More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
In this book Sir Alexander Hoyos has brought together all of the extensive research which has provided the material for his many publications, and has achieved, therefore, the first complete history of Barbados since R H Schomburgk's The History of Barbados, published in 1848. The demand for such a study, at a time of fundamental change, is obvious: the author has met the demand with a comprehensive, scholarly and readable book.
This complete narrative of the island's development has a multiple purpose. For examination candidates and university students it provides an invaluable introduction to research techniques and the use of primary sources; for the interested layman it traces the political and cultural heritage of Barbados and reveals the gradual but logical progression towards independence.

Format:Paperback
This was a very informative book, with an appropriate title. It was essentially a book on politics especially towards the middle and end, this made it a little hard going and 'dry', nevertheless it was interesting.
