Further Reading
The following lists are designed to help you find books that relate to the different sections of the module. They are not lists of required reading!
The Caribbean journal Callaloo is also worth checking from time to time, as is the weekly magazine Antilla, both available in the library. The library also takes the very useful Revue fran莽aise d鈥檋istoire d鈥檕utre-mer.
