More about the book

The narrative explores Tobago's rich history, focusing on its agricultural prominence during the tobacco, indigo, and sugar eras. The island attracted various European powers, leading to the establishment of plantations reliant on enslaved labor. Throughout the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, Tobago changed hands frequently due to European conflicts, impacting its economy tied to sugar prices. By the mid-1800s, economic collapse prompted Tobago's union with Trinidad in 1899, marking a significant turning point in its history.
