Lennox Honychurch is Dominica's foremost historian, and this book is the definitive account of the island — from its volcanic formation and Kalinago settlement through colonisation, slavery, and independence. It is thorough but readable, and Honychurch's deep personal connection to the island (his family has been there for generations) gives the writing an intimacy that academic histories rarely manage. Essential background for understanding why Dominica is so different from its Caribbean neighbours.
