informative contemporary scholarship, Women in Caribbean History is highly recommended for women's studies and Caribbean history curriculums." --The Bookwatch, April 1999
