This novel is a history and tale of the Caribbean Islands, from 1310 to the 20th century. It introduces us to the advanced Mayan culture that was there before the Europeans, with their scientific wonders. It tells of the colonization of the native peoples and the rise of the brutal slave trade. It encompasses Haiti’s slave revolt and the rise of the Cuban revolution. Through it all, people search for a better life.
This 12-hour docuseries tells the story of the 8-year American Revolution, 8 years of civil war. Ken Burns tells the story through different renowned actors reading letters of journal entries.
The series examines questions we were not taught in school. For example, how the revolutionary fight hastened and ensured a wider and violent encroachment on Native American lands. It shows the issue of slavery haunting every step of this new country. It shows women asserting themselves in the battle for a better life.
What is liberty? Freedom? What did they fight for? What was won? And what remains to be won today? These are some of the questions posed in the series.
