"The study is concerned mainly with the growth and development of political ideas in the Caribbean since the latter half of the eighteenth century. It attempts an analysis of the more significant intellectual formulations which have emerged in the region during the period ... it includes reference to some of the major economic theories which have shaped the Caribbean reality over the years."--Introduction ([p. xi]).
