Exploring the effects of emancipation on local economies and societies, James Anthony Froude traveled through the British West Indies in the late 19th century. Froude was skeptical about the abolition of slavery which occurred decades earlier. He believed the West Indies still needed British governance.

This new edition includes in addition "Froudacity", a work in which J.J Thomas, a famous Trinidadian intellectual and writer, dismantles Froude's racist assumptions and defends the capability and dignity of Caribbean people.
