Book excerpt: As the one major, book-length English chronicle and natural history of the Caribbean published in the seventeenth century, written at the time of experimental adoption of the sugar / African slavery complex that would come to characterise the Caribbean for two hundred years, to such disastrous effects, Ligon's True & Exact History of the Island of Barbados is a -- if not the -- central text that records and, in part, worries over this transformation.
