St Kitts
St Kitts, or Saint Christopher to give its full name, was first recorded in 1493 during the second voyage of Columbus to the Caribbean. As one of the Leeward Islands it has a delightful year-round climate with impressive mountains, a lush countryside, and some excellent sun-drenched beaches. The island also has an interesting history but perhaps its greatest asset is an unspoilt charm and serenity. In this indispensable and comprehensive guide the author, as well as providing plenty of practical information, introduces the reader to the many attractions of this beautiful island, where to go and what to see; and in addition provides a background of the geography, history, natural history, people and culture. Brian Dyde's association with St Kitts began in 1973 while in the Royal Navy carrying out work for the production of new charts of the Leeward Islands. This is his third book in the Island Guide series, and is illustrated by some of his own photographs.

Robert Johnson seeks to address these concerns with in-depth look at colonial and post-colonial auxiliaries.
Created in Their Image
E very denomination entered the Caribbean with a mission. While the general motivation was to convert the population to Christianity, the accompanying practices were undoubtedly intended to civilise and westernise. The Moravians and Methodists were the first two evangelical Protestant missions that brought the gospel to the enslaved Africans in the Caribbean.When emancipation was granted to the enslaved Africans by the British government in 1834, the newly freed Africans had their own ideas as to how they would live, work, and worship.
