Description:
Since its publication in 1985, Annie John has become one of the most widely taught novels in American high schools. Part of its appeal lies in its unique setting, the island of Antigua. Among the topics examined are slavery in the Caribbean, the varieties of religion in the Caribbean islands, the controversy over Christopher Columbus, family life in Antigua, and emigrations from the West Indies to the United States. Among the variety of materials are newspaper and magazine articles, editorials, first-person narratives and memoirs of life in the Caribbean, letters, an interview exclusive to this book, and position papers.
