Resistance, Refuge, Revival

What happened to the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean in the wake of the European adventurers who claimed to have "discovered" them? While in some parts of the region they were decimated within a generation, others, such as the Kalinagos of Dominica resisted the onslaught. This book sheds new light on the history and culture of the Kalinagos from pre-Columbian times to the present day. Written by Dominica's distinguished historian and anthropologist, this book explores In remarkable detail how they have shifted identities from the early years of resistance, through tactical retreat to the eventual revival of Kalinago tradition in the 21st century.
