Dominica by H. van Kol
"Dominica" by H. van Kol is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the geography, environment, and cultural aspects of Dominica, an island characterized by its mountainous terrain and rich natural resources. It presents an examination of the island’s development, its demographics, and the social dynamics among its inhabitants. In the book, van Kol provides vivid descriptions of Dominica’s landscape, including its fertile valleys and volcanic
mountains, along with insights into the daily lives of its people, particularly the Caribs, the island's indigenous population. Through his exploration, he reflects on the historical challenges faced by the Caribs, including colonization and the loss of their ancestral lands. The author also emphasizes encounters with various aspects of the community, from bustling markets in Roseau to the local judicial system. Along the way, he comments on the shifts in societal structures and the implications of colonial governance, painting a picture of a rich yet troubled heritage marked by resilience and adaptation.
