A Continent of Islands: Searching for the Caribbean Destiny.

After seven years covering the Caribbean for the Chicago Tribune, this is a study of the Caribbean, its history, culture, and society. It explores everything from pollution , to the politic of hurricanes, to religion, to race relations, to music. From Cuba to Trinidad. After almost two decades it remains the necessary book for journalists, tourists, anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the region. About this title Washington Post Book World wrote: “An engaging book by an excellent journalist. Kirkus Review wrote, “A penetrating analysis of the social, political, sexual, and cultural worlds that exist behind the four-color Caribbean travel posters.”
