From the Editorial Foreword:
To give the layman a panoramic but not superficial over-view of the Caribbean area, its islands and their people, is in itself a large service. But this study goes further to set the West Indies meaningfully in the perspective of their historical past, as well as to present the problems of the present in a challenging and constructive interpretation looking toward their future. At a time when the Caribbean has become one of the crucial foci of national, hemispheric and international politics, such an approach, and the more comprehensive understanding it makes possible, seem imperative.
