Product Description
Migration is integral to the history of the Caribbean peoples. Since the demise of slavery in the British West Indies in 1838 and the subsequent decline of the colonial islands' slave-based sugar industry, West Indians have set off from their shores in pursuit of a better way of life. Pilgrims from the Sun chronicles the migration of people from the English-speaking Caribbean to the United States, detailing the largely economic reasons for their departure and the cultural reasons for their successful settlement.
