Reseña del libro "History Matters: Reassembling the Fragments of a Contested Past - In Honour of Bridget Brereton (en Inglés)"

The most consequential Caribbean historian of hergeneration, Bridget Brereton has produced a string of innovative andpath-breaking studies that have had a profound influence on the ways we havecome to understand many of the major events in the area's history. This Worktips its hat to her contributions, as well as suggests ways to expand on theresearch agenda she has set. Taking its cue from Brereton, the essays are generallyreader friendly in their exploration of the economic, social, political and cultural history of the area. Brereton's work is always"balanced." So too are the contributions to this anthology. Complexsocieties, Brereton insists, demand complex histories. These essays do exactlythat. Like her work, this collection also breaks through old historiographicalboundaries. To its credit, the geographical and thematic coverage iscomprehensive although, not surprisingly, Trinidad and Tobago attracts aplurality of interest. Its range and mix make this work one of a kind. There areother anthologies that cover aspects of the area's history, but nothing ascomprehensive in its historical and thematic reach. It brings to mind GordonLewis's, The Growth of the Modern WestIndies (1968) which for years was basic fare of graduate seminars. Lewisidentified what he called Caribbean "characteristics." It was a housedivided against itself in which parochial governing elites butted heads againstoutside liberal influences before and after emancipation, a place where statuswas symbolized by skin colour and an area, which with the collapse of KingSugar and emancipation, became a back water until World War II. This workexpands on many of the same themes reaching beyond Lewis to cover all languageareas.
