From the Introduction:
In many respects this book is a companion to The Short History of the West Indies in which the aim was the study of the West Indies in its own right. The emphasis here is also on 'the accumulated experience of the people of the West Indies' but with this difference, that attention is directed especially to the experience of the black and brown people who comprise the large majority of the West Indian people; and an attempt is made also to indicate the importance of that inner world of the folk, the 'inscape' in Edward Brathwaite's phrase, which we have for so long either disregarded or disowned.
