The Case Of The Caribbs In St. Vincent's (1788)

The Case of the Caribbs in St. Vincent's, written by Thomas Coke and published in 1788, is a historical account of the treatment of the Carib people in the Caribbean island of St. Vincent during the late 18th century. The book details the conflict between the British colonial government and the Carib people, who were the indigenous inhabitants of the island. Coke, who was a British missionary and abolitionist, provides a detailed analysis of the British government's policies towards the Caribs, including their forced removal from their ancestral lands and the enslavement of many of their people. He also highlights the Caribs' resistance to these policies and their efforts to maintain their cultural identity and way of life. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the colonial history of the Caribbean and the struggles of indigenous peoples against colonial oppression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
