(James Anthony) The English in the West Indies; Or, The Bow of Ulysses Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Jane Hyland and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The English in the West Indies; Or, The Bow of Ulysses" by James Anthony Froude is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work reflects on the condition, history, and governance of British colonies in the West Indies, as observed through the author's travels in the region. The text likely explores various socio-political issues, including colonial policies, self-governance, and the impacts of slavery and emancipation on island societies. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Froude's exploration of the West Indies following a Colonial Exhibition in Britain. He discusses the political discourse of the time regarding the potential for self-governance among the colonies and their relationship with the British Empire. Froude presents a critical reflection on the demographic and economic conditions of the various islands, touching upon topics such as the legacy of slavery, the dynamics between the black and white populations, and the historical significance of British naval exploits in the Caribbean. Through these themes, he aims to reveal the complexities and challenges the West Indies faced in relation to British colonialism, hinting at both the historical pride and the contemporary struggles of the region.
