The Caribbean

Today, the Caribbean represents an archipelago of independent nations and colonies or dependencies of the European states and the United States. From the earliest days of colonization, during the Spanish conquest, it served as a platform for launching subsequent explorations in the American continent. The issue of slavery in Havana, Cuba has been extensively examined by UC Berkeley faculty member Dr. Elena Schneider in her latest publication, “The occupation of Havana: War, Trade, and Slavery in the Atlantic World.”
