5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite detailing of a people and their culture!, 3 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Here, the interested reader will find an unparalleled account of a great people sadly wiped out by greed. This book is the foremost reference on the people and culture from the carribean. Nowhere can there be found a more complete account. No other book can compare to what one can learn from this book. This is by far the best book I have found on the subject of precolumbian culture in the Carribean!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!!!!!, 26 Aug 1998
By A Customer
The book is based on El Museo del Barrio which resurrected the Taino culture for native New Yorkers in the late 1970's. It is a must read on the Taino people and culture. The color prints of the artifacts and the English translation of archive material brings one closer to what the Taino people were.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly well researched and written!, 6 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This book is a must for anyone who has an interest in the Caribbean and pre-Columbian art and culture. In addition to scholarly essays on specific aspects of Taino culture, there are many beautiful images and line drawings that explain patterns and sybols found throughout Taino art.
