The Case of the Caribbs in St. Vincent’s (1788)

Thomas Coke

The Case of the Caribbs in St. Vincent's (1788) is a historical book written by Thomas Coke. The book is an account of the events that took place in St. Vincent's in the late 18th century, particularly the struggles of the Caribbs, the indigenous people of the island, against the British colonial authorities. The book details the Caribbs' resistance to the British attempts to dispossess them of their land and to impose their culture and way of life on the native population. It also describes the various conflicts that arose between the Caribbs and the British, including the Caribbs' participation in the American War of Independence and their eventual defeat by the British forces. The book provides an insight into the complex and often brutal dynamics of colonialism, as well as the resilience and determination of the Caribbs in the face of adversity. Overall, The Case of the Caribbs in St. Vincent's (1788) is a valuable historical document that sheds light on an important chapter in the history of the Caribbean and the struggle for indigenous rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
