More about the book

The narrative explores Tobago's rich history, highlighting its agricultural significance during the tobacco, indigo, and sugar eras. The island attracted various European powers, leading to a reliance on slave labor for sugar cultivation. Throughout the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, Tobago's ownership frequently changed due to European conflicts, impacting its economy, which ultimately collapsed by the mid-1800s. The book concludes with Tobago's union with Trinidad in 1899, marking a pivotal moment in its quest for stability and survival.
