An Unconquerable Spirit (Ian Randle Publishers), by Helen Francis-Seaman chronicles the resistance of the Kalinago, Garifuna and Maroon communities across the eastern Caribbean. Subtitled “The Indigenous Resistance to Colonisation in the Caribbean Windward Islands”, An Unconquerable Spirit seeks to dismantle imperialist versions of history, by focusing on the uncredited heroes of indigenous peoples, predominantly in St. Vincent and Dominica. Charting events spanning from 1492 to 1952, Francis-Seaman’s study is as revelatory as it is encompassing. Rooted in the sovereignty and determination of the First Nations peoples of the Caribbean, this timely addition to academic history has applications for all readers.
