Cover of Empire's Crossroads: A History of the Caribbean from Columbus to the Present Day

Carrie Gibson · 2014 · Nonfiction

Why we chose it: A brisk, panoramic narrative of the whole Caribbean from Columbus to the present. Gibson’s gift is treating the region as one connected story rather than a scatter of separate colonial histories.
