Description
William W. Boyer. 2010 [1971]. America's Virgin Islands: A History of Human Rights and Wrongs (Second Edition). Durham, NC: Carolina Academic Press. This is the second edition of William Boyer's book America's Virgin Islands: A History of Human Rights and Wrongs, first published in 1971. The book covers the whole history of the region from Christopher Columbus to the present, but places emphasis on the American period, from 1917 onward. This second edition contains, in addition to the original 1971 text, a brief 41-pages-long update section, under the title "Persisting Problems: 1980-2010" (2010: 389-430). The book is eloquently written, and includes abundant statistical evidence and quotations from innumerable historical documents, evidencing a monumental archival research.
