St Vincent and the Grenadines: A General History to the Year 2025 - Native Peoples, Genocide, and African Enslavement in St Vincent and the Grenadines, Circa BP 5000 to 1838, by professional historians Adrian Fraser, Garrey Dennie, and Cleve Scott, is a compelling and engaging account that transports the reader into the hidden recesses of the journey of a small multi-island nation state. Using a combination of primary and contemporary sources, wonderfully illustrated by maps, tables and photographs, the authors take us on a journey along the main contours of the history of St Vincent and the Grenadines - the lives of the Indigenous Peoples before European settlement, war and genocide, enslavement, resistance, emancipation and apprenticeship.

The authors keep the reader engaged by telling the story of Chatoyer and his heroic resistance in the 1790s and the sickening tragedy of the forced removal of approximately five thousand Garifuna men, women, and children to the barren island of Balliceaux, underscoring why strident calls for reparatory justice for native genocide and slavery are still audible in the region today.
