Reviews

Bahamian Society After Emancipation by Gail Saunders-Smith

This was exactly what I was looking for: an in-depth, highly detailed series of essays on life in the Bahamas during the 19th and 20th centuries.
I'm writing an alt-history novel set in the Bahamas in 1908 and wanted to base it heavily in reality. This book had great information for me to use.
