What is Sea of Storms: A History of Hurricanes in the Greater Caribbean From Columbus to Katrina about?

"In this magisterial study, the histories of colonization, state formation, empire, slavery, and emancipation come into sharp relief when viewed through the eye of the hurricane. Sea of Storms is a tightly focused study that delivers perspectives as sweeping as the history of the Caribbean itself."--Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra, University of Texas at Austin "A five-century history of wind, race, and revolution, Sea of Storms is a remarkable achievement. Schwartz manages to combine rigorous social analysis that calls to mind Fernand Braudel's longue durée with a sense of humanity equal to that of Eduardo Galeano. Timely and urgent, Sea of Storms is history at its best, revealing the past while helping us make sense of our present."--Greg Grandin, author of The Empire of Necessity: Slavery, Freedom, and Deception in the New World "Stuart Schwartz has a vivid eye for evidence, a deft way with detail, and a knack for peopling vast historical landscapes with real lives. Sea of Storms is exemplary: a work of environmental history that's sensitive to culture, and of cultural history driven, but not determined, by the wind."--Felipe Fernández-Armesto, author of Our America: A Hispanic History
