Reviews

"<p>This book should be essential reading for all Caribbean scholars...it cogently fills a gap in Caribbean historiography.<br /></p>" — Marco Meniketti, San Jose State University

"<p>It was a very interesting and stimulating read. Its originality lies in its wide geographical and temporal coverage, encompassing all the main European colonial manifestations of military archaeology and their legacy in the 21st century. <br /></p>" — Niall Finneran, University of Winchester

Description

Military sites across the Caribbean have long served as meaningful points of cultural contact and social interaction. Bringing together archival and archaeological evidence from British, Dutch, Danish, French and Spanish Caribbean islands, this volume examines military sites within their wider social and historical contexts. It explores colonialism, globalisation and community relationships, alongside the contributions of African Caribbean peoples and the significance of military life to Caribbean history and heritage.
