The following links
will take you to pages on this site that list Websites that deal with the colonial history
of the European relationship with the aboriginal peoples of the Caribbean, how Europeans
described Caribbean natives, how they mapped them, how they sought to convert and
assimilate them, the myths they developed, and Amerindian resistance. Moreover, the intent
of this category is to show the degree to which colonial discourses about Caribbean
Amerindians continue to be reproduced and presented on the Internet, hence the
contemporary materials on cannibalism, missionaries and tourist brochure depictions of the
Amerindian history of the Caribbean.
