Description
The Kalinago people of Dominica have long resisted the impact of European contact. This book sheds new light on their relationship with outsiders and explores how they adapted to changing circumstances. In remarkable detail, it reveals the complex history of the Kalinago from early resistance to eventual revival of traditional practices in the 21st century. The author provides an accessible and indispensable account of this pivotal period in Caribbean history. Through its pages, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the Kalinago's experiences and their significance in the broader context of colonialism and cultural exchange.
