Annotation |
The term West Indian usually refers to people from the English-speaking Caribbean. This book explains West Indian history, recounting how European settlers wiped out the original Caribbean inhabitants and how modern West Indians descended from Africans brought over as slaves. Economic factors have caused many West Indians to emigrate to the United States even though they have been appalled by U.S. racism. For grades 5-8 and older readers.
