Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Peoples History - Bahamas & Turks & Caicos Islands Civilizations The Americas' modern nations exist today because of what took place over 500 years ago in a tiny archipelago that Spanish explorers called the Lucayan Islands or the Islas de Los Lucayos (today's Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands). The tragic events that originated from these shores resulted in humanity's continuing drama in its quest for peace. In this insightful book, Tellis A. Bethel shares how the Old World's ruthless transformation of the Ancient World into a new one (today's Americas) began in these Lucayan Islands. This book lays a concise historical foundation for finding purpose and meaning in a tragic past that could change the world for the better. As you read Book 1, you will discover how: the Ancient World of the Western Hemisphere began with an ancient migration from northeast Asia into Alaska; the Caribbean Islands were colonized from Central and South America, and the predominant indigenous groups involved (Arawaks, Tainos, Caribs, and Lucayans); Asians, Africans, and other Europeans may have arrived in the Ancient World of the Western Hemisphere before Christopher Columbus; Columbus' special gift while at Hispaniola from a local chief changed history; the Lucayans were the first to be forcibly taken from their homeland during Columbus' first landfall in the Americas, marked the beginnings of European slavery within the Americas; Spain may not have been the first European country to have political jurisdiction over the Lucayan Islands, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keegan and Carlson, combined, have spent over 45 years conducting archaeological research in the Caribbean, directing projects in Trinidad, Grenada, St. Lucia, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, the Turks & Caicos Islands, and throughout the Bahamas. Walking hundreds of miles of beaches, working without shade in the Caribbean sun, diving in refreshing and pristine waters, and studying the people and natural environment around them has given them insights into the lifeways of the people who lived in the Caribbean before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Sadly, harsh treatment extinguished the culture that we today call Taíno or Arawak. In an effort to repay their debt to the past and the present, the authors have focused on the relationship between the Taínos of the past (revealed through archaeological investigations) and the present natural history of the islands. Bringing the past to life and highlighting commonalities between past and present, they emphasize Taíno words and beliefs about their worldview and culture.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From two leading historians of Bahamian history comes this groundbreaking work on a unique archipelagic nation. Islanders in the Stream is not only the first comprehensive chronicle of the Bahamian people, it is also the first work of its kind and scale for any Caribbean nation. This comprehensive volume details the full, extraordinary history of all the people who have ever inhabited the islands and explains the evolution of a Bahamian national identity within the framework of neighboring territories in similar circumstances. Divided into three sections, this volume covers the period from aboriginal times to the end of formal slavery in 1838. The first part includes authoritative accounts of Columbus’s first landfall in the New World on San Salvador island, his voyage through the Bahamas, and the ensuing disastrous collision of European and native Arawak cultures. Covering the islands’ initial settlement, the second section ranges from the initial European incursions and the first English settlements through the lawless era of pirate misrule to Britain’s official takeover and development of the colony in the eighteenth century. The third, and largest, section offers a full analysis of Bahamian slave society through the great influx of Empire Loyalists and their slaves at the end of the American Revolution to the purported achievement of full freedom for the slaves in 1838. This work is both a pioneering social history and a richly illustrated narrative modifying previous Eurocentric interpretations of the islands’ early history. Written to appeal to Bahamians as well as all those interested in Caribbean history, Islanders in the Stream looks at the islands and their people in their fullest contexts, constituting not just the most thorough view of Bahamian history to date but a major contribution to Caribbean historiography.
