Politics and Economics in the Caribbean, 2nd Edition


Mathews, Thomas G. & Fuat M. Andic, Eds., Politics and Economics in the Caribbean, {Second Edition completely revised}, Rio Piedras: Institute of Caribbean Studies, University of Puerto Rico, 1971 (two copies).

From the Preface by the Editors:
When the first edition of Politics and Economics in the Caribbean was published, five years ago, the focus of the attention was the French & Dutch Caribbean with tangential reference to the British Caribbean. Long out of print, the book is still demanded by Caribbeanists and Universities alike as a reference and text book. Encouraged by this demand the present editors have prepared a completely new and enlarged edition. In addition to the areas covered in the first edition, this new version is enriched by articles on Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Haiti.
